Doctrinal basis. Published by P&R, which publishes according to the Westminster Confession.
Points to weigh
- It describes addiction chiefly as a spiritual problem. Physical dependence can need medical supervision, for example when stopping alcohol; see a doctor.
- Biblical counseling is not a substitute for medical or clinical care. If you or someone you know is in crisis or danger, call your local emergency number or, in the U.S., call or text 988.
