A Drug-Free Life = A Christian Way of Life

Christian drug intervention program is one of the effective methods ever emphasized in most drug rehabilitation centers. It is implemented in an out-of-this-world perspective when most worldly perspective failed. Most people who are engaged in drug addiction know so much about the drugs they are using, as well as the harsh effects it conspires. So it seems that bombarding them with more stuff about those drugs won’t seem to work anymore. Addressing the key reasons why turn to drugs – sense of belongingness, family attention, escape from reality - seems still to be the best option. And educating them in Christian way seems to cater all these needs of a drug addict.

In a Christian perspective, the one who accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior will be a new being - free from the dark past he had been dwelling(II Corinthians 5:17). That would make him or her feel that his concept of family would change from his family by blood into a family by faith. Therefore, in an intervention service, he can have much attention he or she can get from his Christian family that will fill him towards a new Christian life. Most of all, he or she will learn that God has a 24/7 attention for him or her.

Millions of drug dependents cannot be misguided. They have really found that greatest breakthrough in their lives and make them feel their greatest importance through intervention method. Let it not be said that the Bible said in Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your path straight.”

Addiction Intervention

A person known for drug addiction or alcohol abuse, when being admitted for rehab should undergo pretreatment intervention before the proper treatment phase. This is to ensure that an appropriate program will be assign to the person that will meet the needs and will suit the person capacity during the latent phase of the treatment.

Drug addiction or alcohol abuse intervention will have a better percentage of working well when a complete assessment has been made. Different interventions have different effect on different clients so it is crucial to determine the right capability and the maximum tolerance of a specific patient. This will be of great help in all phases of the program as it plays a big part in the person’s journey in getting better.

What ever intervention services the client will go through; the important factor is the dedication that is shown in the program as it is being implemented. Having focus and good team work between patient and patient advocate are few of the key ingredient in reaching the goal. Bare in mind that failure is not an option and as long as there is signs of development one should never give up even though intervention is taking too long.

Wrong Message

The media plays a big part in endorsing materials such as beer and icons are also one of the prime reasons for the spread of it towards the teens. The yuppies and teens see such acts of partying obviously with drinking and drugs on television shows or movies and see it as something cool to do. And that’s what they try to follow for it brings them great joy for being able to do what their favorite icons do. It turns out that it causes some of the teens to do things exaggeratedly which results in alcohol abuse and drug addiction.

Though peer often is the reason for these wrongful acts, the message they get from TV and theaters is as strong as it. That’s where they would get the ideas and they would try to finds ways to do it in whatever means and more often than not they would succeed. Because of the delicateness of the bodies of these teens and other yuppies, they can’t get the hang of the effects of alcohol and drugs which may lead to various complications and accidents. When the toxicity of the substance takes effect on the central nervous system of the body then our body’s normal function will deteriorate for example the vision, speech, gait, judgment and reflex and to the extent that it will paralyze the body. In this case we should consider going through some drug and alcohol intervention to guide and help us in diminishing and hopefully vanishing this kind of vice.

Going through an intervention on ones own will is the best choice to make for someone with substance problem. It may be in a rehabilitation center, clinic and hospital or just at home as long as you full admit yourself to the program then things would go smoothly. Any crisis can be worked out and be solved with pure dedication on helping oneself get well again.

Making it a point to understand the message we get from the media and making the young ones understand it also is a must. We should not let their minds get polluted to avoid any further problems.
