“…a proactive attitude that leads to change, the desire for alcohol decreases (Mason et al 2009;Piderman et al 2007). A higher level of spirituality is also associated with less negative affect, more social and positive behaviour, and more appropriate self-care (Panati et al 2020), thereby increasing the power to abstain from alcohol.…”

Recovery from alcoholism is a complex, dynamic, personal and social process aimed not only at abstaining from alcohol but also at improving the quality of various areas of life. In this process, individuals rely on a variety of internal and external resources. One of these is spirituality/religiosity, which contributes to the results of alcoholism treatment in various ways. In this paper, where we used the systematic literature review method to analyze 28 different studies in the field of spirituality/religiosity in the recovery process from alcoholism, we present findings that indicate the role of spirituality as one of the components in this process. We shed light on several spiritual and religious factors that are, each in its specific way, important support to the individual in the process of recovery from alcoholism.

“…Studies indicate that RS may protect an individual against several adverse mental health outcomes (Lucchetti et al, 2021;Mosqueiro et al, 2021;Vitorino et al, 2018Vitorino et al, , 2023. Regarding substance use and abuse, RS are associated with a lower prevalence of alcohol, smoking, and other drug use in the general population (Giordano et al, 2015;Panati et al, 2020;Rezende-Pinto & Moreira-Almeida, 2023). Similarly, research indicates that RS positively help individuals diagnosed with a substance abuse disorder to achieve and maintain drug use abstinence, reduction, and/or withdrawal (Hai et al, 2019;Medlock et al, 2017).…”

Background: Alcohol and illicit drug use are prevalent among homeless people. Religiosity and spirituality (RS) have been widely associated with lower consumption of substances. However, evidence of this relationship among homeless people is still scarce. Aims: To evaluate the associations between RS and alcohol and illicit drug consumption among homeless people in a large Brazilian urban center. Method: This cross-sectional study was carried out in São Paulo city, Brazil. Aspects such as spirituality (FACIT-Sp12), religiosity (DUREL), spiritual-religious coping (Brief-RCOPE), and self-report questions concerning the current substance use (alcohol and illicit substances) were evaluated. Adjusted logistic regression models were used to assess the impact of RS beliefs on alcohol and illicit drug consumption. Results: A total of 456 homeless people were included, of an average age of 44.5 ( SD = 12.6) years. More than half of the participants consumed alcohol (55.7%) weekly and 34.2% used illicit drugs weekly. Adjusted logistic regression models identified that aspects of RS were associated with lower likelihood factors for alcohol and illicit drug use; conversely, negative spiritual religious coping (SRC) strategies were associated with a higher likelihood to use both. Conclusion: The prevalence of alcohol and illicit drug use among participants was high. RS and positive SRC were important protective factors for lower consumption of these substances. Conversely, negative SRC strategies were associated with risk factors.
