Gerry Brown

Founder and President U-Turn For Christ - Gold Hill

Pastor Gerry Brown comes from a family of fifteen brothers and sisters, and is therefore family oriented. After many years of struggling with the sin of addiction, finding himself in divorce court with a Judge warning him that he was about to ruin his life, he agreed to do whatever his lovely wife Peggy wanted for him to get his family back. Peggy’s one requirement was for Gerry to attend church with her. Gerry agreed, not realizing God would get a hold of his heart and change his life forever. That was over twenty years ago. Today he is the Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Romoland and also the founder and President of U-Turn For Christ. His unique shoot-from-the-hip style of teaching gets right to the heart of the matter, and the meat of the Word. His powerfully unique style of delivering God’s Word will both challenge and encourage you to new levels of maturity in your walk with Jesus, as we draw from God’s design for living, and discover new insights to God’s “Truth and Love in Action”.

Selecting Boston Rehab Services
Boston drug rehab centers often promote their work by discussing how therapy could help you to stop using drugs and start living a healthier, sober lifestyle. While it’s true that any drug addiction program has the primary goal of helping clients to stop using drugs for good, these programs might also help you in ways you never thought possible. For example, Boston drug treatment programs might even help you to overcome major depression or other mental illnesses.Benefits of Enrolling in a Treatment Program

Mental illnesses and drug addictions often go hand in hand. The drugs can change the way your brain works on a chemical level, and these changes can make it harder for you to feel happy and fulfilled when you don’t have access to drugs. While anyone who uses drugs can be impacted with mental illness, research conducted in Boston suggests that those with lower levels of education might have an even stronger tendency toward mental illness in addiction.

In an addiction recovery program, you’ll learn more about how addictions can change the way you think and the way you feel, and you’ll learn specific techniques that can help you to overcome the damage. When it comes to addiction and mental illness, knowledge is power, and you can get that knowledge in Boston addiction treatment programs.

Do I Have Depression?

It can be hard to differentiate between symptoms of addiction and symptoms of depression, as the two conditions tend to cause the same types of problems. However, these symptoms are commonly associated with depression, and they should prompt a talk with a doctor:

If you have a mental illness in addition to your addiction, you’ll need to choose a program that specializes in providing care for both problems at the same time. Dealing with the addiction, while leaving the mental illness in place, is never a good idea as the mental illness can cause you such distress that a relapse to drug use becomes more and more likely. Similarly, dealing with only the mental illness can allow your addiction to grow stronger, which could make your mental illness symptoms worse. Programs that provide care for both problems at the same time will provide you with the kind of long-lasting help you’ll need in order to truly heal.

There are many of these dual diagnosis programs in the Baltimore area, but if you need help determining which program might be best for you, we can help. Call us to be connected to an operator for a free consultation. We can find a program that’s right for you.
