Most Christian drug rehab centers ignore current research which states group sizes should not exceed 16 participants. Our group sizes never exceed 16 members for inpatient and 12 for outpatient. However, we do acknowledge that we are not a one size fits all treatment facility. Your disease of addiction could be severe enough that you might really benefit from a program large enough to where your peers are able to witness your problem behaviors and call you out on them. Only you can be honest with yourself and decide what type of program is custom tailored to fit your specific needs.

Many Christian drug rehab programs allow paraprofessionals to administer an individual session, or do not provide individual therapy as often as needed. Our small group sizes benefit each client by giving them the potential to meet individually with a Master level clinician up to 8 hours each day. It is extremely important you are able to have private access to a master level therapist that you can literally trust your life with. Do not go to a program that does not provide ample opportunity for you to spill your beans to them and help you make sense of all of your life’s problems.

It is important that the substance abuse treatment facility that you attend provides a life-time guarantee that allows clients to come back free of charge for a tune-up whenever necessary. We stand behind it’s program by offering a life-time guarantee that allows clients to return at no additional charge as long as they successfully complete our residential inpatient and outpatient aftercare treatment programs in their entirety. Many other Christian drug rehab facilities offer this awesome opportunity, but unfortunately are actually not free as they charge for board and room or call it a “nominal fee”.

Although state licensed Christian addiction centers are required to have a clinical director supervise the facility; you would be surprised who is actually involved in the client’s regular schedule. Make sure the client’s daily care is provided by Master level clinicians that specialize in substance abuse treatment. Our individual, group, and family therapy sessions are always conducted by Master level clinicians that specialize in substance abuse rehab. You would be astonished to discover just how many Christian drug and alcohol rehabs that only have paraprofessionals working directly with you or your loved one for the majority of the time they are in a residential or even outpatient rehab setting. Do not trust your life with the untrained!

Christian drug rehab treatment centers often provide aftercare through their Christian inpatient drug rehab which forces the client to repeat material they have already learned. Aftercare must be catered to the client’s specific and individual needs and not what is convenient for the facility. Our Christian residential alcohol or drug rehab aftercare is provided through our Day Treatment or Outpatient Treatment services that are completely separate from our residential treatment center. This means new treatment plans, study materials, and goals are created and updated regularly according to the client’s personal needs.

The majority of Christian drug rehab centers rarely offer family therapy. For the programs that do, it often takes place in a large group room setting where multiple family members sit together. Due to the lack of privacy and awkward feelings from the abnormal group size; issues at-hand may remain unaddressed. Find a Christian rehab that offers weekly family therapy conducted strictly between the client and their immediate family. Our family therapy is offered weekly and is conducted by a Master level therapist in a private setting with just the client and their family.

Most all rehabs claim a high performance of success rates but do not have established methods of both measuring and proving it. At our Christian Alcohol Recovery Center, monthly standardized outcome questionnaires (evidenced-based) are performed to follow their progress and to make the appropriate adjustments as needed. In addition to measuring and tracking client growth and learning; participation is also rated on a daily basis. We keep tabs on our clients long after they complete treatment as they are inseparably connected as life-long alumni and a major part of the family from here on out.

When genders are combined simultaneously in a residential inpatient setting, it can be very distracting for the client to focus solely on their recovery. It is best to locate a Christian addiction treatment center that focuses primarily on mastering substance abuse/dual-diagnosis Christian treatment to ensure the clients receive the best possible outcome. Our inpatient services currently operate on a mixed population basis. We feel in most situations an addict will most assuredly benefit from our Christian treatment facility to help with social integration or address severe traumatic issues. You will have to decide which program is best for you. If you are unsure, we would be happy to point you in the right direction!

There are literally hundreds of different treatment methods available for Christian treatment centers to use. Find out just how diverse the recovery program is to ensure treatment is being catered to each client on a specific and individual level. Be careful of facilities that attempt to treat multiple addictions and mental disorders (sex, gambling, eating disorder, schizophrenia, etc.) in the same group setting. It is extremely important to find a facility that treats the specific addiction that you or your loved one is battling. We pride ourself in our ability to match the right treatment for the right client. For a comprehensive list of some of the more common approaches we use but are not limited to, go to our “TREATMENT METHODS” page.

Many Christian rehabilitation centers cost thousands of dollars per month and substitute therapy by having their clients attend local 12-Step meetings (AA, NA, LDS 12-Step, etc.). These self-help meetings are available to the public absolutely free of charge and are conducted by non-professional individuals. When selecting a treatment center, make sure they provide quality addiction care from licensed providers who consistently nurture an environment that allows the client to feel safe enough to finally heal and recover by disclosing their underlying issues. Our clients open up rapidly and with their newfound vulnerability, it is important to reward them consistently by providing a healthy mix of fun and relaxation with the best therapeutic structure daily. We set ourselves apart from other treatment facilities through their strict policy for all staff and administration to follow the same rules and guidelines set for the clients. We actually live the healthy lifestyle our clients are encouraged to learn and practice; and therefore we provide and model positive examples on a daily basis.
