Christian Drug Treatment Has A Higher Rate Of Success

Addicts Find Hope in Christian Rehab

Drug addiction has the potential to destroy lives, but there is hope when one decides to choose a Christian drug treatment to rebuild one’s life. Christian drug treatment is able to provide drug addicts with the tools necessary to restore their physical and emotional health as well as their spiritual well being. This is why Christian drug treatment has a higher rate of success that traditional, secular drug treatment programs.

Many people struggling with an addiction and who find themselves at  treatment centers have never been an active participant in a faith community. Many have not explored their spiritual relationship or declared that Christ is their Savior. Christian drug treatment has the unique ability to show addicts that Christ died for their sins, and that there is forgiveness and grace along with Christ’s love. Christian rehab centers offer drug addicts chances to strengthen their faith while actively working on strengthening their physical well-being. An addiction to drugs damages the body, but Christian treatment offers a unique Biblical perspective that encourages taking charge of one’s health.

The Bible says, in 1 Corinthians 6:20, "You were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body."

Recovering addicts at a Christian rehab center have the chance to participate in yoga, meditation, tai chi, and massage – all designed to help restore physical and emotional peace.  Prayer is encouraged for the strength that can be found only in God.  When you add in the extra benefit of daily Bible study and prayer groups, addicts in Christian treatment are intensely focusing on making their journey to sobriety a positive one.
