Real recovery requires transformation
We beleive the lack of spirituality is the missing link with
secular treatment programs that don't work,
and statistics support this very
position.
Conversely, many spiritual leaders
are ill equipped to handle the specifics of
drug and alcohol related issues; such as,
drug education, relapse prevention, triggers,
12 step programs, detoxification, and more...
The difficulties that families face today, although
general in nature, require a support team that
is knowledgeable & experienced in the specifics
of what your family is going through, plus, have
the ability to convey spiritual solutions .

Miracle Cure?
Are you doing the same things over and
over, hoping circumstances will change?
Let us help you break that cylce of
dependence and co-dependence...
Recovery begins the process of change.
It is not a one time "fix all" cure, but, it is a
new life style, that we know how to teach and instill.
Poor behaviors have developed over a long period due to
inabilities to respond properly to life's difficulties...
No one wakes up one day and thinks' "hmmm, I think I'll
start using drugs this week".The choice to drink & use drugs
becomes the result of not having the knowledge, skills, or emotional
capacity to deal with life in effective, productive, and appropriate
ways, over a long period of time.
Beginning the process of recovery requires a committment to
learn new things, and the willingness to work through old traumas.
Drug Use is a Symptom!
Keep in mind, the use of drugs or alcohol is merely a symptom
of deeper internal issues, perhaps a childhood trauma, or, the
shame of disappointing a parent, or, failing to make the school
team, or, feeling uncomfortable with the changes our bodies
encounter during adolescence...
It is absolutely essential that one in recovery learn and
practice 12 step principles, but, the user must also participate in the
process of healing old hurts.
Many times, a person may build up resentments or shame
from specific events in their life they no longer recognize.
If asked, "why so angry, or sad",
they honestly can't explain it.
The point we're making is that when we all face real life
'defeats', without the skills and knowledge to handle the
really tough stuff; using drugs, alcohol, anger, isolation,
defiance, manipulation, running away, etc.. seems like a
pretty good solution at the time.
Of course, all of these maladaptive behavioral responses
will continue to lead us away from our potential
The good news is; The process can be reversed before
your family member becomes a full blown addict
Have you ever thought?
"where did my child go,
what went wrong"?
People who get involved with drugs or alcohol truly
have no idea what they're getting themsleves into and
certainly no idea of how to reverse that process
once it has begun. They move deeper and deeeper into a
world that is dark and isolated from the dreams and desires
they may have had as a younger child.
You may even feel that your family member is already fully addicted.
What now?
Call for help today, whether you call us or someone else,
I urge you to call for help today!
And before you go any further... Stop blaming yourself!
Your child's poor choices are their own. We can show them how stop,
and gently guide them into a new place; Mentally, Spiritually, Emotinally, & Physcially
Recovery is not a race...
In some cases, it has taken years to develop self defeating
behaviors and therefore, stands to reason, will take substantial
time to rebuild our lives, and even develop completely
new lives... There may not be much of your
old life you wish to hang onto.
Immediate relief can be acheived,
by practicing very simple & basic techniques and principles
"If you'll do one thing different today,
something different will happen"
Call today and tell us your story...
So often, we hear hurting parents say; "but my son is not like the others,
he's very manipulative and will probably trick you into thinking he's getting
better when he's really just playing you", then what will we do"?
Dear Parents,
Aside from our own expertise in the field of drug &
alcohol recovery, our entire staff has lived the nightmare of drugs,
alcohol, and other behavioral disorders that threaten your family today.
The development of our program curriculum, lectures, group techniques, and
so forth, does not come from theory alone. Our program is developed from collective
decades of doing the same negative things over and over yet expecting better results.
We know, first hand, what works, what doesn't, and how to help your family. To put
it bluntly, our program has a built in "B.S." meter, and no one has ever hacked it.
Program progress is not measured by written tests that are so easily manipulated,
or even the empty words of a particular client... Our program progress is measured
through a series of intangibles that only surface when true change is taking place.
Then, a parent will usually say; "well, you haven't met my kid yet"... and to that we'll say;
"Step out in faith with us, include God in your process of healing, and please continue to
read more of this web site. We explain in greater detail our philosophies, how we acheive success
rates of over 88%, and how it all comes together, without beating our clients over the head with bibles.
We don't preach to our clients,
nor, do we try to convert them.
As A.A. founder, Bill Wilson
discovered 70, plus years ago, "it simply can't be done
by our own power", we've been trying that solution
and it didn't work ...
We must tap into our own indivdual spirituality,
not in a judgemental, "why haven't you been going
to church', sort of way. but rather, 'what's my
own purpose in life and how do I acheive it'?
So, we ask you today,
change your thinking, from;
"if he'll just make new friends"
"if he'd just break up with that girlfriend"
"if he'd just get a job"
... then, life would get better".
The reality is, life doesn't get better on our own power, it gets worse...
So, allow yourself to recognize that nothing changes
if nothing changes, stop relying on external events,
and stop waiting for someone else to change their
behavior before you can be happy. Do one thing different today!
