Background: Examination of recovery pathway process of substance abuse patients is very important and essential strategy to achieve patients' abstinence and soberness. Among the many factors that may affect substance abuse recovery pathway are the marital satisfaction and the personality traits of affected individuals. This study aims to investigate the relationship between marital satisfaction and personality traits as a pathway for recovery among recovering patients compared to substance abuse patients. Setting: AL-Abassia Psychiatric Mental Health Hospital. Design: descriptive correlation. Sample: convenient sample consisting of two groups. Each group composed of thirty couples. Group (1)"substance abuse patients & partners" and group (2) "recovering patients & partners". Tools: four tools were used for data collection: Personal Data Sheet, Marital Satisfaction Questioner, Addiction Recovery Pathway and Adult Personality Inventory (DSM-5). Results: 66% of husbands of both groups reported marital satisfaction, while 100% of female partners of both groups reported marital dissatisfaction. Negative personality traits were very high in husbands of both groups and female partners of group (2) but less in female partners of group (1). Female partners dissatisfaction of both groups was significantly correlated with their husbands, but not with recovery pathway. Less negative personality traits were the only significant correlated factor with recovery pathway. Conclusion: the recovery pathway was significantly affected by less negative personality traits, but not by marital satisfaction. Recommendation: female partners as caregivers feel great dissatisfaction and need support programs to help their husbands in their recovery pathway
