Faith Based Drug Rehab For Fort Pierce Residents

Faith Based Drug Rehab

Rehab programs that put an emphasis on religion are not a new way to treat an addiction. In fact, one of the first ways that addiction was successfully treated was through the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) program. AA’s focus has always been on the power that religion has in the process of healing from an addiction. Today, you can find a faith based drug rehab such as the programs that we offer at Legacy Healing Center.

Our faith based drug rehab uses religion and faith in a higher power to bring about profound healing and acceptance. Addicts that are religious often face additional challenges when in recovery because of the strained relationship that they have with God; they often feel like they’ve disappointed God through their abuse of drugs or alcohol. As such, healing them through faith and God’s teachings can help to repair their relationship with God and improve their recovery.

Legacy Healing Center’s faith based drug rehab in South Florida is not just limited to one faith; anyone who believes that they can benefit from spirituality or other religions in recovery can take advantage of the healing that such a program can offer.

Christian Drug Rehab

Christian drug rehab is not just about using faith as a means to heal from the problems of addiction; we still make use of the best in evidence-based treatments that are proven to be highly effective tools in addiction recovery.

Along with a focus on spirituality, we also provide all of the core parts of our treatment programs at our faith based drug rehab. To start, an addict that has just joined our program can expect to be a part of a medically-assisted detox. The withdrawal symptoms that are synonymous with drug and alcohol dependence can be easily handled in a safe manner in our medical detox program. We utilize the best-performing FDA-approved medications to help treat and manage the symptoms of withdrawal.

Our faith based drug rehab provides a place to have discussions with pastors and healthcare professionals alike, and many of our healthcare professionals will also incorporate religion in individual and group therapy where warranted. Some of the common evidence-based programs that we offer include cognitive-behavioral therapy, family therapy, process therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy.

Essentially, you are getting the best of both worlds; the power of faith-based healing and the evidence-based therapies and holistic healing approaches that are effective ways to beat an addiction. For this reason, people tend to greatly benefit from our faith based drug rehab.

Faith gives a person in recovery something to focus on, and even something to make their life about if they choose to. Whatever way that faith based rehab helps a person, it’s clear that there are many benefits of Christian drug rehab for those who wish to improve their relationship with God as part of their recovery process.

Our spiritual counselors will spearhead group meetings for those who are interested to restore their relationship with God, and to learn about what the bible can teach us about addiction. Christian advisors are always available if you’d like to talk to them about any matter that may be concerning you.

How Are Faith Based Rehabs Different?

It is known that, according to research such as by Baylor University, religion can help to reduce drug and alcohol abuse. A faith based rehab is ultimately different from a normal rehab program not by what it offers, but rather by what you get extra on top of what a standard rehab program offers you for addiction treatment.

One aspect that traditional rehab doesn’t fully explore and treat are the spiritual needs of patients in recovery. As such, a difference between faith based treatment and standard treatment is that Christian rehab provides more support spiritually, helping those afflicted by the disease of addiction to find solace in God, which can improve the overall healing process of recovery.

It is believed that the reason why many people turn to drugs or alcohol is because they are actually trying to fill a hole in their heart that can only truly be filled with the love of God. Seeking drugs or alcohol is in fact the desire to find God and to deepen your faith.

One of the key elements of AA is to understand that as an addict, you are powerless to control your substance abuse, and it is through a Higher Power that you can be guided to a full recovery. Letting go and allowing God to guide you can be a profound experience, and the reason why many recovering addicts have renewed their faith in recovery.
