| Romans
3:23 tells us that all people
have sinned and have fallen short of the
glory of God. Certainly this applies those
who have harmed themselves, their loved
ones, and especially their spirits due to
substance abuse. Alcoholics and addicts
are wracked with guilt and regret and shame
and this can make it more difficult to face
that there is a problem.
The good news is that the power of Christ
can and will cleanse sufferers from all
unrighteousness (John
1:9). When honestly and
sincerely called upon, God's love and mercy
replaces active addiction with inner peace.
In
order for the process of recovery to begin,
many alcoholics and addicts need to understand
that self-will and self-reliance instead
of reliance upon God has caused great damage
to work, friendships, family dynamics, finances,
and health. Denial is unfortunately a powerful
part of active addiction. The love of family
and friends, the love of Christ, and the
firm guiding hand of our licensed and certified
Christian interventionists can break this
denial and break the destructive cycle of
addiction.
We will work with you to determine the proper
time and place for an intervention, and
will arrange placement for your loved one
in a Christian recovery facility. Careful
planning and consultation will allow Christ
to work through us and help a suffering
substance abuser confront the devastating
spiritual and material effects of addiction,
and by doing so, get started on a happy
and fulfilling life of recovery.
