Treatment Centers Help Us To Grow Spiritually

By Ming Chi Lin


One of the hardest life lessons in a drug and alcohol treatment facility is the amount of spiritual growth that you have to go through. It is important to know how important it is to grow spiritually. The reason why many people are addicted to drug and alcohol is because they are struggling to understand that a higher power loves them. A higher power is often a God that has disappointed the person that is doing drugs. Drug addiction has a lot to do with irresponsible living or feeling like nobody cares.

This is not easy to live with since a lot of people today believe that God does not love them. When someone feels this, they tend to go within and blame themselves and other people for their problems. One of the hardest life lessons for a person to learn in treatment is that they are not in control. In fact, they may find it to be hard in learning more about themselves. If find it interesting that a lot of people today find their spiritual growth to be difficult. It is mainly due to the fact that they are not spending enough time praying or reading a spiritual book.

You may look at the life of Bill Wilson and understand that he was in a position in which he had to change his own life. It was a hard part for him to look back on his life and feel like something had to change. Change happens when we least expect and we often don't know or even understand why something happens to us. Bill Wilson was able to turn to his faith when it came to overcoming his addictions. It is important to understand that addiction is a powerful force of our times. We are addicted to things that come naturally to us.

You need to find out what makes the most sense and then go after it. Don't worry if it doesn't make much sense to you at first. The truth of the matter is that nobody knows you the best except for you and God. Once you find out that God actually does care about you, you will find it easier to grow in your treatment. I would say that the #1 reason why people overcome their addiction is because of their faith. Bill Wilson (the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous) said that he could not overcome his addiction to alcohol until he was able to combine his faith. Once he added his faith into the mix, he found it easy to overcome his addiction. He learned to deal with his addictions and not let them destroy his life. Before that, he was in and out of hospitals trying to find his sobriety.

In my opinion, life tends to happen for the better. We tend to look at our past and see that we have grown from it. When you are in rehab, you begin to feel like God does care about you. For some, it takes multiple attempts before being completely sober. Most addicts like to feel like they are in charge and can do whatever they feel like. When you enter treatment, you begin to learn more about yourself and what matters to your life.
