Even after attending a month long recovery program for 90 days and above, very few actually manage to attain complete sobriety and lead a normal healthy life. However, Christian rehab centers have definitely shown the largest possible number of success stories in recovering from addiction. The real success can be achieved by imbibing a sense of discipline and the Christian philosophy and applying it practically in one's life.

Inside the christian rehab program , life is continuously monitored, and help is always at hand, but outside in the real world, without support and incessant temptation it gets more stressful and harder to stay out of trouble and stay focused.   Rehab centers aim to instill a sense of responsibility over one's life and they achieve this by stressing on the following factors:

ACHIEVEMENT- Achievement is always important in a person's life as it brings satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment. With a proper set of goals in life, an individual in addiction stays focused and out of temptations.

CONSCIOUSNESS– An individual should be conscious towards life and goal and his/her surrounding. It brings proper sensibilities towards life.

ACTIVITY– Instead of engaging yourself into socializing, it's best to engage yourself in physical exercises or mental exercises like studying a new subject of interest or picking up a new skill. Stay focused and stay out of addiction.

HEALTH –Gain proper knowledge and understanding of different aspects of your body. This makes the person aware of the harm he is causing to his body health wise and encourage him to lead a healthy life.

RESPONSIBILITY-It is important to take responsibility in life.Fulfilling commitments and responsibilities give a sense of accomplishment as well.

COMMUNITY-Involve yourself in community work. With a routine program, an individual can achieve a sense and value for life.

In Christian rehab program , only 5%-15% of addicts and alcoholics undergo the treatment process properly. Many are reported to have undergone a relapse at least once within the first year. One should avoid such relapses  in the time period where they have just completed their treatment programs.

Involve the following few steps into your routine

• Always stay connected with your counselor on a monthly or weekly basis. It is important to find strength in times of weaknesses. A counselor can help you overcome such stressful moments after rehab.
• At least during the first year, one should attend a regular group session. Group sessions provide necessary support and experience to get over the initial stressful years.

• There are plenty of role reversal outside in the society and family when you come out after treatment. You need to learn from scratch how to function without drugs and/or alcohol.

One needs to stay focused, strong and disciplined to avoid temptations in life, through belief in GOD and themselves. Christian rehab programs imbibe faith and trust in a supreme power and makes the patient aware that He is forgiving and wants His children to be happy. Coming to terms with life and problems on one's social term is of utmost importance for addicts. Unless you follow the teachings of Jesus and Bible in such matters it can be very hard to understand the sensibilities of human life and forgiveness. Pastoral counselors and professionals counselors on a Christian rehab center work together to define the answer of such queries in an addict's life.
