Spiritual Well-being and Recovery
“Spiritual well-being is defined as the general and transcendent subjective experience of life meaning and purpose, which can be either connected to or separate from a religious institution or entity (Laudet et al., 2006; Vaughan, Wittine, & Walsh, 1998).,,Spiritual well-being can provide several psychological and emotional benefits for adults in SUD recovery (Laudet et al., 2006; Worley, 2020) including a sense of meaning, connectedness, and purpose (Flynn et al., 2003; Geppert et al., 2007; Laudet et al., 2006; Worley, 2020),,,Higher spiritual well-being predicted significantly less frequent substance use during recovery" (Kane, et. al.,2024)
Restorative Rose Ministry Supports (MAT) because…
Medication Assisted Treatment is specific language used in wellness for a person who is prescribed medication to compliment recovering services and treatments for substance use disorder (SUD). It can reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms which is necessary to prevent sudden death from quitting abruptly, overdose, or continued use.
To me this is the same as treating cancer with chemotherapy, diabetes with insulin, and mental illness with long-term medication.
Medication assisted treatment is a practice in the medical field that has been used successfully in chronic and deadly illnesses once perceived as death sentences and behavioral problems for a long time.

Mental Illness and Crime
“…The best epidemiological evidence (Swanson, et, al, 1990) which comes from the United States indicates that individuals with major mental disorders account for only a modest portion of violent crimes. In the US the figure is around 3 percent (Monahan, et. al., 2001)” (The Oxford Handbook of Criminology, 2017, p. 307)
“Most people with mental illness were not perpetrators of violence, but...
People with mental illness were 4 times more likely to be violent than people without mental illness” (Psycology Today, 2023)

“… Recovery is also clearly supported by a range of factors, including social, spiritual, and somatic, thus calling for a whole-health approach to facilitating recovery…[Findings] highlight the importance of treatment and recovery-oriented systems of care so that when individuals with mental health and/or substance use problems seek help, they are met with the knowledge and belief that anyone can recover, and that they can successfully manage their conditions”
