Additional Information
Important Note: The following resources may contain articles written to directly or indirectly promote certain products or services. Some may also contain affiliate links (ads, product reviews, service finders etc) to businesses, for which the listing site receives compensation for referrals. We therefore urge our readers to do independent research, use discernment, and take the typical precautions before entering any personal information or doing business with any unfamiliar organization.
We attempt to link only those who take the privacy of their readers seriously (see our policy for submitting resource links). We also periodically review these links for privacy issues, but we still strongly advise our readers to review the “Terms of Use”, “Privacy Policy” and other similar pages for every third-party site that you visit to determine what personal information is collected and shared with others.

A listing should not be considered an endorsement of the organization or its products and/or services. We are not affiliated with, nor do we receive compensation of any kind (financial or otherwise), from any of these organizations or listings. Links are posted solely for containing useful information that may be of interest to our readers. We welcome comments and feedback (both positive and negative) from our readers on any of the organizations listed on this page. Any organization receiving legitimate complaints will be removed.
Also note that many sites may use independent contributors whose qualifications / credentials are self-proclaimed and have not been verified by the host site. Most “expert advice” should be taken as “general information only” rather than as a substitute for advice from known professionals.
Regarding addiction treatment, counseling and similar services, many secular organizations are now increasingly offering “faith-based” options in various programs. Many of these organizations promote faith in a generic “higher power” or “god of your own choosing” (whether of not this “god” actually exists), so if you are a Christian, you may be dealing with an organization that is primarily humanistic and/or counselors with a completely different worldview (may also vary by local centers and individual counselors). Other centers may downplay or even deny the moral aspect of addictions altogether, limiting themselves to addressing the physical aspects of addictions only. We therefore recommend that believers do some research and ask a lot of questions. These secular organizations still may provide some helpful programs along with support of fellow members, promotion of a positive attitude etc. We are aware that many people have been helped by some of these organizations. However, only Biblical and Christ-centered programs based on faith in the one true living God can offer the life-changing power of the Holy Spirit.
