Alcohol & Drug Addiction and Recovery
Substance abuse can take many forms and have far-reaching impacts. If you or a loved one are struggling with alcoholism or drug addiction, we want to help.
As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ. If [one] part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if one part is honored, all the parts share its joy.
1 Corinthians 12:12,26
