Life Skills
At Celebrate Hope, we want to prepare our clients for life after treatment. Beyond the facts about addiction and the inner work of healing, our programming leaves you with knowledge you’ll use every day: a set of crucial life skills in recovery.
Life Skills Used in Recovery
Even if you’ve broken your dependence on drugs and alcohol, it can be easy to fall back into old habits after treatment. Fortunately, there are ways to mentally and emotionally prepare for challenges back in your daily life. We use the Bible and a variety of faith-based resources to help you prevent relapse after you’ve left Celebrate Hope.
Making Christ-like Choices
Our faith-based rehab counselors use every tool at their disposal to encourage you to abandon self-defeating behavior and draw closer to the healing power of God. A major component of this process is an emphasis on making Christlike choices. By choosing to emulate Jesus, you can remain free from addiction in your daily thoughts and behaviors. We encourage these changes through a series of practical, applicable life skills trainings designed to foster independence, humility, inner strength, and virtue.
Life skills taught in the Celebrate Hope residential program include:
- Asking for help when you need it.
- Saying no to drugs, alcohol, and other worldly temptations.
- Taking recovery one step at a time.
- Making decisions based on your values and faith, not peer pressure.
- Establishing healthy communication with loved ones.
- Setting and protecting your own personal boundaries.
- Seeing yourself through the eyes of Christ.
- Abandoning unhealthy thought patterns that lead to addiction.
- Connecting with the Lord through prayer and scripture.
- Repairing relationships broken by addiction.
