Addiction cuts across all demographics, and similar to people of any religion, even the most devout of Catholics can fall victim to addiction.
If a parish member falls victim to addiction, there are countless treatment centers if an individual wants true healing, and seeks a deeper truth. Sin has to be acknowledged in order to receive the curative aspects of the faith, and although this may be hard, the acknowledgement of wrong doing sets the mind and body free so that a person can fully heal from addiction.
