Jewish communities often struggle to effectively support members battling addiction, with 83% of those seeking help from Jewish institutions reporting inadequate assistance. This disconnect stems partly from a persistent moral model of addiction that remains prevalent among American Jews, despite medical evidence supporting a biopsychosocial disease framework. Drawing from his unique perspective as both rabbi and addiction counselor, the author integrates theological analysis with personal narrative to explore how Jewish concepts of *teshuvah* (repentance) and *refuah* (healing) can meaningfully inform addiction recovery. The research combines analysis of Jewish textual sources, JACS (Jewish Alcoholics, Chemically Dependent Persons and Significant Others) survey data, and phenomenological reflection on Twelve-Step spirituality. Results demonstrate that *refuat ha-nefesh u'refuat ha-guf* (healing of soul and body) offers a culturally resonant framework for understanding addiction recovery, while Twelve-Step programs provide compatible spiritual resources when thoughtfully integrated with Jewish theology. This synthesis emphasizes divine partnership in healing and highlights how supportive community facilitates both individual and collective spiritual growth throughout the recovery journey.
