Empowering the Church to be a resource for those suffering from addictions and their families
Hope and Healing
iTHIRST Spiritual Companionship is available in the Columbus Diocese with trained companions who desire to walk with families and adults one-to-one who are struggling with the spiritual disease of substance use disorder in their Parish or diocese.
Faith-Based Support for Addiction Recovery
iThirst is an initiative of the Missionary Servants of the Holy Trinity. The program recognizes that addiction is not only a physical and mental health issue, but also a spiritual malady. By providing faith-based, compassionate confidential guidance, spiritual friendship, education, local resources and ongoing support and aftercare, trained spiritual companions serve adults recovering from substance use disorder and their families with their spirtuality as a source of hope, healing and purpose.
Recognizing the lack of spiritual care in conventional recovery programs, iTHIRST's training program for Spiritual Companions, accredited through Seton Hall University, fills this gap by creating a network of trainted individuals who provide spiritual companionship for those in recovery in their local area. This focus on spirtual healing addresses our fundamental human need for connection, purpose, and inner peace--which is often neglected in traditional addiction treatment programs.
Support with Compassion and Dignity
Substance use disorder affects millions of people worldwide, and its impact extends to family, friends, and communities. The journey to recovery is often long and challenging, requiring not only professional help, but also personal support that honors human dignity and addresses the whole person: mind, body, and spirit.
