Addiction is classified as a disease because it meets the criteria of all other terminal diseases;
- It has pattern of symptoms which are similar across all types of substance abuse,
- It is a chronic condition. It doesn't go away,
- The person is subject to relapse.
- It is progressive. Addiction only gets worse with continued use, and ends with death.
The good news however, is that, while substance addiction is a terminal illness, its progression can be arrested at almost any stage and can be put into remission indefinitely - providing a specific program is adhered to faithfully.
The highly successful Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous are best known to base its program on a collection of spiritual disciplines that have been helpful to people recovering from addictions.
Pacific Hills Treatment Centers, Inc. is a premier Christian alcohol treatment program, offering both the traditional spirituality track based on the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and a Christ-centered program for those who embrace the scriptures and Christ as their Higher Power.
ABOUT US
The success of the program at Pacific Hills Treatment Centers can be credited to our Christ-centered approach to the recovery process. Following the early history of the highly-successful Alcoholics Anonymous program, we offer therapies constructed around a biblically-based application of the principles of the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous as found in the Big Book. Our graduating clients, like many of the early members of AA, have found that by relinquishing their lives to God, they are able to recover from the disease of alcoholism and sustain sobriety indefinitely one day at a time. Our comprehensive protocols address the bio/psycho/social/spiritual aspects of each individual so as to address the needs and issues pertaining to the whole person.
Our mission is to provide the highest quality of treatment available to adults suffering from alcohol and drug dependency in an effort to help addicts and their families begin the process of recovery. We are committed to serving those with Co-Occurring disorders, while emphasizing a strong spiritual foundation, true to the original concept of the 12-steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.
