Abstract

ABSTRACT Religiously oriented organizations have helped address critical needs in the lives of individuals, families, and communities throughout the history of the United States. However, there are few studies that have explored variation in religious orientation across the substance use system of care. This study examined the level of religious orientation within services serving populations affected by substance use and misuse in a Midwest metropolitan area. We observed facility characteristics, substance use disorder (SUD) treatment services, and support services significantly differed by facility religious orientation. The most religiously oriented facilities were found in racially diverse communities, potentially addressing service gaps.
