Share | It is generally understood that alcoholism negatively affects the mind, body and the addict’s relationships, but often the spiritual impact is overlooked. The rehabilitation treatment community understands the importance of faith in God and offers courses in spirituality and frequently now, Christian alcohol treatment options are also extended. When evaluating the immense success of Alcoholics Anonymous over the past 75 years, one would have to agree that their emphasis on building a life of sobriety on relationship with a “God of ones’ own understanding” has merit. It was Bill W., one of the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous, who first referred to the Twelve Steps as a "spiritual kindergarten." He was emphasizing that the Twelve Steps were designed to help us learn - and put into practice -these most basic spiritual truths that have led millions to sobriety. Those rehabilitation centers that offer a Christian alcohol treatment option base their Christian program on the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous in the context of the biblical references from which they were drawn. Christian alcohol treatment typically offers a balanced, comprehensive treatment program that usually includes psychological counseling, psychiatric and medical support, nutritional and health courses and instruction based on the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. But the core of the program consists of two spirituality tracks; a “Traditional Track”, utilizing the principles of the 12 Steps, and a “Christian Track” where the 12 Steps are taught based on their scriptural underpinnings. Pacific Hills Treatment Centers, Inc., a premier Christian treatment rehabilitation facility where Christian alcohol treatment is the centerpiece of their program. Here, they offer both the traditional spirituality track. Their professional and certified staff includes psychologists, psychiatrists, medical staff, case managers and recovery pastors. All graduating clients are equipped with a relapse prevention plan that associates “triggers” with potential relapse and equips the recovering addict with “tools” to avoid experiencing a relapse.
