Abstract
This article reports the observations of one clinician working with the chemical dependency (CD) population in the outpatient format. Spiritual phenomena and positive changes resulting thereof in the recovery process of select patients made a great impression upon this writer. These spiritual changes were not treatment-induced or patient determined. Rather the spiritual phenomena observed were select and sudden, individual, personal and included remorse with the hope of restitution on the part of the subject. This observation included further study citing research, discussion, and conclusions. Spiritual practices are linked to better remission outcomes, but must also include voluntary participation on the part of the CD client. Further study and improved awareness of the importance of the Spiritual in the treatment of the CD population is needed.
