Christian drug alcohol recovery and rehabiltiation
Arron Whala from Fresno, CA knows what loss is and turned to The Drug Alternative Program to get his life back.
"I was married at the age of 17 and began my career in Air Conditioning." Arron says. "I was introduced to the Seventh-day Adventist Church by co-workers, and my wife and I became members. Three years later we divorced and I turned away from Jesus to drugs. After five years of misery, I cried out to God and he set me free. However, I never felt secure. I held on to my guilt and shame and always felt the need to fix my sins to honor God. In 2004,I relapsed again. Nine months ago God brought me here to DAP. Today I confess my sins, turn my heart to Jesus, and He removes them from me. Through baptism, I publicly committed my life to Him and I will follow His commands".
Arron continues: "I am thankful for a Christian wife who is patient and devoted to me. We have started rebuilding our marriage relationship. I look forward to returning home to my family and continuing my career in Air Conditioning. I will also give back to DAP by serving others who are struggling with drug and sex addiction. Friend, thank you for your prayers and support of DAP. Through DAP, God has saved my life."
The Drug Alternative Program founded in 1987 by Cliff and Freddie Harris is a well-rounded, Christian based drug rehabilitation program.
DAP has been helping men break free from drug addiction and other life controlling problems. The twelve to eighteen month long in patient program is safe, structured and drug-free environment for men eighteen to sixty-four years of age.
Clients begin their program in one of two recovery homes operated by DAP in Grand Terrace California. DAP also operates a transition home for graduates of the program who need help redefining their place as a productive member of society.
Life in the homes is structured in a manner that promotes responsibility, good work ethic, teamwork and daily devotion to Jesus Christ. The DAP day starts at five-thirty AM with healthy meals prepared by the men.
Upkeep is a responsibility that is shared by all the men who live in each of the three homes. Following their daily duties, the men share a morning devotional led by co-founder Freddie Harris. Daily Devotion is a key component of the road to recovery for those enrolled in the DAP program.
Many have been amazed by the high rate of success of DAP. Faith based treatment programs like DAP have a sixty to eighty percent success rate. Compared to only about a ten percent success rate for traditional rehabilitation programs.
While most drug rehabilitation programs depend fully on outside financial resources to operate, DAP looks to innovative self-reliance. DAP operates a professional lawn and landscaping service that serves the local and surrounding communities.
The lawn business pays for half of the recovery expenses for these guys. So theyre helping to pay for their recovery which, you know, the families appreciate says Freddie Harris, Co-Founder of the Drug Alternative Program
The program helps to instill a good work ethic among the men and help them back to a life of daily responsibility, pride and leadership.
As addicts we cannot have any idle time and thats why the program has to be structured so that at the end of the day, theyre ready to go to bed says Cliff Harris, Co-Founder of The Drug Alternative Program.
When clients have completed the twelve to eighteen month program, they graduate into a spiritually renewed drug-free life. This physical and spiritual re-birth is indeed a cause for celebration. Today, DAP is adding an outreach ministry to their recovery program. With 21 years of practical experience, DAP wants to serve as a resource for pastors, key church and community leaders, educators, professionals, high school and college students, and families who feel the impact of substance abuse.
