Over the last few years a heavy increase has been noticed in the number of drug addicts in the country. Drugs have become easily available in the current era in all parts of the country and this causes a great threat to the society. The ramifications of the lack of awareness amongst people can be felt all over the country today. While drugs are illegal in the country drugs are constantly being smuggled into the country from various parts of the world. The good thing however is that plenty of Christian drug rehab facilities have been established to help people get rid of their addiction.

Addiction to various kinds of drugs requires different kinds of treatment. A cocaine addict would have to go through a more intense rehab program as compared to a marijuana addict. Christian drug rehab facilities all over the country provide treatment all kinds of drug addicts and there are some features of this treatment that are common in most rehab centers. These features are as follows:

• Detoxification of the addict: This process is the most important part of a drug rehab program. Unless a person is free from all kinds of toxins in his body it becomes tough to treat him properly and effectively. Various kinds of herbal and ayurvedic derivatives are used for the purpose and the doctors concentrate on methods to clean the intestines of a person. Most of the impurities settle down in the intestines and these impurities harness the growth of micro-organisms which further cause problems for the various organs of the body. Therefore colon cleansing and detoxification of the liver are basic formulas involved in a detox process.
• Counseling: There is no doubt about the fact that treating a drug addict is a psychological affair and in order to understand an addict's state of mind counseling is very important. Counselors at a rehab center help the patients to speak up the causes that led him into addiction. There are a number of reasons why a person chooses drugs over a simple and sober life. The root of all these reason resides in the person's inability to deal with various challenges that life throws at him or her. The counselors not only help make the addicts talk about their problems but with the help of therapists also help the addict to find a solution to deal with the problem. The addict is mentally strengthened and is made to believe in himself. Soon the addict gains his self confidence and the guts to face any kind of obstacles in the way.
• Spiritual guidance: There was a time when spiritual guidance was not given much importance. Christian drug rehab facilities have always focused on the spiritual development of the patient and once positive results were obtained all kinds of rehab centers adopted the spiritual means of treating addiction. Spiritual guidance is also categorized under psychology and helps the patient to regain his or her faith in God. Once this happens the patient is less likely to engage in any sinful activity. By the time the rehab program comes to an end the patients become spiritually mature and leave the rehab with complete confidence in themselves.
