Addiction doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t care what age you are, where you were born, or whether you and your family attended church every Sunday. Neither does Northbound Treatment Center. This Southern California rehab center provides comprehensive faith-based addiction treatment programming for those who want to bring religious beliefs into their recovery process. Being able to strengthen their faith may be the motivation they need to commit to recovery.
LINKS program
The rehab center in Southern California uses the LINKS program to offer a faith-based treatment program. LINKS refers to the link between addiction medicine and Christianity. Some people may have lost their way or strayed from their faith, while others may have never known faith but are interested now. Clients in the LINKS program will be able to attend local churches and receive spiritual support.
Why is faith-based treatment so important?
Forgiveness
Offering a faith-based treatment program is important because it reminds them of God’s unconditional love for them. It is easier for others to forgive an addict than for an addict to forgive themselves. Religion teaches us that God is always there for us no matter what sins we commit. This will help them on their journey to forgive themselves and stay on the right path even when it gets hard.
Like-minded people
When clients are around like-minded people like other Christians, it can help build strong, lasting friendships. They will know they can go to them without the fear of judgment and that they will encourage them.
Something bigger than themselves
The idea is that something bigger out there, something more powerful, can be humbling and even very moving. It’s the realization that if God can do all this, he can help me.
Christ-centered counseling
Even though Northbound offers to counsel all its patients with the LINKs program, they offer Christ-centered counseling. Recovery is possible, and their faith can help them achieve an addiction-free life. Addiction is something they will have to deal with for the rest of their lives, even after full recovery. Having a faith-based treatment program will give them the tools and knowledge to solve problems and work through challenges.

LINKS Christian Treatment Residential Program will assign a team to collaborate to ensure that you have the best plan for your needs. This team will include:
- A Case Manager

What is Collegebound?
Collegebound is one of the Signature Services Northbound offers. Through Collegebound, clients can enroll in school, whether through a local school, university, or trade school. Drugs or alcohol may have prevented them from finishing school or pursuing their dream career.
Addiction can leave a person feeling helpless; it can damage their self-esteem and feel like they have no real purpose. Going back to school can be just the thing they need to rediscover their passions.
The team at northbound are experts in their fields and will be with you every step of the way. Recovery is possible, and faith may be just what they need to overcome this addiction. As they are taught in the 12-step program, you have to take it one day at a time.
