They work with people who struggle with substance use disorder, sex addiction and gambling. The counselors here believe that people tell themselves lies, which leads them to addictive behavior. They teach that the tenets of the Christian religion are the truth.
They believe that if you follow the teachings in the Bible you will be able to break bad habits.
The staff will provide an assessment to those who are struggling with addiction. They have staff members who have struggled with addiction themselves. They also have counselors who are members of the National Christian Counselors Association.
The assessment they will give you uses a four-phase model to address your substance use. The counselors developed this tool from personal experience. After an assessment they’ll determine the type of treatment plan they suggest and the length of that plan.
They will always recommend three options. If the first treatment option will not work for you, you can always take the second. They have relationships with many treatment facilities around the country as well in case you need referrals for other services.
