Christian Rehab & Divine Recovery

Sept. 13, 2010 - PRLog -- Christian rehab centers are widely known for the holistic services they provide. The aim is to reach out to the body, spirit and soul of the recovering individual by offering them an atmosphere where the healing power of God brings about reconciliation with the Supreme Being, the addict as well as aids their interaction with the rest in the society.

Christian rehab also takes place in the form of discipleship programs where the addicts are addicted to or are struggling with drugs and alcohol. The rehab center is a time-bound process of recovery which starts with commitment. The patients are required to take responsibility of their recovery and support themselves for bringing about a lifestyle change.

Based on the Biblical teachings of the Christ, Christian rehab centers follow an orientation approach which helps the individual to develop their relationship with God so as to understand the process of recovery better. Orientation classes and trainings are undertaken to help the patients outline their aims and achievable objectives.

Regeneration is taken up with the help of Biblical teachings, counseling sessions, classroom teaching and group discussions for addressing the mental, physical and spiritual issues which entail addiction. With the help of the above mentioned methods, inner healing is accomplished which allows the patient to focus on forgiveness with the example of the Crucifixion of Christ.

Patients are required to take their focus off the past and walk in the path of God. The work ethic is also faith based and even allows the addict to practice effective professional and relational skills in a Christian ambiance. The recovering individual should be able to find strength in the Higher Power and derive inspiration from the Lord. This is because people usually have the feeling that they are lonely and abandoned in the world. Loneliness makes it difficult for them to stay without addiction for a long time.

Christian rehabilitation approaches tell the addict that someone out there is always ready to help them. The people should be able to seek the help of God and find inspiration and solace in the teachings of the Christ. They are also taught that they are not alone in the struggle towards recovery and that Jesus is always with them. The addict gets to understand that they are not the only ones who need help and that help is required by people from various backgrounds too. This way, they feel connected to the communities around them which contribute to sobriety after the phase of Christian treatment is over.

The difference with medical approaches and Christian treatment is that the latter stays with the patient even after the patient has left the Christian treatment or recovery center. It works in areas where traditional approaches have failed. The method of treatment is something that has to be imbibed by the patient who should feel and experience the conditions, and cannot be explained in mere words. Programs incorporate regular church activities, Bible studies, lessons, prayer meetings, and lessons from the teachings of Christ. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ih4NAGLnPQM
