The former Hole singer claims she and the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor meet daily to perform Buddhist chants together, which help her stay clean.
Love, 43, said: "We chant every day. The 12-step programme demands that you have a spiritual practice that you do daily.
"I love Orlando for this. He doesn't mind being outed as a Buddhist. I don't mind talking about it because it has changed my entire life, changed everything - restructured my body, restructured my physicality. Truly I can, not all the time, but I can take joy at really s****y situations."
The widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain also admitted Britney Spears' recent meltdown reminded her of her wild past.
Love - who was pictured handcuffed to a stretcher in 2004 when she was hospitalised for erratic behaviour - told US TV show 'Access Hollywood': "I was in rehab three-and-a-half years ago. And it worked.
"I know the exactitudes of what's going on, having been there.
"Here is what is going to happen if she doesn't get help - something very, very bad is going to happen. Marilyn Monroe was strapped to a stretcher too, but other than me and Britney, no one else has ever been strapped to a stretcher.
"People need to be more educated about drugs and the effect of drugs. It has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, addiction is a genetic condition and it is a disease. It's a part of our brain that doesn't care about consequences, and doesn't care if our children are going to get taken away."
Love - who has a 15-year-old daughter, Frances Bean - also claims to have helped troubled star Lindsay Lohan.
She said: "I went up to Lindsay's room one time and there was a show on called '101 Celebrity Oops' and I am like every other one, you know - boobs out, legs everywhere, throwing s**t at Madonna, you know, whatever. I'm like 'Lindsay, look! Drugs are bad!' "
