Christian Counseling for Chemical Dependency: Breaking the Chains

For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.– Galatians 5:1

Chemical dependency can have extremely detrimental effects on every area of your life. In our society, however, substance abuse and addiction to substances such as drugs or alcohol is frequently looked down on to such an extent that those suffering from chemical dependency often won’t seek the help they need to get free. The counselors at Redmond Christian Counseling know that chemical dependency is a very real, very serious medical condition that requires professional, compassionate treatment. If chemical dependency is affecting you or someone close to you, we can offer you a safe environment in which to pursue healing and freedom.

If you are affected by chemical dependency, let us help you break the chains. Schedule an appointment or get more information by calling us at 425-250-6282. Click here to look over our directory of counselors.
