We offer optional programming for those who desire to incorporate Christian
beliefs into their recovery.
Many Christians struggle alone with chemical dependency for fear
of rejection. At La Hacienda, we recognize addiction as a serious disease,
rather than moral inadequacy that affects the mind, body, and spirit. For those
who desire to incorporate their Christian faith into their recovery, group and
individual counseling is provided which includes recognition of the
transforming power of the Holy Spirit.
Those patients who desire to participate in the Christian Focus
Groups do so in addition to all other programming. Our clinical staff includes
a minister who facilitates five groups each week. These special counseling
groups explore Biblical scripture and the relationship to the Twelve Steps of
Alcoholics Anonymous, the spiritual nature of human relationships, the
importance of forgiveness in healing, and other essential components of
spirituality in recovery. Gaining insight about the important aspects of
recovery, and learning how it interrelates with Christian faith, helps our
patients experience renewed hope from their core beliefs.
While in treatment, patients who desire to attend an area church
each Sunday may do so. Visitation time is reserved for those wishing to visit
with a pastor or priest. Our staff minister is available for individual
counseling and assistance for patients, family members, and area pastors, as
requested.
