ChristiaNet.com (http://www.christianet.com), the world's largest Christian portal with twelve million monthly page loads, has just launched a directory of health related articles that include information about chemical dependency and Christian drug treatment centers. "Because we are a Christian agency, we want to guide people in receiving help that will address both the physical and spiritual aspects of a person," says ChristiaNet's President, Bill Cooper. "Our articles have information about Christian drug treatment centers and how to select a center that is appropriate for the person addressing various types of addictions."

Experts in the drug treatment field recognize that faith plays a effective role in dependency recover. The Faith Initiative, a program created by President George Bush, is federal program that supports faith-based programs which address social issues, including drug abuse and addictions. The official website for the Faith Based Initiative quotes President Bush who is quoting Pastor Tony Evans, "When a fellow had a house, he got a crack on the wall. And he went out and got a painter or a plasterer, and the fellow came and covered it up. And two weeks later, the crack reappeared... And he finally got a wise painter who said, sir, you'll never fix the crack until you fix the foundation."
"In researching information about chemical dependency, we found that successfully overcoming addictions requires addressing more than human will power," explains Cooper. "While secular and Christian counseling both want to help people overcome problems, the Christian approach to treating dependency focuses on finding joy in life, becoming a person with a greater perspective of why we are created." Christian Drug Treatment centers, as a rule, will use the Bible as a guide in directing people to find their life's purpose. Most counselors working in treatment centers, both residential and non-residential, have graduate degrees, appropriate licensing, and more than adequate experience in working with the chemically dependent patient.
Cooper also stressed the importance of finding reputable treatment centers to work with. "Those struggling with chemical dependency issues will want to take time to investigate Christian treatment centers options. Christian centers offering services for chemical dependency should hold high standards of Biblical fidelity, ethical integrity, and offer an excellent level of clinical experience."
