This project investigated the thesis that spirituality is a central factor in the prevention of substance dependency relapse. The project utilized Howard Clinebell's theory of spiritual well-being, Charlotte Davis Kasl's theory of empowerment, Carol Ochs' understanding of feminist spirituality, and the 12-Step and various alternative recovery models in addressing spiritual idolatry. The project was conducted in a sixteen-week out-patient aftercare program involving seven clients. Spiritual well-being was measured by a test-retest method using the Spiritual Well Being Scale developed by Craig Ellison and Raymond Paloutzian, the Keirsey and Bates Personality Profile, and Howard Clinebell's Relational Well Being Surveys. The findings supported the thesis that spirituality is a central issue in the prevention of relapse. The findings also indicated that through seeking well-being in one's primary relationships, one is empowered to experience sustained recovery from substance dependency.
