Christian Rehab Centers - Using The Power Of God To Break The Chains Of Addiction

Addiction is a lonely, isolating disease, but thankfully Christian rehab centers are using the power of God to help people break the tight chains of addiction. People are discovering in increasing numbers that Christian rehab helps heal wounded hearts and rebuilds one’s physical, emotional and spiritual health.

Through daily Bible study and prayer groups, Christian rehab centers, like The Treatment Center, encourage addicts in recovery to explore their spirituality and develop a faith relationship with God and Jesus Christ that will steer them through every step of the healing process. Recovery from an addiction to drugs and alcohol will take time, determination and commitment, but the rewards will be greater than anyone can imagine.

Faith is a powerful catalyst for people to improve their outlook on life. Addicts in Christian rehab centers use the Bible as their guidebook, and learn how faith can lead them to a brighter future. The Bible says, in Romans 10:17, "Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ."

Many people who choose Christian rehab have never been part of a faith community or heard much of God's word on a regular basis. Reading the Bible is a new and novel experience for many addicts in Christian rehab centers.  With the guidance of pastors and teachers they come to love reading Scripture.  The goal is to create a thirst for more understanding of the Word.

Christian rehab centers understand that faith is often misunderstood by the secular treatment community.  As a result faith based addiction treatment is quickly becoming a popular alternative for addiction recovery. There is hope for healing when faith is on your side.
