Faith-Based Drug Rehab Centers in California
A great many drug rehab centers in California can be considered as faith based. The twelve-step protocol is the most common type of treatment, and there is a very strong spiritual component to this approach.
Six of the twelve steps make direct reference to God. The first step is personal, regarding the addict’s realization that he is powerless over his addiction. The very next step says that addicts must believe in “a Power greater than ourselves,” and the third step requires them to relinquish control over their lives to “the care of God as we understood Him.” At the eleventh step, addicts “sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.”
The twelve-step program has been extremely successful, as evidenced by the fact that you can find meetings in just about any town in the United States and in more than sixty nations throughout the world. However, some people would prefer a more Christ-centered approach, to reflect their strong Christian faith.
