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”.

Facts About Jacksonville Treatment Centers

Addiction is a deeply personal disease. In fact, you may have little in common with other addicts you meet.

You might take the same drugs, and you might have struggled with the same addiction consequences, but your medical histories, educational levels and mental health status might be quite varied. Since each addiction is different, a program that works for someone else might not work for you. In order to heal, you’ll need a program that’s designed just for you. In Jacksonville, there are many programs that can provide you with this customized approach, although finding just the right Jacksonville drug treatment center might mean asking many questions.Benefits of Being Admitted Into Treatment

People who have been through rehabilitation for a drug or alcohol addiction often describe their programs in reverent terms. Attend just one meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous and you might hear recovering addicts talk about how their programs helped them to:

While it’s possible that some people could obtain these benefits on their own without the help of a rehabilitation program, it’s also likely that some people could never recover without help. Addictions isolate you, and make it hard for you to make good decisions, so it might be difficult for you to step back from your life and make the crucial decisions you’ll need to make in order to stay sober. Of all of the benefits Jacksonville drug rehabilitation centers can provide, the largest benefit might involve education. With the help of a counselor, you’ll learn how addictions have changed your body and your mind, and you’ll learn how to keep an addiction at bay in the future.

Comparing Treatment in Jacksonville

There are many different ways to compare your Jacksonville options. You might choose, for example, to focus exclusively on programs that provide care on an inpatient basis. According to a study in the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs, inpatient programs for alcoholism were slightly more effective than outpatient programs, but those in outpatient programs did also recover. Inpatient programs might be an appropriate choice for you if you’ve tried to control your addiction in the past and were unable to do so. Outpatient recovery program programs might be a better choice if you have a strong support system at home and you are very motivated to change.

Comparing by Cost

Some rehabilitation programs cater to those with a larger amount of discretionary funds. These programs might be expensive, but if you’re accustomed to the finer things in life, these programs might help you to feel more at ease. Similarly, some programs offer treatment options on a sliding fee scale. These programs might be more appropriate for you if your budget is tight and money is a concern.

There’s no shame in comparing programs by cost. In fact, cost comparisons might be an excellent way for you to determine which programs are likely to provide you with care that will help you feel comfortable.
