Christian Drug Rehab-It Works

March 23, 2009 - PRLog -- Christian drug rehab, on the outside, looks pretty much like every other form of drug addiction recovery.  When you look closer, Christian drug addiction recovery programs can offer drug addicts quite a lot more than an addiction recovery program that is based only upon abstinence and therapy.  While both Christian and non Christian types of addiction recovery can be beneficial, the truth is that Christian-based addiction recovery is what helps many people stay sober even after they have relapsed.  Drug addicts need a very specific form of support in order to get sober.  Christian drug rehab offers drug addicts the sense of support and acceptance they will crave as they work to get sober.

What are the signs that you or someone you know needs to check into a Christian drug rehab program?  There are a few warning signs that you should look for both in yourself and in the people you love.  If you find that you are acting differently than you acted before your drug habit took hold, you are most likely battling a drug addiction and will need professional help to beat it.  If your habits and personal views have undergone a radical transformation, you need to get help.  A common example of this is the very social person who now chooses to stay home and get high alone because he'd rather be high than see his sober friends.    If this sounds familiar (or if you used to be a home body but now cannot sit still), you should start looking for a drug addiction treatment program.

Non Christian addiction programs and Christian drug rehabs are a lot alike.  Both types of drug addiction recovery offer the following:

Both Christian and non Christian drug addiction programs are offered on both in-patient and out-patient bases.  The program chosen by the addict will depend on a number of factors including his schedule and his social support system.

Secular and Christian drug rehab programs place heavy emphasis upon therapy.  Patients in addiction treatment programs will get individual counseling as well as take part in group therapy sessions.

Christian drug rehab programs utilize the medical and therapeutic developments that are used in secular clinics but they offer more than therapy and abstinence to drug addicts.  A Christian drug addiction treatment program usually involves regular church attendance.  The drug addict will also take part in bible study classes and inspirational discussions.  A drug addict who chooses a Christian drug addiction recovery program will be taught about the teachings of Jesus Christ and be introduced to the work done by biblical scholars and philosophers.  He will learn how to find inspiration in the teachings of Christ and how to apply that inspiration to his own life to stop his drug seeking behaviors.  

Deciding upon a Christian drug rehab program can take some time and requires that a drug addict be very honest with himself.  He should not base the course of his drug addiction rehabilitation upon the person he hopes to become after he gets sober or the person he wishes he was before he began using drugs.  The drug addict needs to be honest about the person he really is and what he is most likely to respond to.  If he is shy, he will not fare well in a confrontational group setting.  If the drug addict thrives on conflict and is not afraid of confrontation, a group setting might be the most beneficial to his recovery.

Many people who have battled drug addiction insist that Christian drug rehab works even after other, non Christian drug addiction programs, have failed.  Why is this?  The most popular theory surrounding the success of Christian drug rehab addresses the accepting community that is fostered and developed in a Christian setting.  This community can easily be rebuilt in the "real" world by finding a local church to join and attending services on a regular basis.  This church community provides the drug addict with a source of positive pressure.  

Addicts who chose to participate in a Christian drug addiction rehab program are taught how to find strength and comfort in a Higher Power.  They are taught how to trade their drug addiction for an addiction to God and Jesus.  Comfort is always available to those who seek the Holy Spirit.  

One of the most important benefits offered by Christian drug rehab is the already mentioned positive pressured support system that is offered by a church and the people who attend it regularly.  This community helps the Drug addict surround himself with people who will help him stay sober when he feels weak.  The regular church attendance provides stability.  Christian drug rehab is the best option for people who want to overcome a drug addiction and stay sober.
