FAITH BASED ADDICTION TREATMENT AND REHAB

“God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves” – The Big Book

We provide faith based treatment because it works. The relationship between faith and spiritual practice and long-term sobriety is well documented. Thousands of men and women have been able to recover from drug and alcohol addiction through spiritual work and practice. That is why at the heart of our Christian rehab program are faith based treatment modalities including bible study, daily morning devotions, 12 step meetings, regular church services, and Christian counseling services. In our faith based treatment program, we believe that the problems that lead one to drugs and alcohol and the problems caused by drugs and alcohol can be resolved through faith in God. Faith and spiritual practice facilitates recovery because recovering addicts and alcoholics are living examples of how God does for us what we can’t do for ourselves. Many felt hopeless that they would ever be able to abstain from drugs and alcohol yet were able to through the help of God. Many addicts and alcoholics know that the way they are living is not the way God intended them to live. Through faith based addiction treatment and recovery, studying and working with other Christians, alcoholics and addicts have been able find themselves and God again. They know deep within that they are blessed to live happy and healthy lives as productive members of society. Our faith based drug and alcohol treatment program equips clients with the tools to be just that.

For Christians on the road from addiction to recovery, it’s also important to find a rehabilitation center that offers faith-based services that can uniquely support your sobriety and journey of spiritual growth.

FAQs About Faith Based Rehab

Faith-based rehab is professional addiction treatment that emphasizes faith in God in addition to medical and mental health support.

Faith-based rehab facilities are mainly equipped to deal with substance abuse issues — problems with drugs and alcohol.

Absolutely. If you have doubts about whether God loves you, will forgive you, or is even there, you’ve come to the right place.

We strive to do the same for anyone at any stage in their journey of faith.
