Module 8 - 12 Weeks
     Addiction & Recover Models

This 12-week module equips students to understand addiction from a Biblical perspective and to sort through the differing theories and modalities usually brought to bear on chemical and behavioral dependency. A more thorough understanding of the 12-Step model and the "Christian" modifications will be presented, as well as options that are more viable and gain far greater results and that do not integrate non-Biblical approaches.
