Abstract: Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of an integrative humanistic counseling program based on the Spiritual Self-Schema and Satir Model on enhancing religious-spiritual congruence among drug users and their families. The study also aimed to focus on individuals experiencing a decline in religious and spiritual congruence. Methods: The study developed religious, spiritual, and congruence scales, which were validated for reliability, internal consistency, and content accuracy. The scales were administered as a pre-test to participants, who included ten drug users at the Arjan Rehabilitation Center in Amman, Jordan, along with family members. A nine-week counseling program was designed followed by six phases of the Satir Model and incorporating the religious-spiritual pathway. Family members participated in four sessions. Statistical analysis was applied to the e data collected. Results: The study results showed a significant change in drug users’ self-perception, with an increased proclivity for a "spiritual self," viewing spiritual practices as part of the “Self,” and addictive traits as constituents of the “Other.” The results also showed that participants reported daily spiritual practices, enhanced spiritual experiences, and an improvement in congruence (intrapsychic, interpersonal, and universal–spiritual) among both drug users and their families. Conclusions: The study recommends the continuation of support to drug users to strengthen their religious and spiritual congruence. The study also underscores the effectiveness of integrating spirituality and the Satir Model into counseling programs at rehabilitation centers to promote holistic recovery among drug users.
