ALCOHOL TREATMENT

The problem of alcohol abuse has much more do with it than “proper thinking”, stronger morals or pristine behavior. Alcohol addiction is a complex, bio-psycho-social-spiritual disease and must be addressed accordingly in order to halt its destructive pattern. The treatment program at Pacific Hills seeks to address these human complexities through a comprehensive treatment program.

Spiritual in nature, alcoholism treatment must be constructed on a spiritual platform. The simple spiritual principles outlined in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous offer a pathway to spiritual healing. To this, the programs at Pacific Hills offer a parallel curriculum that builds a foundation based on the 12 Steps as rooted in the scriptures.

Pacific Hills is a premier Christian alcohol rehabilitation program where spiritual support is offered within two curriculum tracks; a Traditional Track, where the concept of a “Higher Power” is suggested, and a “Christian Track” for those preferring to examine the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous in the light of their biblical underpinnings.

At Pacific Hills, our clients are given qualified medical advice through both a preliminary phone assessment and a personal examination by medical professionals upon entering treatment. This, due to the fact that sudden withdrawal, even from "socially acceptable" drugs such as alcohol, can cause death through seizures and coma.

When asked difficult questions about recovery, Dr. Bob’s usual response was: “What does it say in the Good Book?” He declared that A.A. pioneers were “convinced that the answer to their problems was in the Good Book.” He added: “To some of us older ones, the parts we found absolutely essential were the Sermon on the Mount, the 13th chapter of First Corinthians, and the Book of James.
