Christian Based Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment

What is Christian based drug and alcohol addiction treatment?

There are many approaches to drug and alcohol treatment. Christian based drug and alcohol addiction programs have been developed for those of the Christian faith who want religion to help define their treatment modality,

Some of these rely solely upon the use of the bible, while others incorporate medical based therapy, behavioral therapies, drug and alcohol addiction education, relapse prevention led by therapists who help patients make the connection between the teachings of Christ, the role of spirituality as the foundation for recovery and the bible.

A quality Christian program should contain the same core elements present in other medically, evidenced- based drug and alcohol treatment programs. The more comprehensive the program the better the chances are for solid recovery. Many of these programs use best practices that also include 12 Step programs, such as AA and NA, as well as aftercare plans in addition to the treatment modalities mentioned above.

Many Christian programs use specially designed Christian recovery workbooks and Christian recovery bibles that provide a Christian frame work for recovery. The therapists are Christians with a strong belief in the teachings of Jesus and the connection to recovery principles. However, the staff should also be professionally trained to provide medical treatment and use proven addiction counseling modalities.
