Drug Rehab and Spirituality

Spirituality is the intangible aspect of recovery and also the one that stimulates the most debate. Books have been written on the interconnected nature between alcoholism, drug addiction and lack of spirituality. For those in the recovery field, there is little doubt that drug rehab and spirituality is vital to the transformation process from addiction to freedom.

Regardless of your beliefs, there are undoubtedly experiences you have or have seen that defy explanation. How is it that a mother can sense when her child is in danger? What makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up when you have a hunch? At SouthCoast Recovery in Dana Point, California, we incorporate innovative workshops that tap into the spiritual nature of our existence and the interconnected nature of mind, body and spirit. In addition, we introduce our clients to meditation and the 12-step methodology that calls for reliance on a higher power in order to overcome the nature of alcoholism and drug addiction.

When the body is influenced by alcohol or drugs, it essentially holds the spirit hostage. These chemical substances sap your body of health and vitality, of time and youth. Those who suffer the effects of alcoholism and drug addiction are receiving a divine wake up call to discover their authentic self. It’s the equivalent of getting a tap on the shoulder that eventually leads to a serious shake if you continue to ignore it. Drug rehab and spirituality work together to get an individual sober and keep them sober.

Spirituality is not religious dogma or a doctrine that follows a set of institutional bylaws. Rather it is a personal experience that comes from the deepest part of who we are – a place that is untainted by the world, a place of peace that comes from a realm of higher consciousness. When an individual is able to connect with this inner part of themselves, this is where lasting transformation takes place. Without this inner calm, the mind continues to agitate and wrestle with life situations and experiences. The frustration of the mind is felt in the body and this can drive an individual into a state that predisposes a relapse. This is where spirituality and the support of others in the 12-step community work together to help keep an individual sober.

At SouthCoast Recovery, we offer a variety of ways for an individual to explore the nature of spirituality and determine what feels right to them. Spirituality is not something that can be forced - it has to come in your own time. We also teach you how recognize the patterns in your life that invite pain and have the courage to break those patterns that could lead you back into alcoholism and drug addiction. You will discover where your boundaries have been violated and identify the negative energy that drains you, leaving you doubtful, confused, angry and full of fear. Drug rehab and spirituality work together to help you experience the transformation necessary to be free of addiction once and for all.

The very process of undertaking a journey of transformation from the old to the new, from addiction to freedom, requires faith that there is something greater at work. The basis is simple: Reliance on a higher power, whatever you deem that power to be. Trust that this higher power will not steer you wrong. It led you here and this is where we can help.
