“…In a comment on the current state-ofthe-art in natural recovery research, Klingemann et al (2010) With respect to cannabis use disorders, very little natural recovery research has been conducted. In the two major systematic reviews of the natural recovery literature that have been conducted thus far (i.e., Carballo et al, 2007;, a total of 8 studies have involved cannabis (i.e., Boyd et al, 2005;Copeland, 1997;Cunningham, 1999;Cunningham, Koski-Jannes, & Toneatto, 1999;Cunningham, 2000;Ellingstad et al, 2006;Koski-Jannes & Turner, 1999;Price, Risk, & Spitznagel, 2001). …”

The recovery process from cannabis use disorders has received little empirical attention. Understanding how and the ways in which individuals with cannabis use disorders recover may help to improve formal treatments and facilitate recovery for those who wish to not seek treatment. The present study was undertaken with two primary objectives in mind. The first primary objective was to provide an exploratory portrait of the recovery process from cannabis use disorders from the perspective of individuals who have recovered. The second primary objective was to explore and systematically describe the similarities and differences between abstinence-and moderation-oriented recoveries, as well as the similarities and differences between treatment-assisted and natural recoveries. The methodology was largely borrowed from the natural recovery literature insofar as recovery was first inferred via the remission of diagnostic symptoms, and then explored predominantly via several interview domains (e.g., reasons for resolution, actions taken to recover, maintenance factors, barriers to treatment seeking).Several interesting and important findings emerged at the level of the total sample (N = 119), as well as at the level of group comparisons between the different recovery pathways. Notably, the findings lend further support to the effectiveness of cognitive, motivational, and behavioural strategies as helpful actions and maintenance factors

“…Investigations of the relationships between religiousness, spirituality, and positive mental health outcomes, increasingly headed in the direction of addiction research, have shown, for example, that increased spiritual practices are associated with longer-term addiction recovery (Carter 1998) and with the maintenance of treatment gains (Koski-Jännes and Turner 1999). Kaskutas et al (2003) found that when a spiritual awakening was reported as a result of their AA involvement, individuals were nearly four times more likely to be abstinent three years post-treatment than those who reported no spiritual awakening.…”

Spirituality and religiousness have long been associated with physical and mental health. The scientific treatment of religiosity as a multi-dimensional phenomenon is well established, especially in relation to chemical dependence treatment. Indeed, over 100 instruments are available for measuring various dimensions of religiosity. The more recent emergence of spirituality as an accepted construct in research has seen the development of a growing number of instruments to measure aspects of spirituality. The authors selected ten spirituality scales for review and discussion, and provided information relating to the scales' development, psychometrics, format, scoring, and availability. The scales are then conceptualized in terms of their aggregate and overlapping usefulness for research and practice, and suggestions are made concerning the salient dimensions of spirituality measured by each scale. The scales are presented as defining an increased sense of internalized spirituality that contributes to positive psychological and emotional outcomes underpinning recovery from chemical dependence. Spiritual and Religious Factors in Health InterventionIn medicine, psychology, and social work, empirical and theoretical traditions have a long history of associating spiritual well-being and/or robust religiousness with mental and physical health (Hill and Pargament 2003). There is a strong tendency among those in the helping professions to believe that a patient's spirituality/religiousness influences the course of medical and psychological interventions, recuperation from chronic illness, and mortality (Feher and Maley 1999;Kirkpatrick and McCullough 1999;Rose 1999;McCullough et al. 2000). In the literature on chemical dependence, spirituality and religiousness have been Int

“…In addition to improving addiction treatment outcome, spirituality also appears to have a key role in sustaining therapeutic gains (Koski-Jannes & Turner, 1999). For example, research has shown that individuals who abuse substances who relapsed were more likely to report lower levels of spirituality than those who remained abstinent (Jarusiewics, 2000).…”

“…For example, research has shown that individuals who abuse substances who relapsed were more likely to report lower levels of spirituality than those who remained abstinent (Jarusiewics, 2000). Thus, spirituality seems to be an essential component of a successful addiction recovery treatment (Chen, 2006;Jarusiewics, 2000;Koski-Jannes & Turner, 1999;Miller, 1998;O'Connell, 1999;Sandoz, 1999).…”

“…n the past 2 decades, mental health and health care professionals have become more interested in examining the effects of spirituality on the recovery process of individuals who have substance-related disorders (Chen, 2006;Jarusiewics, 2000;Koski-Jannes & Turner, 1999;Miller, 1998;O'Connell, 1999;Sandoz, 1999). This interest is largely stemming from the widespread use of spiritually based support groups (e.g., Narcotics Anonymous [NA] and other 12-step groups) in the treatment of addictive diseases (Ellis & Schoenfeld, 1990;Warfield & Goldstein, 1996) and from research indicating their relationship with treatment gains (Chen, 2006;Jarusiewics, 2000;KoskiJannes & Turner, 1999;O'Connell, 1999;Sandoz, 1999).…”

This study aims to examine the relationship between spirituality and believing in God's presence and depressive symptoms among 160 inpatient individuals who abuse substances. Findings indicated that both spirituality and believing in God's presence were significant predictors of depressive symptoms, whereby spirituality was inversely related to depressive symptoms and believing in God's presence was positively related to depressive symptoms. These findings may have implications for mental health practitioners considering implementation of spiritually based interventions that can develop and strengthen clients' spirituality.
