How A Higher Power Is Essential To Rehab

Choosing the right drug rehab and alcohol treatment center is one of the most important decisions struggling patients need to make on their recovery journey. Every center approaches treatment differently and has its own way of helping patients overcome addiction. Rob’s Ranch is a spiritual treatment center, which means we offer treatment based on religious tenants and spirituality. Patients and their family members often ask whether belief in a higher power helps in the process. Here’s a look at why it can help:

Acknowledging The Authority of a Higher Power

Our Christian-based drug rehab encourages people to submit to a higher power and let that power be their guiding light. Addiction compromises a person’s reasoning ability and judgment. It overwhelmed rational thought and even if you know that substance abuse is taking over your life, there’s little strength of will left behind to counteract it.

Believing in a higher power can help when a person can’t trust their own judgment and strength of will. Addictive substances can trick your mind and mess with your emotions so a strong, unshakable power that’s beyond the influence of these drugs can help.

Motivation and Sense of Purpose

Overcoming addiction requires enormous strength of will. People who successfully complete a treatment program at our Oklahoma rehab treatment facility are strong, determined, and committed to a healthier lifestyle. Belief in a higher power gives patients the motivation and courage needed to beat addiction and keep it at bay over the long term. This belief helps them focus on something beyond addiction.

Sense of Community and Connectedness

People struggling with addiction often feel disconnected from society. They struggle to find an anchor even if they have a strong support system in their friends and family. Believing in a higher power can give you a sense of community and help you feel connected. This community connection can act as an anchor and ensure patients don't feel alone or abandoned during their journey. Such a connection is particularly helpful for patients who don’t have strong support systems or good ties with their loved ones.

Long Term Recovery

A faith-based drug rehab center can help patients develop habits and systems that can combat the pull of addiction consistently, even after they have left rehab. Many studies show that an enduring belief in a higher power can help people stay on the right path and avoid relapses. It is easier to give in to temptation if someone isn't holding you accountable, which can compromise long-term recovery.

Studies have also shown that Christian alcohol counseling can help people develop a more optimistic approach to life and attain a deeper sense of purpose. This creates a positive environment that counteracts the pull of addiction. Drugs or alcohol won’t have much influence over you if you’re happy and at peace with yourself.
