Much like choosing the right foods to support recovery, finding support in spirituality is often a key aspect of an addiction recovery program. Most people who recover from alcohol and drug addictions or substance use disorders find comfort in a higher power. It was shown in a study published in the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment that the connection to a higher power provides a process for finding meaning in often incomprehensible situations. This is one of the many reasons why having that higher power to find support is so important for addiction treatment and mental health recovery.

So, how should you find a connection to a higher power and seek guidance and support in spiritual formation as a critical aspect of your recovery program? And how can addiction treatment and mental health professionals assist you in guiding your spiritual direction? To delve into these profound questions, we must first understand what spiritual formation and spiritual direction are in the context of recovery groups.

These concepts encompass personal growth and indicate a pathway to understanding and overcoming addiction, with a particular emphasis on mental health.
