The New Standard For Recovery
Catholic Drug Program
Drug Addiction Can Happen To Anyone
Anyone who thinks that Christians are immune from troubles in this life has either neglected to study God’s word or avoided the parts that made them uncomfortable.
People of faith are just as susceptible to drug addiction as nonbelievers. Poor choices contribute to dependence, but addiction is defined as a chronic brain disease that has little to do with sinfulness or lack of self-control.
St. Gregory Recovery’s Catholic Drug Program
At St. Gregory Recovery’s Catholic Drug Program, we believe that nurturing the heart is as vital to recovery as physical, mental, and emotional care. Rarely did Jesus heal anyone without also addressing spiritual needs, and our experienced caregivers closely follow his example. Faith-based addiction treatment covers all the bases.
God can do great work in your life despite this disease and your personal shortcomings. If you don’t believe it, study the lives of Abraham, Moses, King David, Jeremiah, John the Baptist, St. Peter, the Apostle Paul, and other heroes of the faith. Just like you, they were flawed human beings with many of the same problems people have today. For that very reason, God chose them as vessels of his power and glory. None of them, in the end, are identified by their former faithlessness, anger, marital infidelity, murderous acts, pride, depression, doubt, betrayal, arrogance, or blasphemy. They are identified with a mighty God who worked miracles in and through them.
If your life were a Bible story, how would you want it to end?
Catholic drug addiction programs are faith-based rehabilitation programs that incorporate Catholic principles and teachings into their approach to helping individuals recover from drug addiction. These programs are designed to address not only the physical and psychological aspects of addiction but also the spiritual and moral dimensions.
Here are some key features of our Catholic drug addiction program:
- Faith-Based Approach: These programs integrate Catholic beliefs, spirituality, and moral values into the recovery process. This may include regular prayer, participation in Mass or religious services, and discussions centered around Catholic teachings.
- Holistic Treatment: Catholic drug addiction programs often take a holistic approach to recovery. This means addressing the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of addiction. Treatment plans typically include counseling, therapy, and education on addiction and recovery from a Catholic perspective.
- Supportive Community: These programs aim to create a supportive community of individuals in recovery who share Catholic faith and values. This sense of community can be a source of encouragement and accountability.
- Counseling and Therapy: Patients receive counseling and therapy from professionals who are sensitive to the challenges of addiction within the context of Catholicism. Therapy sessions may explore the root causes of addiction, teach coping strategies, and help individuals rebuild their lives in accordance with their faith.
- 12-Step Programs: Many Catholic drug addiction programs incorporate 12-step programs, such as Narcotics Anonymous (NA) or Catholic-based recovery programs like Catholic in Recovery. These programs emphasize spiritual growth and personal transformation as key components of recovery.
- Family Involvement: Involvement of the patient’s family is often encouraged in the recovery process. Family support can be essential in helping individuals overcome addiction.
- Continuing Care: After completing a Catholic drug addiction program, individuals are typically encouraged to maintain their involvement in faith-based recovery groups and stay connected to their faith community for ongoing support.
- Medical and Psychological Care: While spirituality and faith are central components, these programs also provide medical and psychological care to address the physical and mental health aspects of addiction. This can include medical detoxification, psychiatric evaluation, and counseling for co-occurring mental health disorders.
Although we are not affiliated with the Catholic church, we provide Catholic-based aspects in our programming. The Catholic rehab program is flexible. If one method doesn’t seem to work, we’ll try another. All you have to do is be honest about your struggles and your progress.
- If you require detox, it will be administered by our team of medical professionals who understand addiction. Once your body is ready to go, you can focus on other aspects of treatment.
- Talking about underlying factors in your addiction, such as stress, depression, or sexual trauma in the past, will loosen their grip on you.
- Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the most successful strategies in rehab. It will help you recognize the emotional triggers that lead to drug abuse. Loneliness, bitterness, guilt, anger and anxiety are common pitfalls. When you know what your triggers are, you can put plans in place to cope with them in healthy ways.
- We’ll teach you to start new habits that support clean living. Life coaching will help you with motivation and accountability to your Recovery Life Plan long after you graduate from the program.
- Group meetings with peers are invaluable for several reasons. Peers hold one another accountable in loving, nonjudgmental ways. They empathize and offer support. They defuse tension with humor. They tell their stories, and that makes newcomers feel less alone. Best of all, group members who are avoiding relapse will share strategies that have worked for them.
- Group meetings lay the foundation for a strong network of ongoing support after rehab.
God’s Masterpiece
There’s an interesting story in the Gospel of John. After Jesus healed a man who was blind from birth, his disciples seemed to miss the miracle and focus on the cause of blindness:
“His disciples asked him, ‘Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?’
‘Neither this man nor his parents sinned,’ said Jesus, ‘but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.’”
Don’t worry about how you got here. Just focus on becoming God’s next masterpiece.
