Drug and Alcohol Rehab for Christians
Lakeview Health Systems Introduces: A New Life
Lakeview Health Systems, nationally accredited drug and alcohol abuse/addiction treatment center announces the addition of: A New Life, Christ-centered drug and alcohol rehab program. Lakeview Health Systems’ representatives approached Stephen Arterburn, founder and chairman of New Life Ministries and host of the nationally syndicated “New Life Live!” daily radio program, to be a part of this joint venture. Together with Arteburn, Lakeview sought to make a positive impact for those in the Christian community wrestling with addiction.
The result of this is A New Life, Christian drug rehab which provides holistic addiction treatment for the body, mind and spirit built on a foundation similar to traditional 12-step programs. The difference in this particular program is Christ as the focal point for patients establishing and maintaining addiction recovery. This Christ-centered program adds nightly bible studies, church attendance, prayer meetings, 12-Steps Through Christ meetings, and pastoral counseling to the traditional comprehensive state-of-the-art clinical and therapeutic services, and aftercare planning found in other Lakeview Health Systems drug and alcohol rehab programs. Jonathan Huttner, one of the founders of Lakeview Health Systems, said: “While Lakeview has achieved national recognition providing superior clinical and professional practices in the field of drug addiction treatment, alcohol rehabilitation and dual diagnosis treatment, A New Life has even more to offer Christians who claim Christ as the foundation for life and recovery. In this program, patients can draw upon Christ as a source of inspiration and strength as they work towards addiction recovery. It differs in this way from the traditional treatment program in that it names Christ as their higher power rather an unnamed higher power.” For additional information on this program please visit:
