There are a number of methods through which one can cure their addiction problems. They can be used together with several other methods as well. The thing with curing addiction is that there is not one-set method that applies to all. Some people are in the early stages of their addiction, so they can cure themselves with the outpatient treatment program which allows the patient to go about their lives and still get treatment for their addiction. 

For people who are in the intense levels of addiction, they need the inpatient treatment to get hospitalized at the center and get treatment 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week—this is just how it is. Then you have the therapies, and the other programs that are somewhat utilized to treat addiction problems such as individual therapy, CBT therapy etc.

What makes faith-based treatment different to as compared to the traditional methods?

Faith-based treatment program offered by Adult & Teen Challenge USA started its long journey over a 100 years ago. Ever since the 20th century started, people were trying to find a program that was not too inclined towards the medical method of treating addiction of any kind, but was more geared towards the spiritual aspect of a treatment. 

This program was to be created on context that no pills would be needed, no harmful methods of taking out the drugs from the system would be need, no electrocution would be needed, although, even at that time such a barbaric method was never used to treat addiction issues, it was just the misconception of the public to think so—never the truth. 

Therefore, a few minds got together and developed a program that was rooted in spiritualism. It did not need any kind of a medical method or any kind of a medication for it to be able to work, all it needed was to be able to instill the teachings of a religion, the aspects of religion that can reform a personality and reform a mindset to be more patient and mentally strong for it to over-power destructive thoughts that come from addiction of any kind. 

This method was the faith-based method in the form of 12-step program which Teen Challenge USA offers. Now there are many 12-step programs used to treat many different specific addiction issues, there are 12-step for drugs, 12-step for sex, 12-step for gaming etc. All of these 12-steps are created through the context and ways of religion to spiritually help a person overcome addiction. While treatment at a rehab center helps through the medical ways, through ways that can be measured to help a person achieve sobriety.

Ways faith-based treatment can help.

There are many different ways faith-based treatment can help. The major ways are through reforming the mind and personality. The way it reforms is that it makes a person think that god will always be there for them in times of need. This makes them feel comfortable that they are never alone. Then they are taught to trust themselves and forgive themselves for their wrong doings, whatever it may be which lifts a huge burden off of their shoulders. Then they are taught moral values that keeps them grounded and humane—it instills humanity and empathy in them which takes the focus away from them and towards others which naturally helps them question that what they can do for others, how they can help others? 

This is the beautiful nature of the faith-based treatment, it changes a person from within and the change spreads far and wide on the outside. If you would like to be treated in such a way, then get in touch with Teen Challenge USA to get started on your treatment.
