Spirituality in Recovery: Insights from Non‐Christian Perspectives

What is spirituality? What is the role of spirituality when treating substance use disorders? Can 12-Step programs, which are rooted in Christian beliefs, be relevant to other cultural and religious traditions? This interactive workshop features discussion of three of the many spiritual approaches to recovery: Judaic, Buddhist and Native American.

Two of the three lectures in this course are audio only as the presenters did not utilize slides.
