Addiction is a recurrent and challenging condition, with no single psychotherapeutic approach demonstrating consistent long-term effectiveness to recovery. This study investigates the potential of a community-based, integrative approach—specifically missional communities (MCs) adopting a holistic body-mind-spirit-communal relationship (BMSC) framework—to support sustainable recovery. Drawing on twenty years of experience in addiction treatment, the researcher examines how MCs facilitate transformation across multiple stages of recovery, helping individuals once deemed incurable develop a renewed identity as disciples of Jesus and integrate into Christian communities and church life. The study addresses why many recovering individuals struggle to permanently abandon prior addictive behaviors, and explores the spiritual, communal, and psychosocial mechanisms that support lasting change. Guided by mixed-methods research, including qualitative interviews and quantitative measures, the study evaluates the impact of BMSC-based MCs on participants’ holistic recovery, participation in Christian communities and church, relationship with God, and commitment to discipleship. The findings aim to produce an evidence-based addiction recovery that provides practical guidance for pastors, counselors, social workers, and helpers, fostering holistic, spiritually grounded transformation and lifelong recovery.
