"All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is
true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It
straightens us out and teaches us to do what
is right. It is God's way of preparing us in every way . . ." (II
Timothy 3:16-17)
The Christian historic belief is that Scripture is authoritative and
complete and contains all the principles necessary to live life in
Christ and fully as a human being. We at Pacific Hills operate under
the conviction that the inspired Word of God must be our foundational
source and inspiration in the professional counseling, treatment and
rehabilitation process.
Above all, we believe that love and compassion should be at the heart
of a Biblically based ministry (I Corinthians, 13). Accordingly, we
are committed to work with our clients in the spirit of tolerance (in
the truest sense of the word) and reverence for each person's worth
and dignity--beginning with where they are at the point we first meet.
The writers of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, with these same
motivations, make it clear that the addict's problem is a spiritual
sickness that only a "spiritual awakening" can remedy. In its
simplicity, it calls the hurting ones to three pertinent and basic
truths about themselves: (1) that they are alcoholic and cannot
manage their own lives; (2) that no human power can relieve their
alcoholism; and (3) that God can and will if He is sought. Despite the
reports of some individuals who have experienced prejudice and abuse
in the culture of Alcoholic Anonymous, the early history and the
principles outlined in the Big Book of AA are squarely rooted in
Biblical truth.
We are called to deal with a bio-psycho-social-spiritual disease. Its
treatment must be comprehensive and aggressive. We know that left
untreated, most die. Our Christian professional staff brings to our
unique program the best of psychiatric, psychological, medical,
behavioral, pastoral and theological training and experience in order
to address substance abuse and the wreckage it brings to suffering
human beings. Our goal is to actively stand alongside the walking
wounded in the healing process, encouraging hope and renewal to their
body, mind, soul, spirit and relationships.
Pacific Hills and Recovery Options exist to serve the chemically
dependent and their families in the context of the local church
ministry. We prefer doing so by bringing resource, education and
expertise to the local church pastor, counselor and therapist. When a
residential program is needed, we seek to involve the church and
counselor in the treatment process--with the intent to ultimately
restore them to their community of faith.

"You
are always in a place where someone is there no matter what you are
going through…. and you can feel safe. I think when you
are removed from your environment and you don’t have to deal with
going to work, cooking and taking care of the kids, answering the
phone and paying the bills…. all the things from everyday life, you
can focus just on you…. and you can completely break down…. I always
tell people that its not falling apart, it’s falling together.”
