Study Says Faith-Based Rehab Gets Better Results
According to an article in Christian Today, a study by Alcoholism:
Clinical and Experimental Research states faith-based treatment
for alcoholism gets better results than non-faith-based rehab programs.
| In fact, according to
the study, those who attend a faith-based version of Alcoholics
Anonymous meetings stand a 30-percent chance of staying sober
after 2 years than those in other programs using only cognitive-behavioral
therapy.
The spiritual component of the AA programs is seen to be
the sticking point by many who attend these meetings as many
people since do not buy into the concept of being powerless
and giving one's life and will over to a higher power.

Though many scientists have been skeptical in the past, many are
now being persuaded by the findings in the study that link a spiritual
component with recovery rate.
