TL;DR: A brief review of the research on workaholism and the family can be found in this paper, where a typology of work-aholic behavior is proposed, based on level of work initiation and work completion, denotes four types of workaholics: relentless, bulimic, attention-deficit, and savoring.
Abstract: This article presents a brief review of the research on workaholism and the family and offers a typology of workaholism that more adequately portrays the various work styles of workaholics than have past classifications. This typology, which is based on level of work initiation and work completion, denotes 4 types of workaholics: relentless, bulimic, attention-deficit, and savoring. Implications of this typology for the practice of counseling are proposed.

TL;DR: Those who completed a post incarceration drug treatment program were more likely to be women who had not used drugs 30 days before program admission, had fewer prior treatment experiences, remained in the program longer, and had secured employment and stable living arrangements by the time of discharge.
Abstract: Using secondary analysis, this study compared the characteristics of 1,763 parolees with substance abuse problems who successfully completed a post incarceration drug treatment program with those who did not.

TL;DR: This article explored the relationship between scores on the Spiritual Well-Being Scale and subscales from the Rokeach Value Survey and the Personal Orientation Inventory of substance abuse counselors in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Abstract: This study explored the relationship between scores on the Spiritual Well-Being Scale and subscales from the Rokeach Value Survey and the Personal Orientation Inventory of substance abuse counselors in the Commonwealth of Virginia. This study also examined the impact of counselors' spiritual well-being on the spiritual well-being of patients in their clinical care. The results indicated that the values of wisdom and loving from the Rokeach Value Survey and self-acceptance from the Personal Orientation Inventory accounted for approximately half of the spiritual well-being variance. These variables could be used as indicators in the supervisory process, could help promote substance abuse counselors' spiritual well-being, and could educate counselors on burnout prevention. Follow-up findings indicated a statistically significant change score on patients' pretest and posttest scores on the Spiritual Well-Being Scale, indicating an increase in patients' spiritual wellbeing while in inpatient addiction treatment.
