OUR STAFF

Christ Centered Counselors, Pastors and Case Managers

At “LINKS” (a Christian tract of Northbound Treatment) we consider our staff to be the backbone our Christian addiction treatment. That’s why we’ve put together a well-trained and experienced team to guide you through your Christian recovery. One of our main goals was to create a group of individuals who would make our clients feel comfortable, safe and open throughout the treatment process. When you join our Christian Addiction treatment community you’ll be cared for and counseled by a professional staff that is committed to every aspect of your recovery. At LINKS we base our Christian treatment program on the standard 12-Step Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous program in tandem with Christian recovery modalities. Many of our staff members are also in recovery themselves which allows them to draw from their own personal experiences and foster a deeper understanding and connection with our clients. All of our clients spend time with our counselors and therapists on a one-on-one basis and in group settings covering the psychological and physiological root causes of addiction in tandem with Christian recovery principles.  To learn more about our Christian Rehab Orange County LINKS Treatment Program, click here.
