About Miracle Lake Inc
Miracle Lake Christian Training Center in Etowah, Tennessee, uses Biblical methods to treat men with substance use disorders. By initiating a relationship with Jesus Christ, students accept His diagnosis as sin and substance use as a life habit that can be controlled. They opened back in 1980.
The rustic center sits on over 170 acres and offers walking trails around a lake that’s 11 acres, which promotes recovery and relaxation. The beauty of God’s creation all around the trail is a reminder of why each student has come for help and change.
Men attend Bible classes, group and recreational therapy, individual and marriage counseling and worship services. Job placement programs are also available for those who need help finding steady work.
Treatment Length in Three Programs
There are three different tracks students can enroll in. The first is an established 12 weeks. The second ends when the student has succeeded in treatment.
The third part is a transitional living program after completing phase one or two. The transitional living program is a facility at a different location.
Addiction Treatment in Five Phases
God’s regeneration program consists of five phases. The first phase is to repent, which means to change your mind. Students must decide that instead of doing whatever they want they will serve God.
The second phase is having faith that God alone can deliver you and set you free from your addiction. The third phase, mind renewal, is the process of reprogramming your mind so that you can live a Christian lifestyle.
The fourth phase is to learn to become interdependent on other Christians, “the church”. Christians depend on the prayers and help of other Christians to overcome obstacles.
The fifth phase is the life beyond. We serve God and strive to live Godly so that we can reap the rewards promised to us by the Father.

Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
When your day-to-day life is taken over by drug use, this is known as substance use disorder. If you abruptly stop using your drug of choice, you experience withdrawal symptoms. To overcome this cycle, professional drug rehab in Tennessee is usually needed.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
While engaged in couples therapy in Tennessee, you'll learn how to trust, communicate, forgive, and manage emotions. Developing these skills can be beneficial at any time during the relationship, but they are particularly crucial when facing life challenges.
Family therapy uses a structured environment to address the complexities of addiction and the negative influences it has on the family unit. Therapists work with family members to develop effective coping and communication strategies that support their loved one's recovery while also focusing on the health and well being of each family member.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.
