Transcendental Meditation was found to be valuable in the treatment of a variety of psychiatric and addictive disorders in a vocational rehabilitation unit. At follow-up after discharge from the unit, patients who had learned Transcendental Meditation were found to be more often employed and more frequently maintained on outpatient care alone than non-meditating patients.
