Get Out of Substance Dependency With Christian Rehab

Aug. 29, 2010 - PRLog -- Different types of addiction treatments are there; recently a lot of research work has been done all over the world to find out how drug addicted people can get rid of the habit. Medication, therapy, psychological treatment, psychoanalysis, psychiatric therapy and treatment, detoxification, etc. are some methods to treat an alcoholic who is excessively dependent on alcohol. Christian rehab treatment is an effective and unique process to help an addict do away with substance dependency completely and restart a normal life once again. These centers treat people with drug and alcohol addiction; abstinence, physical problems associated with abstinence, psychological counseling and therapy using spiritual approach.

Life of a drug or alcohol addict is painful – they cannot live without it and they want to get rid of the habit but they cannot find a route to come out of it. People, who have realized the bad effects of the substances and are willing to get out of it, can go to a treatment center to know their options. The addicts can lead a normal life, just as other human beings, after treatment and counseling. Depending on intoxicants is not a good way to live life – many people do this just to forget their pains, failures or problems. They fail to understand that an intoxicant cannot solve the problem. Christian rehab programs can actually help them realize the root cause of the problem and make them strong from within. Once the problem is realized, finding a way is too easy.

These centers apply the solutions mentioned in bible to solve the problems. They take up a unique approach towards substance dependency – faith in bible, faith in god and love are the three main pillars for this treatment. By reading out paragraphs and inspirational quotations from bible and other books to a group of patients, by taking them through confession, and by applying holistic treatment methods they remove the mental block of the patients. To treat the physical effects of abstinence, the centers may prescribe some medicines as well.

It is said that substance dependency is the outcome of a deeper problem, the illness lies somewhere else. Mental problem, emotions, depression, personal matters etc. often push a person towards addiction. And, no medicine can treat such illness – only mental therapy that can help the patients change their thought process can solve their problems. They are made to realize by renewed faith in God that life is meant to live with courage and not to escape from the truth. Christian rehab programs aim at making the addict have a self realization of doing wrong to himself and his loved ones. The moment he understands this, he is recovered from addiction.

At the end of the spiritual or faith-based rehabilitation program, the patient becomes a transformed individual one who is content, patient and strong. He becomes more inclined towards religion and draws constant inspiration and courage to live a sober life.
