Christian Treatment Path
Experience has taught us that eating disorders, drug and alcohol addiction, and PTSD / trauma impact all aspects of a woman's being:
Physically
Emotionally
Relationships with family and friends
...and especially her Spirit
The Timberline Knolls approach to residential treatment is holistic and spiritually empowering. Our core spirituality program, led by an ordained minister, helps each woman to find commonality with her peers who may have different religious beliefs, or none at all.
Individualized Christian Treatment
Many women and their loved ones are interested in the role of faith and spirituality in a Bible-centered or faith-based recovery program, a Christian rehab center or in Christian residential treatment centers.
At Timberline Knolls, all women participate daily in spiritual activities. Programming each day begins with a daily devotional.
Many Christian women also work with their primary therapist to create an individualized Christian treatment program to restore or deepen their faith.
Each Timberline Knolls therapist and staff member understands they work with residents of all religious beliefs. A Christian woman who seeks to enrich her treatment and therapy with a Biblical or faith-based emphasis can request at admission to work with a Christian therapist. Christian-based therapy helps women discover and work through emotional and spiritual obstacles that prevent them from experiencing God's purpose and plan for life.
At her request, a woman's treatment team will include a Christian therapist, a licensed, full-time therapist with training in biblical based counseling. Our Christian therapists believe in the principles of the 12 steps; they also use biblical comparisons to 12 steps principles as a foundation for the beginning of the recovery process.
Christ-Centered Recovery
Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center provides resources and support a woman seeking Christian treatment needs to place her relationship with Christ at the center of her recovery from anorexia, bulimia, drug and alcohol addiction, or PTSD / trauma.
- Staff supports residents following a Christian treatment path by helping them identify and attend church services that meet their needs. Weekly attendance at off-campus religious services not only allows residents to worship and reflect, but also to connect with the local Christian community.
- Additionally, Christian women can enrich their residential treatment program by choosing daily or weekly elective groups that focus on prayer and Bible studies. Elective Christian programming is led both by staff and by residents. This fosters a larger sense of community with staff that helps women keep their faith at the center of their treatment and recovery.
- Christian therapists work with expressive therapists to help women and teens explore their relationship with Christ through creative arts. The arts may also help women find new ways to express their faith, and develop new confidence that they can share it with others in the recovering community.
- Staff arranges weekly volunteer activities, which allow Christian women to practice living Christ's message of service to the less fortunate in our community.
- Women interact daily with Nature on our tranquil, 43-acre campus. No matter the season, the natural beauty of their environment helps Timberline Knolls residents experience God's distinct purpose in creation, and to consciously connect with Him.
Growing Through Christian Treatment
A Christian residential treatment program at Timberline Knolls also offers women and girls the opportunity to deepen their understanding of Christ and to build on their relationship with Him through Pastoral Counseling. Our partnership with Meier Clinics, a leading nationwide provider of Christian counseling, allows our treatment staff to arrange access to leading outpatient Christian treatment providers who are skilled in Pastoral and Biblical counseling. It also allows women opportunities to continue Christian treatment as part of their aftercare plan at Meier outpatient counseling centers in several cities.
