Testimonials

"First a big thank you to you and your staff at the Christian rehab. It saved my husband's life and has ended up bringing our entire family closer together. It proved more difficult than I ever could have imagined to find a Christian rehab. It seemed so many other rehabs said they were Christ centered, but upon further investigation, it was just a marketing scheme. I m happy to say your rehab restored my husband's faith along with blessing him with his sobriety."
Ann B., Cleveland, Ohio

"I am now sober for eight months and active in church again. Who would ever have thought I could do it. I was so scared, but you made my detox comfortable, could always have used more medication though, just a joke. I am attending Christian counseling two times a week and it really helps. Again thanks, taking it one day at a time!"
Brad C., Jacksonville, Florida

"My son's life was a mess. He had been arrested twice for DUI's and was only getting worse each and every day. If it wasn't for your treatment center, I can't imagine where he would have ended up. I would recommend your Christian rehab, as he calls it, to anyone."
Beverly W., Omaha, Nebraska

"A Christian drug rehab, who would have thought I would have ever ended up there. Although when I took a look at my college studies it was clear I majored in opiates and alcohol. As you can tell, I have regained my sense of humor, am back in school and have put together six months of continued sobriety. I just wanted to say thanks."
George H., Knoxville, Tennessee

Depression Treatment

Less than half of those who suffer from depression actually seek professional depression treatment. Many people who require treatment instead turn to alcohol or drugs in an attempt to mask the symptoms of their depression. This type of self-medicating is why so many cases of depression are in reality dual diagnosis situations. A dual diagnosis is when the sufferer is living with both an addiction and a mental health issue, in this case, depression.

At Lakeview's A New Life Recovery Center, we offer state-of-the-art treatment techniques that are designed to promote wellness with a strong concentration on the teachings of the Bible. This type of duality in treatment philosophies is found to better enable patients to experience long-term recovery from their addiction and greater management of their mental health disorder.

Christian Depression Treatment Philosophy

Christian depression treatment is theoretically no different than depression treatment for anyone else with one exception: Christian depression counseling is intended to encourage a basic belief in Jesus Christ as the main focus of recovery support. Christ is the higher power and focal point in Christian depression counseling that helps individuals to avoid abusing drugs and alcohol and rather find safe and healthy means to recover from depression.

Depression Treatment through Medication and Counseling

Depression treatment works best when it incorporates a combination of medication therapy and traditional psychotherapy. For this reason, Lakeview's A New Life Recovery Center has a board-certified psychiatrist and a professional clinical staff capable of providing simultaneous treatment for the depression and addiction alike.

Depression treatment for Christians is provided with the body, mind and spirit in mind. Segments of depression treatment are nutritional, recreational and spiritual in nature and at A New Life; these holistic services are offered in addition to the study of scripture, prayer, church and pastoral counseling.

If you or someone you love is suffering from both an addiction and depression, treatment should be sought immediately. Each of these conditions feeds the other and if treatment is not provided, the health and wellness of the sufferer will only worsen. Whether you are a Christian or not, you can call our 24-hour, toll-free helpline for support at 1-800-673-1905. Depression treatment works and it can work for you.
