Faith, Religion, and TBI Recovery

Throughout the course of history, faith has played a bridging as well as dividing role in the human experience. When it comes to TBIs, the importance and influence of faith remains variable. Overall, survivors and families with strong religious beliefs and faith prior to the TBI, will likely continue to utilize their faith through the recovery process.

Religion and spiritual faith are strong recovery factors for TBI survivors with alcohol and substance abuse/dependence problems. Alternatively, many view medical and psychological treatment efforts as more beneficial to their improvement than particular religious beliefs. An individualized approach in understanding the premorbid and post-injury life of the patient is therefore likely to best inform the treatment process.
