Why Christian Mens Drug Rehabs Have Grown Over Time

By Nancy Gardner


Addicts need to find the best type of care that will suit them. Christian mens drug rehabs have proven to be successful over time and a lot of people are turning to these in order to get back on track and start a new life. There is a lot of support, both during the time at the rehab as well ongoing. This is offered day and night and is always effective.

When one hears that an addict has been sent to a Christian based rehab, normally it does not go down too well. A lot of people seem to think that the traditional approach is more successful because it is more structured. However, these rehabs organize their program on the traditional approach. They follow a set program where there are trained therapists who specialize in this.

There is one on one therapy as well as group sessions which is very helpful to the addicts. The twenty one step program is usually followed and this is just the same as the traditional method. One does not just get though this with simple meditation, songs and bible readings. There is a lot more depth and structure that is involved.

Finding a group to participate in can be more than helpful because this is a way to share personal stories. Often Christians are ashamed to do this, but they realize now that they are all in the same boat. It is also a good way of finding connections and building long lasting relationships. Addicts learn to support one another during this time.

Therapists are Christian based and will guide their clients according to the word of God. Different rehabs vary in the way in which they operate. Some are more religious and some are more spiritual. Some only incorporate a fraction of the Christian faith. One must decide to what extent of this you are looking for.

Speakers will also be invited at times during the program and spend time with the addicts. They are normally people who have hit rock bottom at some point in their lives and are now doing something special with their lives. This will hopefully provide some inspiration.

Worship is also encouraged, which usually takes place at the end of the day along with a cup of tea or coffee and some social interaction. This provides one with relaxation before heading off for the night and preparing for the next day. Each day has something different planned on the program, which will give one some variety.

Addicts normally stay in the rehab, but they can also choose to stay at home and come in once a week. However, this is only for the few who are more in control of the situation. They will still need support day and night, but it is probably beneficial to follow the program with other addicts and find out how to cope in the most effective way possible.
