Christian & Faith-Based Rehabs in Florida
For those seeking recovery in a spiritually nurturing environment, faith-based rehabs in Florida offer a unique path.

This approach allows individuals to connect with a higher power, strengthen their spiritual foundation, and find solace in shared beliefs while addressing addiction.
What Are Faith-Based Rehabs?
Faith-based rehabs typically employ Christianity as their foundational religion.1,2 The primary goal of faith-based rehab is to promote change in substance abuse behaviors by reintroducing the connection between lifestyle choices and the moral and behavioral teachings of Christianity.1,2 Faith-based rehab is often provided by clergy people who serve as both educators and role models for people with substance abuse challenges.1,2
In faith-based rehab, the educators/role models are responsible for modeling behaviors that follow the code of behaviors that are both socially acceptable and desirable under the principles of Christianity.2 For some people, substance abuse develops as a coping mechanism in direct response to the experience of life crises or trauma.1 Identifying a higher power can be a powerful tool in recovery for some people with substance abuse challenges.1 For some people with substance abuse challenges, rehab programs that incorporate religion or spirituality may be preferred over traditional rehab programs.1,2

Types of Faith-Based Addiction Treatment in Florida
Addiction is complex, and each individual is unique. So each treatment plan is customized to the individual needs of each patient. That said, treatment comprises the following levels of care.
Detox
Many people begin their treatment journey with medically assisted detox, which ensures patients are safe and as comfortable as possible during withdrawal.
Inpatient Rehab
Inpatient rehab, where patients live at a facility 24/7, provides a safe space to live, grow, and recover. Therapies often include individual and group counseling, peer support groups, education, and more to help patients build relapse-prevention skills and achieve long-term sobriety.
Outpatient Programs
Outpatient programs offer similar services to those of inpatient programs, just at a lower intensity. Plus, patients live at home while attending treatment. Outpatient options include traditional outpatient care, intensive outpatient programs (IOPs), and partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) (sometimes referred to as day treatment). Also note that some programs offer telehealth treatment as well.
Addiction Aftercare
Experts recommend some form of aftercare following inpatient or outpatient treatment. Options include sober living, ongoing therapy, peer support groups, etc.
Who Is Faith-Based Rehab For?

- Having strong religious or spiritual convictions.
