Bethesda's 12 Gate Program is unique in that it's based on the biblical account of Nehemiah rebuilding the wall of protection around Jerusalem. Just as the walls of Jerusalem had to be restored for the city's well-being, protection, and livelihood - the walls and gates of an addict's life must also be restored. So over the course of the 12 week program, clients learn about each of the 12 gates revealed in the book of Nehemiah and that are expounded upon in other books of the Bible. As you learn about each of these gates, you will pray specific prayers, take specific actions and learn about the spiritual, emotional and physical aspect of addiction. You will see how each phase of restoration is reliant upon the other phases. As the gates of your life are restored you will gain new boundaries for your new life. You'll become empowered to build trust in yourself and others, and they will help you plan for a future of chemical-free living. Rather than being enslaved to your addiction and inward thinking, you'll learn to look to Jesus and to others for help now and in the future. Never again will your life be self-centered, but will be Christ and other-centered."
