Faith-based organizations provide essential recovery services to individuals experiencing homelessness. Research suggests that religion and spirituality aid recovery from alcohol and drug addiction, although less is known about these factors in homeless populations. This study used qualitative interviews to explore the role of religion in recovery from addiction in a sample of 14 adults with a history of homelessness. Analysis of emergent themes revealed that religion provided participants with a range of personal and social benefits, many which addressed personal, social, and tangible losses and crises associated with substance use and homelessness. Understanding the specific benefits religion may provide during recovery can guide research and help providers improve programs for this vulnerable population.
基于信仰的组织为无家可归者提供重要的康复服务。研究表明，宗教和精神信仰有助于戒除酒瘾和毒瘾，但关于无家可归人群中这些因素的了解较少。本研究使用定性访谈，在一个有过流浪经历的 14 名成年人样本中探索了宗教在戒除毒瘾方面的作用。对新出现的主题进行分析后发现，宗教为参与者提供了一系列个人和社会利益，其中许多利益涉及与物质使用和流浪相关的个人、社会和有形损失和危机。了解宗教在康复过程中可能提供的具体好处，可以指导研究并帮助提供者为这一弱势群体改进项目。
