Treatment Christian centers were formed soon after the emergence of the Christian psychiatry movement in the 1970s and early 1980s. Intended to attract Christian clients, the goal was to integrate religion and science with the practice of medicine.

The primary objective of treatment Christian centers is to provide rehabilitation to people who struggle with addictive, self-destructive behavior. Manned by religious professionals and medical experts, treatment Christian centers were founded on the belief that a combination of spiritual beliefs and values, loving emotional support and scientific psychotherapy are vital to a successful recovery. This movement has since gained a steady following and various treatment centers now advertised themselves as treatment Christian centers. More and more psychiatrists and psychologists now embrace the fact that religion and spirituality does wonders for the health - particularly mental and emotional health.

Treatment Christian centers provide Christ-centered transformation programs for a variety of addictions. Residential drug treatment, addiction treatment, alcohol and drug treatment, eating disorders treatment and chemical dependency treatment are among the most common recovery programs. Treatment Christian centers provide a safe place where recovering patients can share experiences, fears, hopes and dreams, without fear of judgment. Patients are treated as unique individuals who have the power to overcome their addictive behavior and turn their lives around. Trained counselors and therapists apply biblical principles to treat dysfunctional, compulsive and addictive behavior and help guide patients along the spiritual road to recovery. They are taught to overcome their addiction and incorporate back to mainstream society where they can live normal and productive lives. Most treatment Christian centers are not limited to any specific religion or denomination but espouse the common belief in a higher, sovereign power.

Thanks to the growing number of treatment Christian centers, there is hope and a great deal of help for individuals seeking recovery.
