| Addictive diseases such as alcoholism and drug abuse are like time-bombs going off in a room; everyone is hit with flying fragments of the addiction bomb. Not a “victimless crime”, substance abuse gradually destroys everything and everybody in its wake. Spiritual in nature, substance abuse can be put into check in a quality Christian Drug Treatment program.
Drug addiction is a complex, bio-psycho-social-spiritual disease, and as such, must be treated accordingly. A quality treatment approach will administer medical, psychological, social, emotional, relational and spiritual support. Most treatment centers offer a “Traditional Track” of spirituality based on the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. Complementing this track, Christian Drug Treatment programs offer a “Christian Track” that sets forth the principles as rooted in the scriptures, affirming Christ as the Higher Power. Clients are urged to select a track that is most accommodating to their current faith needs and circumstances.
In his last talk, Dr. Bob said, “When we started in on Bill D. [Bill Dotson was A.A. Number Three], we had no Twelve Steps either; we had no Traditions. But we were convinced that the answer to our problems was in the Good Book. . . . It wasn’t until 1938 that the teachings and efforts and studies that had been going on were crystallized in the form of the Twelve Steps.” Many Christian Drug Treatment programs construct their curriculum on the early traditions and findings of AA and tie the principles to the Sermon on the Mount, the book of James and many other scriptural sources.
Christian based treatment provides the comprehensive approach that produces quality results in most cases where the patient applies themselves to the instruction. Christian Drug Treatment programs help one recognize that their spiritual welfare has been weakened and has resulted in problems in most every other aspect of life. Hope, recovery and sanity are available today for those willing to take the simple steps. More importantly, faith can be restored and along with it the Power to do for the addict that which they cannot do for themselves.
