A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING: INCORPORATING SPIRITUALITY IN TREATMENT PROGRAMS

by DMin Helene H Loper

Overview

"In the day-to-day operation of a treatment program for adolescent girls, it is easy to focus on staying sober without looking at the teenager's heart. As a consultant at such a program, I can remember being impressed about the way Rev. Loper's 'spirituality groups' stuck to the ribs of the participants. She seemed to enable the opening of the heart and the soul of many of these young girls. Sobriety is one thing and healing may be another. 'Spiritual groups' tie the knot together, releasing strength and a self-reliance these girls didn't know they had or misplaced as bullying and self-destructive behavior. Get the heart and the mind and body will follow, spirituality is a very powerful part of recovery that once embraced, is hard to leave behind."
