Just because a doctor prescribes a medication, doesn’t mean you can’t become addicted. Our Christian Drug Rehab in Florida has seen an increase in admissions with patients addicted to Prescription Medication. Many of these patients denial is amplified by the fact that their drug of choice was prescribed by their doctor. Any medication or drug that is mood-altering can be addictive. Many of the patients use the medication for legitimate reasons and the use turns to abuse because of a low tolerance to pain. People start to increase the dosage or shorten the time between application to relieve symptoms and the end result is addiction.

 Patients with prescription addiction are admitted to our detoxification unit which is part of our Christian Drug Rehab. Our Physicians patiently explain the medical aspect of what happened to the patient and way the ended up in a drug rehab. Some of these addictions have a short history but some have persisted for years and our Christians Therapists help the patient work through the fallout of destruction present in life of any addict.

 While illegal drug use gets the most attention when people talk about drug addiction, it is easy to overlook the legal drugs that are used for recreation, which leads to addiction. Medicine cabinets all over America have become the source of drugs for young and old alike looking for a “free high”. Proper use of Rx meds and disposal of unused meds can reduce the risk of addiction. But when there is an addiction, please seek professional help at a Christian Drug Rehab.

            Twenty years ago I worked for a Drug Rehab that interviewed the whole family prior to admitting the patient. The message being conveyed was the entire family is adversely impacted by the addicts’ behavior even if the identified patient no longer lives with the family. That Treatment Center was ahead of its time with its strong focus on the family just as the Florida Christian Drug Rehab in Jacksonville leads the way today with their family program.

 The family therapist at our Florida Christian Drug Rehab has studied with Pia Mellody and John Bradshaw, leaders in the field and experts in co-dependency, conflict resolution and setting boundaries. Addiction Treatment is not complete without addressing resentments held as a result of growing up in a dysfunctional family.

 When a patient is admitted to our Florida Christian Drug Rehab the staff will make every effort to engage the family in our week long family program. The family actually comes into treatment with their loved one and participates in the clinical process. The goal is to repair or at lest have all involved accept existing issues and work towards resolution. If you are considering a Drug Rehab Center, come to one with a good family program.

  Christian Counselors working in Christian Alcohol Rehabs are given the opportunity to rebuild broken lives. Entering an addiction treatment center after years of alcohol addiction the patient is often a shell of their former self. Estranged from family and friends, lacking self esteem and void of any moral compass the patient is probably at the lowest point of their lives.

 Our Christian Alcohol Rehab will detox the patient and address any physical problems sustained through years of abuse and neglect. Patients will learn about the disease of addiction and how it has attacked them physically, mentally and spiritually. Our family program will strive to restore relationships and address specific issues currently affecting the family unit.

 The Christian Therapists address one of the most difficult challenges that a person may have to face in their lifetime. In our Christian Alcohol Rehab the alcoholic will have to face all the problems and feelings they have avoided in their addiction for years. Christian Alcohol Counseling will provide a profound change through the process of individual and group therapy. The cathartic effect that takes place in the counseling sessions releases the patient from the shame and guilt that has bound them in their addiction.
