Shattered…broken…lost…mentally devoid and unable to process emotions rationally. This is the state of mind of many drug and alcohol addicts. This slowly makes its way into the hearts and minds of their families as well.
Being unable to rationally know what the next step is, or who to trust is terrifying. The right Christian drug treatment center could be the answer for both addicts and their loved ones.
Drug and alcohol addiction has deep seeded roots such as childhood traumas, poverty, lack of employment, family dysfunction and even genetics. Each of these binds the addict and antagonizes the addiction. All of this needs to be addressed through Jesus Christ. When tackling these grave issues with faith, it treats both the addiction and the roots, or triggers of the addiction.
The actions and emotions that lead to addiction cannot simply be touched on the surface. They have to be faced, stripped of power and purged in order to experience the peace of sobriety. Jesus Christ provides the power to recover from addiction. Through Him, triggers are dissolved. Hurt, despair and anger transform into love and light.
The change must come from the inside and the necessity to make the change must be fully accepted by the patient, in order for results to be seen. These deep roots can only be cleansed when the spirit is touched by the power of the Christ.
In order to come out of the darkness of addiction, all parties (the patient and the family members) involved must first enter into an environment that fosters love, light and forgiveness. A Christian drug treatment center can help drug and alcohol addicts overcome addiction through faith in Jesus Christ. Help for the addict, as well as family members begins the minute the addict starts treatment.
In the midst of an addict’s behavior are never ending promises that they’ll stop the next day, pleas for money just one more time, or instances of stealing from loved ones in order to get their fix. Family and loved ones are stunned and defeated. The financial and emotional scars become so overwhelming it seems impossible to ever restore stability.
The sense of love and family unity is strangled because they have trouble moving past feelings of resentment and blame. This causes guilt, not just for the addict, but for family and loved ones too. It is through the Savior that atonement is accomplished. Through atonement, families and addicts are pieced back together.
Through the Savior, addicts learn to see their addiction as the source of separation between them and Jesus Christ. Once they realize this, it opens their eyes and they’re able to identify weaknesses that lead to addiction. At this point in the recovery process, Christian therapists are able to devise an individual plan to assist the addict and the family members. The use of open communication with other addicts, family members and therapists plays a central role in the recovery process within the Christian drug treatment center. Tools and techniques are shared, practiced and implemented so that in between group and therapy sessions, the addict is armed with tools that will help them mainstream back into society and reunite with family and loved ones.
Renaissance Recovery focuses on helping the entire family unit cleanse and heal the body, the mind and the spirit right along with the addict. Help for the entire family is part of the treatment process including classes, group therapy and 12 step family support groups. The crux of a Christian drug treatment center is the presence and atonement of Jesus Christ. If you or someone you know needs a new start, with new life tools, we can help.
