Christian Drug Rehab for New York City Residents

Like many other aspects of your life, your spirituality tends to take a back seat to your addiction. Often, we hear our clients tell us about how they felt as though they were not worthy of God’s love because they were in the throes of addiction.

The Legacy Healing Center team in South Florida is here to show you that your recovery is entirely possible. We help you understand addiction while providing you with tools that you can use to help maintain your sobriety. Additionally, we reinforce the fact that God loves all of your imperfections, and when you trust in Him, and with dedication, sobriety is achievable.

How Are Faith Based Rehabs Different?

First and foremost, you will take part in different types of therapy throughout the day. The two primary forms of treatment that you will experience are group therapy and individual therapy. Our group therapy sessions follow the format of a 12-step meeting. Once you are done with treatment, we strongly encourage you to find a local 12-step meeting because they play a critical part in your recovery. During these sessions, you will learn and speak about different aspects of addiction.

Individual therapy is just as important because it gives you a personal chance to speak to one of our counselors about what you are thinking and feeling as you progress in your program. Additionally, you can discuss personal issues that may have contributed to your addiction and how your faith can help you to maintain your sobriety once you return home.

What Does The Bible Say About Addiction?

The Bible is filled with words of caution and hope when it comes to the topic of addiction. One of the most prevalent Bible verses regarding addiction is ‘James 1:12-15’ which states, “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has been conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.”

his verse seemingly hits on every aspect of addiction. There are certain times where you may feel as though God should have done more to protect you from the pull toward addiction. This verse states that addiction is evil, and because it is evil, it is never something that God would take part in or tempt his followers toward. However, if you remain true to God and stay away from evil, you will be given all of the joys that God can provide to you.

Sober Friendly Attractions Near New York City

There is no shortage of sober friendly attractions in and around the New York City area that can help you feel closer to God. While we always encourage you to take the time and find local 12-step meetings in your area, we also recommend that you take the time to visit and explore these sites so that you can learn more about yourself and your growing spirituality.

St. Patrick’s Cathedral

Without question, St. Patrick’s Cathedral is the Catholic epicenter in New York City. This neo-gothic Cathedral was initially built in 1879, and since that time has been open to the faithful or people that are just interested in seeing the incredible architecture associated with the building. St. Patrick’s has daily mass throughout the day as well as regular times for confession. While there, you should take the time to explore the different statutes and religious artifacts that are proudly displayed throughout this incredible church.

St. Patrick’s Cathedral is located on 5th Avenue between 50th and 51st Street, New York, NY 10022.

Met Cloisters

If you love art and would like to see art that incorporates various religious influences, The Met Cloisters are a must-see attraction. The Cloisters are an extension of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This museum has a particular focus on European medieval art, which traditionally included different references to religion. One of its most popular attractions is “The Hunt of the Unicorn” tapestry, which is a metaphorical description of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

You can visit The Met Cloisters at 99 Margaret Corbin Drive, New York, NY 10040.

Trinity Church

Another famous religious venue in New York City is the Trinity Church. This church took center stage after the terror attacks on September 11th. Although the church sits directly across from the World Trade Center, it escaped significant damage. Trinity Church is an Episcopal church that has been in existence since the late 1600’s. Although it has been through many remodels, it still stands as a continuous sign of hope and faith for the thousands of people that visit it.

The Trinity Church is located at 75 Broadway, New York, NY 10006.
