Christian Drug Treatment Centers Are an Addict's Best Option

March 23, 2009 - PRLog -- Christian Drug Treatment Center

Christian drug treatment center patients insist that the classes and inspiration they get from Christianity based teachings offer them a better chance at sobriety than anything they had found previously in other, non-Christian based addiction recovery programs.  Many drug addicts swear that their road to sobriety was smoothed greatly by allowing the teachings of Jesus Christ and other biblical scholars to resonate within them.  Why is this true?  Why is a Christian drug treatment center better than programs that are secular in nature?  The best way to understand this is to look at both methods of recovery side by side.


The first question to ask is this: when should you seek help from a Christian drug treatment center?  Addicts have a hard time admitting their addictions.  Convincing someone that his or her addiction has taken control is nearly impossible.  An addict's denial is strong.  If any of the following is true, it is time to get help:

1.  Do you (or does someone you know) choose not to engage in social activities because you are afraid that you will not be allowed to drink or get wasted?  Do you choose to stay home because you would rather be high than sober?  If you do, you need a Christian drug treatment center.


2.  Have you (or someone that you know) lost the ability to stop using?  If you find that you cannot stop drinking once you have started or if you cannot stop after using just a little bit of your drug of choice and, instead, keep ingesting until the entire drug is gone, it is time to seek help.  This is doubly true if you look back at the end of a day and realize that, though you cannot remember using the entire drug, it is now gone.  


3.  Do you (or does someone you know) try to hide your drug or alcohol abuse from the people that you care about?  Do you cover your addiction with lies?  If you find yourself actively hiding your drug habit from the people you care about you have already begun to realize that your addiction is wrong and that you need help.


Christian drug treatment centers are not the only types of drug addiction treatment centers out there.  There are a variety of recovery methods that can be used both in and out of a Christian addiction recovery program.  Here are two of the most popular types of drug addiction recovery approaches that are used in drug addiction treatment centers all over the country.


1.  Relapse Prevention:  relapse prevention is a type of drug addiction recovery philosophy that was originally intended for alcoholics but it has also been proven useful for recovering from other types of drug addiction.  This method of drug addiction recovery teaches a person recovering from a drug addiction how to use new healthy habits to replace the older dangerous habits that kept them abusing drugs.


2.  Supportive-Expressive:  Christian drug treatment centers get a lot of use out of the supportive-expressive method of drug addiction recovery.  This type of drug addiction recovery involves the setting up of a safe and welcoming environment.  The environment is meant to be supportive and to help the drug addict feel comfortable talking through his addiction and opening up to others while he works to get sober.  Christian drug addiction recovery usually incorporates this method automatically.  


How do you know which Christian drug treatment center will work best for you?  Deciding upon a drug addiction treatment center can be difficult.  Each drug addict is different and what worked for your friend might not work for you.  It is important that you choose an addiction recovery program that will work well with who you are.  Are you better suited to group situations or one on one appointments?  Are you better suited to a confrontational approach or do you need a comforting environment?  Do you enjoy the company of others or do you prefer to be alone?


The truth is that most former drug addicts insist that a Christian drug treatment center is better than one that is not based on faith.  This is largely due to the fact that a Christian drug addiction treatment program gives the drug addict a comfortable and welcoming environment in which to get sober.  The community that is created at a Christian drug addiction recovery center is filled with other people who are going through or who have already gone through the addiction recovery process and, most of the time, they have a shared belief system.  When you supplement this environment with bible study classes and regular church attendance, a drug addict has more than a fighting chance at achieving sobriety.  


Your Christian drug treatment center will teach you how to understand that you are not alone as you work to get over your drug addiction.  Inspirational teachings, bible study sessions, regular church attendance and a supportive environment will give you the support you need to get over your addiction to drugs or alcohol and to remain sober when you check out of the drug addiction center.  A recovering addict or alcoholic can easily re-create the supportive environment he found in rehab by joining his neighborhood church.  The truth is simple:  A drug addict has a greater chance of getting and staying sober when he chooses a Christian drug treatment center to help him get sober.
