SUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELING 518-915-1707

NOTE: If you are actively using drugs or alcohol, then you need to seek detox and/or either a residential or a drug free counseling program in your community. Telephone counseling is only for those who have been drug free for at least 90 days. Research indicates that for most clients, the threshold of significant improvement is reached at about 3 months in treatment. After this threshold is reached, additional treatment such as we provide can produce further progress toward recovery. Substance abuse counseling by telephone is powerful and effective as a one-on-one strategy to engage and keep a patient in from relapsing. Enhanced spirituality will be achieved as counselor and client address and refine those aspects of personality and lifestyle that have served as detriments to full recovery.

The RIC Program: A Christian Alternative to 12 Steps

PAM SHEPPARD has more than 3 decades of professional secular experience, 25 of those years in the field of substance abuse. The founder and the author of a bible based Christ-centered option, the RIC Program---Recovery in Christ--- RIC is based upon 7 Keys as derived from the words of Jesus Christ in Matthew 16:16-19. In this text, Jesus declared that Peter's revelation that Jesus is the Christ earned for Peter the keys to the kingdom. Keys to the kingdom have the capacity to unlock the knowledge, wisdom and power of the kingdom. The kingdom is the realm of the spirit.

KEYS TO THE KINGDOM are available to ANYONE who believes on Peter's affirmation to Jesus: "YOU ARE THE MESSIAH, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD."

Therefore, In our counselors' language of recovery, Jesus is not merely one of the higher powers. No. Jesus Christ of Nazareth must be your HIGHEST, ONLY POWER. Jesus must be the one to whom YOUR knees bow and YOUR tongue confesses that He is YOUR Lord!

Anointing is the supernatural power of Christ. Jesus declared that He is anointed to break yokes and bring recovery to those who are in bondage by setting free those who have been bruised. (Luke 4:18) Since Jesus said that the kingdom of God is within YOUR SPIRIT, an initial foundational premise of recovery in Christ is that through His anointing, the addict in recovery has access to total recovery and restoration.

Instead of 12 Steps, RIC is based on 7 keys: Repentance, Resurrection, Rebirth, Revelation, Resistance, Renewal, and Restoration. Like 12 STEPS, we work the 7 keys with affirmations, principles and practices.
