The Clinicians at our Florida Christian Alcohol Rehab understand the importance of God in the recovery process. The therapists do not however ignore the physical and mental aspects of the disease. Biblical Scripture is combined with the best medical practices, Christian Counseling, and behavioral therapies in the overall treatment of the alcohol addiction.
Many Alcoholics struggle with their religious belief system; unable to forgive themselves and unable to accept that God will forgive them either. The Christian Therapists at our Florida Christian Alcohol Rehab know that faith alone is not enough. When someone is suffering with medical complications, mental health issues and any combination of consequences as a result of their self abuse it takes dedicated professionals trained in addiction treatment to bring the patient to the point where belief can start to heal.
As patients at our Florida Christian Alcohol Rehab start the Christian Addiction Treatment through sound therapeutic practice, therapists can begin to incorporate faith based principals in their daily treatment regiment. Powerful examples from the Bible help patients identify with feeling of shame and guilt and begin to accept that God is always ready to forgive. Through this process the patient is developing the deeper relationship with God that is necessary for their ongoing recovery.
I recently met with over twenty pastors in the Jacksonville, Fl area. My propose was to inform them of the services offered by Our Florida Christian Rehab. Many of those that I met with agreed that rehab was necessary but were conflicted with the roll the drug rehab plays after the patient has been detoxed. These were men and women of God who believed once the drugs and alcohol were out of the patient all that person needs is God. They agreed with the medical aspect of the disease concept in the very early stages of the recovery process but then using becomes a sin and the addict must rely solely on God.
I am not a doctor nor am I as proficient in the scriptures as were the good people that were gracious enough to meet with me. I am a Christian who has been in recovery for nearly three decades. I agree with the importance of God in our recovery; my relationship with God is why I am still clean and sober today. The shame, guilt, anger and denial felt by addicts as they fearfully approach addiction treatment often disallows their belief in God. Our Florida Christian Rehab uses traditional treatment methods as they patiently lead the patient back to Christ or in some cases to Christ for the first time in their lives.
The difference between most drug rehab centers and our Florida Christian Rehab is the importance we place on faith in God. We look to our medical staff to safely detox the patient and to our clinical staff to patiently and respectfully treat those issues that have kept the patient locked in their addiction for years. As the toxic affect of the drugs begins to clear and the patient becomes more open to new ideas our Christian Therapists instill the importance of hope and faith on the patients journey in recovery.
