Transformative Counseling: Dr. Louis Samaritano on Faith and Addiction

Recovery is for unbelievers. But I, like you, know actually just it's really fellowshipping around God's work together.
Feeling lost in the maze of addiction recovery? This episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast' might be the guiding light you need. Dr. Louis Samaritano, a seasoned biblical counselor, joins Dr. Mark E. Shaw for an enlightening conversation about the power of faith-based counseling in overcoming addiction. They kick off with a reflection on Galatians 2:20, setting the stage for a deep dive into the spiritual and practical aspects of recovery. Dr.
Samaritano shares his personal journey and the mission behind his ministry in Sayville, New York, where he offers compassionate support to those grappling with addiction. The discussion highlights the importance of community and fellowship in applying scripture to our lives, emphasizing that we're not meant to walk this path alone. As September marks National Recovery Month, the episode shifts focus to the idea of transformation over mere recovery. Dr. Shaw and Dr.
Samaritano explore how biblical counseling goes beyond surface-level fixes, aiming for a profound change rooted in God's truth. They touch on the unique aspects of biblical counseling, the expectations of those seeking help, and how personal transformation is key to lasting recovery. Whether you're personally struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement.
