Addiction Treatment
People from all walks of life can experience problems with their drug use, regardless of age, race, background, or the reason they started using drugs in the first place. It’s not just illegal drugs, such as cocaine or heroin, that can lead to abuse and addiction.
Drug abuse and addiction is less about the type or amount of the substance consumed or the frequency of your drug use, and more about the consequences of that drug use. If your drug use is causing problems in your life—at work, school, home, or in your relationships—you likely have a drug abuse or addiction problem.
John 2:16 “For everything in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life— comes not from the Father but from the world.”

Anxiety/Stress Management
Stress involves reacting mentally and physically to a specific experience in your daily life, such as moving away from home, final exams, or lack of money to pay bills that month.
Anxiety is what happens when stress continues without the stressor. It tends to involve excessive fears such as harm to loved ones, being unsuccessful in life, or the unknown future.
Just the action of speaking anxieties aloud helps to relieve the acute pain of it. Coping skills will help with the management of the symptoms.
Philippians 4:6-7 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

Whatever the cause, you do not have to go thought depression alone. Walking together with others can be the first step to healing and depression.
Psalm 143:7-8 “Answer me quickly, Lord; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit. Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life..”
