Abstract

Although spirituality has long been considered to be a protective factor in the treatment of substance use disorders, little has been done to operationalize the various dimensions of spirituality in clinical settings. The aim of this paper was to propose a framework – the three-legged stool – to act as a structure for spiritual interventions. The “stool” consists of three “legs”: creativity (creative arts and play therapy techniques), service (helping others), and solitude (contemplative prayer and meditation). The components of the framework are explained and support for the inclusion of each leg is offered.
