Weighing the evidence for spiritual and religious interventions for substance use problems
Weighing the evidence for spiritual and religious interventions for substance use problems
Spiritual and religious interventions are commonly used to treat substance use disorder, and findings from a number of randomized controlled trials suggest such interventions are effective. And yet it has been over a decade since this evidence has been weighed in a meta-analysis – a statistical approach that can assess findings from multiple studies to determine whether, taken together, they suggest a treatment works. This study brings us up to date with a meta-analysis of spiritual and religious interventions for substance use disorder that includes all randomized controlled trials on this subject from 1990-2018.
