TRT: Measuring Outcomes

TRT is proven to work with efficacy rates well over 80 percent over periods of long term recovery, over three years. TRT participants with more than three years since being in active therapy profess that they continue to maintain a discipline of recovery. Many have slipped into phases of relapse, including a return to engaging in addictive behavior. However, most return to a lifestyle of active recovery.

 

How do they do it? Recovering individuals that have maintained consistent lifestyle patterns of recovery committed to the ABC steps of TRT, experience in a tangible way the transforming power of God in their recovery. They don’t merely survive sober, they thrive sober and seek God daily for what they want and hope for in their recovery. They pray daily and specifically for what they want in recovery, confident that what they want in recovery reflects the desires and expectations they believe that Gods wants for them in recovery.

 

It is very much a reciprocal relationship and symbiotic relationship. Symbiotic in this case does not suggest that God and humans are separate species but rather addresses the connection between natural man and supernatural God. The measurable outcomes may not appear to be empirical in a scientific sense but by the evidence of bona fide recovery of the addicted individual experiencing restoration physically, psychologically and spiritually. Outcomes are measured by reconciliation throughout key relationships and circumstantial recovery (professional, financial).

About Steven Gledhill

My name is Steven Gledhill, a certified substance use disorder (SUD) professional of more than two decades. I am narried with three sons and two grandsons. I recognize that every person who's ever lived is subject to the human condition, valuing self and the need for control above all else. Therefore, all are inclined to be self-centered with the preoccupation to be absolutely satisfied and comfortable. The prerequisite for satisfying comfort is the control that all seek and that none attain. Furthermore, all of us are vulnerable to temptation and challenged desperately to resist it. We have all given ourselves over to human desire and have fallen to temptation and engaged in behavior that has potential for harm and so we all have experienced harm. We have all have experienced the pain and discomfort associated with unfavorable outcomes from self-centered behavior to one degree or another. It is only in relationship with God through Jesus Christ that anyone and everyone has the opportunity for restoration from the ills of self-centered thinking and behavior. Faith in the living God when realized through experience, appeals most to our intellectual sensibilities. Transformed by a renewed mind, it is reasonable to anticipate that God is involved with us becuase of his love for us. Relationship with God is reasonable and is as real as anything you have ever seen, heard, touched, smelled, and tasted. The Bible says, "Taste and see that the Lord is good. (The word, Lord, speak's to God's sovereignty; something even Albert Einstein believed about God.)
