ALCOHOL TREATMENT

Daily alcohol use, though viewed as harmless initially, can ultimately have devastating effects on one's life. Alcohol abuse affects the body, emotions, mind, and, in the end, all relationships in the life of those addicted. Worse, alcohol addiction causes the individual to lose their spiritual faculty. The treatment program at Pacific Hills specifically addresses this problem.

For the family, it is important to recognize the fact that your loved one has probably lost contact with their Higher Power. In most cases, the suffering abuser needs professional guidance, spiritual counseling and support from other people. A Christian alcohol rehabilitation program such as Pacific Hills provides these essentials for the drug dependent.

A little known fact is that the traditional 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, as found in their Big Book, are based on the writings and principles from scripture. The first step states' "We admitted we were powerless over alcohol, that our lives had become unmanageable". Again, the old and new testament scriptures are the foundation of an authentic Christian based drug rehab program.

The Christian Track at Pacific Hills allows the recovering person to discover those principles, naming the God of the Bible their Higher Power. Their addictions are addressed in a Christian based drug rehab using the compassion and love of Christ as modeled in the scriptures. The healing process begins by admitting that we are not in charge of our lives, and that a Higher Power, "Christ" offers freedom from our addictions.

While substance abuse is a terminal illness, the progression of the addiction can be interrupted and placed in remission indefinitely - but only when a proven program is adhered to diligently by the recovering individual.
