A Christian rehab experience is different from the average rehab experience in a number of ways. Some people come to a Christian rehab specifically for the spiritual experience while others are surprised to learn that they have enrolled in a Christian program. Many Christian rehabs offer their clients the option of leaving Christianity out of their recovery experience if it makes them uncomfortable, but for those who appreciate it, rehab can be a deeply spiritual experience.

The spiritual guidance a person can receive from enrolling into a Christian rehab program is profound. Christianity offers a very fulfilling spiritual life; one that presents a version of history that explains why we are here, connects people with their creator and fills lives with purpose, hope, love and peace. Many people know they want these things but do not know how to go about them. They can benefit immensely by receiving guidance through the acceptance of spirituality and what it means to their lives.

Attending a Christian rehabilitation program gives a person automatic access to a Christian community and support system. If there is one thing Christians know how to do very well, its build community and create support systems. Even critics of the Christian church praise Christians for their well established community building skills. This quality of the Christian community is very important to recovering drug users, who are very vulnerable and often receive rejection instead of support.

Most importantly, a Christian rehab experience can expose clients to God’s love. More than anything, this is the powerful component that can change a person’s life forever. God’s love is a supernatural force that is more powerful than any other force in existence. Experiencing it is breath taking and awe inspiring. There are no words to describe it, but when you experience it, your mind is blown by its profundity and you see all of reality through very different eyes. This kind of power makes the need to abuse drugs non-existent.
