The problem we face with drug rehabilitation centres:  Drug addiction can lead to physical and mental disease and yet is not a disease of the brain. This should lead us to the common knowledge that the medication administered by secular drug rehabs or psychiatrists alone cannot cure it. Although many drug rehabs offer secular psychology programs that address mental and emotional issues they are still only addressing part of problem which is root of this “unexplainable” epidemic called addiction.

This leads us to the question “What is drug addiction?”.
Addiction is symptomatic of a person’s core beliefs which are formed by a variety of influences including parents, social and cultural networks, education, friends, media and religious beliefs.

In Dr W.A. Krige’s book “What if rehab fails” Dr. Krige says:

“Part of the problem we are going to discuss regarding the poor performance in most treatment programs, lies with this tendency to downplay the seriousness of dysfunctional behaviour by terming it with words which do not describe the harsh realities it causes.”

He also goes on to explain that the un-scriptural humanistic beliefs that are taught in secular drug rehabs has moved the focus from the absolute of truths of the Bible and replaced them with a post- modern world-view promoting relativism, humanism and many other forms of human philosophy. All this is done in the name of embracing tolerance and unity of faith.

In order to overcome addiction it is important to undertake spiritual reflection, address your beliefs and understand where they have come from. At House Regeneration we use an effective faith-based program which focuses on bringing out self-destructive beliefs to combat dysfunctional behaviour and addiction.

The Bible teaches that faith in Jesus can result in a new man with a new mind and nature. Our experienced and compassionate staff are trained in Biblical Therapy and use faith, the Bible and first hand experience to offer guidance and hope to people suffering from addiction.

The backbone of our extensive curriculum is presented by Dr Krige personally. It contains 4 major subjects namely; Biblical Therapy, Habits of the Mind, Empowering the Mind, New Beginnings.

The vision of House Regeneration was never to become just another drug rehab but rather offer a comprehensive discipleship training program. Our goal is to teach anyone who has suffered from addiction how to fully understand why they do what they do and how to bring their own belief systems in line with the Word of God.
