Substance abuse treatment at His Mansion is not a pre-packaged program but is a combination of several proven components with Christ at the center. Substance abuse is a pattern using behavior-altering substances in ways that result in adverse personal, social and legal consequences. Abused substances include alcohol, amphetamines, cocaine, hallucinogens, opiates, PCP, sedatives and prescription drugs. “Addiction and drug dependence occurs when drugs become so important that you are willing to sacrifice your work, home and even family. Once your brain and body get used to the substances you are taking, you begin to require increasingly larger and more frequent doses, in order to achieve the same effect.”
Substance abuse is a serious and complicated health condition that requires both physiological and psychological treatment and support. Most abusers believe they can stop using drugs on their own, but the majority who try do not succeed. Admission to a residential treatment center can be an important step in permanent recovery, provided the addict has a willingness to cooperate with those who are trying to help.
