Christian Drug Rehab and Alcohol Rehabilitation

If you have a loved one suffering from drug or alcohol abuse, it is important to accept that their problems are not primarily mental, disciplinary or free will issues. The complex problems facing addicts, alcoholics, and their families are miserable, discouraging and infuriating. The fact is precisely that addicts truly cannot change in the long run even if they want to.

Addictions create a chemical dependency and, even with the best intentions, cannot be stopped by free will. To think that an addict "could change if he wanted to" is a serious misunderstanding of the unique dynamic of addictive disorder. That is the definition of addiction: "the loss of control over the use of a substance."

For many whom risk the idea that a "faith component" may make the difference, a visit to a Christian Drug Rehabilitation program may prove that recovery is indeed achievable when spiritual principles are carefully applied.  The problem an alcoholic or drug addict faces is not the behavioral aspect of the habit itself, but a problem having to do with power. One must ultimately come to the place where they admit that they are powerless over substance abuse and that their life has become unmanageable (Step 1, The 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous).

The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous proposes a spiritual approach often termed a Traditional Track of spirituality in a treatment context.  Many Christian Drug Rehab programs offer a Christian Track that parallels a Traditional Track and anchors the recovery principles in the biblical platform upon which they were developed.

Today, millions of lives are claiming freedom from alcohol and drugs as a result of applying these steps. There is little doubt that a deep and personal relationship with a loving, all-powerful God is the key healing ingredient needed to restore suffering addicts.

A menu of comprehensive treatment programs are offered by Christ-centered treatment facilities; a primary program of approximately 28 days, a day program, an IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program), a transitional (step-down) program and often a long-term sober living program. Christian Alcohol Rehabilitation programs offer spiritual support with specific curriculum and a staff of spiritual advisors and pastors.

Pacific Hills Treatment Centers, Inc. draws clients and their families from California and virtually every state across the country. We are known as a premier Christian Alcohol Rehab facility that offers both the traditional spirituality track based on the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and a Christ-centered program for those who embrace the scriptures and Christ as their Higher Power.

Christian Drug Rehab and Alcohol Rehabilitation

For the problem drinker, abstaining from drinking, though a critical component, does not in itself constitute true sobriety. In fact, abstinence may have little effect on the symptoms; the insanity, the defects of character and the shortcomings that accompany chronic drug and alcohol addiction. A truly sober alcoholic is someone who is addicted to alcohol but who is actively transforming in every aspect of their person. Recovering individuals are in the process of experiencing all types of changes; emotional, spiritual and social in addition to many required behavioral changes. Many find the ability to experience transforming empowerment by attending a Christian Drug Rehabilitation center.

Alcoholism is a complicated, complex disease that slowly destroys the mind, the will, the body, spirit and all relationships surrounding those addicted. Underlying the disease is a "soul sickness". In order to recover, the afflicted addict must experience strong spiritual support and recovery in order to find a Power greater than themselves who can do for them that which they cannot do for themselves.

While traditional Alcoholics Anonymous spirituality helps commence the addict's spiritual journey, Christian Drug Rehab programs present the powerful 12 Steps as they are outlined in the biblical scriptures from which they originate. Here, the addict is offered the Power to replace "stinking thinking" with more grace-filled and biblical truth. Toxic forms of faith must fall away and be replaced with Grace-based truth.

At our quality Christian Alcohol Rehabilitation programs, each client's case will be approached with sensitivity and care. After the completion of our primary treatment program, follow-up programs such as transitional care and sober living programs may be offered to help assure long-term sobriety.

Pacific Hills Treatment Centers, Inc. is a premier Christian treatment program where Christian Alcohol Rehab is the centerpiece of our service. A professional and certified staff includes psychologists, psychiatrists, medical staff, case managers and recovery pastors.

Christian Drug Rehab and Alcohol Rehabilitation

75 years ago, two hopeless drunks in Akron, Ohio (not a couple of respectable theologians at a seminary) began a lay-driven fellowship that has ushered millions of chronic alcoholics and drug addicts to new lives of freedom, health and serenity. While statistics suggest that addiction rates within the walls of the church correspond to those in the general public, the reality of quality Christian Drug Rehabilitation treatment has come to the attention of people of faith.

Leading Christian recovery expert, Dr. Dale Ryan comments, "I think God had a pretty good idea when he saw the floundering organization take root years ago. If the problems stemming from addictive behavior were just the result of bad theology, then maybe a couple of theologians would have been a better choice."

But the problem, for most of us who are recovering alcoholics, is not just "in our heads." It is often said in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous that The Twelve Steps are not the Twelve Ideas or the Twelve Concepts. They are not twelve suggested things to do. If addicts and alcoholics were merely to affirm as true all of the ideas found in the Twelve Steps, they would probably be no closer to sobriety than from the beginning. Recovery is not made possible simply by "getting things straight in our heads".

The problem of substance abuse has much more do with it than proper thinking, stronger morals or pristine behavior. Alcohol and drug addiction is a complex, bio-psycho-social-spiritual disease and must be addressed accordingly in order to halt its destructive pattern. Christian Alcohol Rehab seeks to address these human complexities through a comprehensive treatment program.

Spiritual in nature, substance abuse recovery must be constructed on a spiritual platform. The simple spiritual principles outlined in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous offer a pathway to spiritual healing. To this, a Christian Drug Rehab programs offer a parallel curriculum that builds a foundation based on the 12 Steps as rooted in the scriptures.

Intervention, detox, spiritual counseling and comprehensive treatment therapies are offered to stabilize the patient and establish for them a proven plan for recovery and relapse-prevention. At Pacific Hills Treatment Centers, an accredited, professional treatment team awaits those seeking quality, compassionate care and direction.

Addiction is classified as a disease due to the fact that it meets the criteria of all other terminal diseases;

- It has pattern of symptoms which are similar across all types of substance abuse,

- It is a chronic condition. It doesn't go away,

- The person is subject to relapse,

- It is progressive. Addiction only gets worse with continued use, and ends with death.

However, there is good news. While substance addiction is a terminal illness, the progression of the disease can be arrested at almost any stage and can be put into remission indefinitely. A specific, proven program must be adhered to faithfully in order to fully accomplish this. At Pacific Hills Christian Rehabilitation facility, those seeking treatment are given qualified medical advice through both a preliminary phone assessment and a personal examination by medical professionals upon entering treatment.

Alcoholics Anonymous and the Twelve Step program are best known for leading millions of people seeking recovery from their addictions.  Their collection of spiritual disciplines is found in the Big Book. Co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, Dr. Bob said AA's basic underlying spiritual philosophy came from the Bible; specifically from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. When asked difficult questions about recovery, Dr. Bob's usual response was. "What does it say in the Good Book?" He added, "To some of us older ones, the parts we found absolutely essential were the Sermon on the Mount, the 13th chapter of First Corinthians, and the Book of James."
