Relapse rates remain high among people with opioid dependence. Identifying psychosocial factors associated with outcomes is important for informing behavioral treatments. This study examined religious coping, opioid use, and 12-step participation among 45 participants receiving inpatient opioid detoxification at baseline and follow-up. At baseline, higher positive coping was related to less frequent opioid use pre-admission (beta = -.44, p < .001) and history of 12-step participation (OR = 2.33, p < .05). Decreases in negative coping after discharge predicted less opioid use (beta = .55, p < .001), and increases in positive coping predicted more frequent 12-step program participation (beta = .42, p < .05). Positive religious coping may be protective, while negative religious coping may be a barrier to treatment.
