The High Price of Drug Addiction

Substance abuse and addiction is a very serious problem in our society. Addicts spend huge amounts of money to buy drugs and often resort to crime and other destructive means just to get them. Drug dependence also causes family break-ups and lost opportunities for proper education and gainful employment. The drug addict is treated as a common criminal and outcast of society.

Many drug rehabilitation centers have been put up by both civic groups and medical institutions. Most of these centers are non-profit or are affiliated with religious groups.

Christian Drug Rehabilitation Centers

Christian groups have come to realize the effectiveness of faith-based principles in eliminating substance addiction. Christian drug rehab centers are founded on the premise that drug or substance abuse is caused by the need to cover up human problems and weaknesses, and that the only way to recover from addiction is face up to those weaknesses and turn to divine help for the strength to cope.

A typical Christian drug rehab center has an atmosphere of serenity and warmth, providing encouragement and inspiration for its clients. The centers usually have scenic gardens and lounging areas either for soul-searching or for quiet interactions with other patients.

Sessions in these drug rehabilitation centers are conducted by Christian ministers or volunteers, most of who were formerly addicts themselves. Thus they can understand what their clients are going through emotionally and spiritually.
Group dynamics activities involve sharing your own personal experiences with your peers, as well as exchanging comments and advice with them. There are also individual counseling sessions to check on your progress and address your unique needs, as well as post-recovery follow up sessions.

Christian rehab centers offer you the option of staying in as a temporary resident, or as an outpatient. Rehab programs usually take one to two months, or longer for more severe cases.

How to Contact a Christian Drug Rehab Center

Many of these centers have websites that provide details about their facilities and programs. They give you the location of the center nearest your home.

You can also contact local Christian churches or schools to get good recommendations.
