Christian rehabilitation processes are resorted to in order to assuage the addictive spirit in men. This is one form of treatment that ensures long term sobriety. Patients at the Christian rehab centers are provided with a curriculum or program for sobriety which includes personalized treatment, and helpful steps such as the following: Participation in individual process groups and step studies for counseling Bible study, devotion, workbook activities Recovery and worship services Drug and alcohol education Counseling sessions for relapse prevention Spiritual guidance Family counseling and education Work and recreational activities Open meets with Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous Meetings where the survivor shares his experiences with others Church services The recovery schedule includes 12 step programs as well as the 8 recovery principles that are mentioned in the Bible. The principles are ideally suited to those who are familiar with the Scriptures, and are helpful for men who are recovering from drug and alcoholic addiction. The persons or recovering individuals are welcomed to introduce the healing power of God in their lives. Counselors and participants in the Christian rehab programs encourage people to share their recovery experience and how they were helped by hope and strength with the new members of the rehab center. The process of learning in these Christian programs is through self-education and sobriety and once this growth starts taking place, the process of development is continuous and introspective. This is of course related with the spiritual connection the person supports with the Bible, and the fellowship which he creates along with other individuals in the process of recovery. He is thus rendered free of his addictive nature and this enables him to address the issues that underlie his addiction recovery, with the help of support and strength of the fellowship.The addict thus finds a new sense of freedom that results in peace, calmness and joy. What happens most importantly is that the person starts associating himself with the aegis of God. While progressing through the course of the program, the person discovers the glory and grace of the all-forgiving higher power, Jesus Christ. This is the direct effect of the 12 step program that makes the individual realize that he is not Christ and that he is powerless to control the urge of wrongdoing. He believes that God exists in him and that He endows him with the power of recovery. Hence, he chooses to commit all of his life and even his will to the care and control of God.
