Christian Rehab - If You are Seeking Sobriety

Aug. 31, 2010 - PRLog -- God created man in his image to tread in His Shadow and follow a path of righteousness. Unfortunately man chose to deviate from this path and his digressions led to experience the euphoria of alcohol and drugs. So wrapped up was he in this exhilarating experience that he forgot his family, friends and his duty to society. He became a lost and lonely soul. Realization did dawn on him but by then he was too far gone to do anything about his addiction by himself. Cure is only through intervention and what better intervention could one hope for than divine intervention as Christian Rehabs promise?

In the olden days when individuals went to the confessionals with their drink or addiction problems they were advised to pray, pray and pray and maintain a strong will and trust in God. Christian rehabs have now refined the process of leading a person to a life of sobriety.

Conventional clinical methods of helping a person get over his addiction would involve a pharmacological approach where medicines are used for detoxification and to help handle withdrawal symptoms followed by some counseling and therapy. Set straight the individual is let loose in society without being fully capable of handling relapse issues and remaining sober throughout life. This is because the base issues remain untouched. The fact that a human is a thinking, feeling organism with needs and a soul that needs to be filled with the light of God which will guide him through life.

Christian rehabs focus on this issue: a man’s soul is more important and if it is right then he is in control of his life. At a Christian rehab you may expect to begin your day with morning prayers with a strong devotional thread running through your daily activities. Whichever way he turns he sees the love of God and Christ’s teaching in an observable manner.

He experiences, understands and accepts this spiritual ocean surrounding his senses. Through prayers, group meetings, church meetings and Christian community work he lives the love of God and feels it flowing through him and flowing into him through others. He loves. He forgives. He is compassionate and understanding. He is calm and serene. His soul is imbued with the strength and power of God and his faith is an unwavering, solid rocky foundation ready to weather any storms that may come through his life.

All this while in the background are therapies such as psycho therapy, nutrition therapy and physical therapies which help support the spiritual indoctrination and strengthen the individual as a whole. This is what Christian rehabs aptly do: make an individual a whole person so that remaining sober throughout life is a reality.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0siTASS0gI
