title: The role of spirituality in the recovery process.
abstract: Though innovative approaches to working with substance-abusing parents of maltreated children have emerged within the last few years, child welfare agencies continue to be challenged by the chronic nature of addictive diseases. This article discusses the often ignored element of spirituality as a critical component of recovery for parents. It also highlights how the regulation of spirituality by parents has a significant influence on their ability to responsibly care for their children.
