Center of Addiction & Faith
Welcome to Addiction & Faith On-Demand — a space where faith meets recovery, and truth meets transformation.
We’re so glad you’re here.
This site was created for people of faith—clergy, lay leaders, and anyone seeking spiritual tools to confront addiction, trauma, and mental health challenges. Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply trying to understand the spiritual and human dimensions of addiction, you're in the right place.
Here, you’ll find exclusive access to high-quality, faith-informed video content from the Center of Addiction & Faith—recorded conferences, expert talks, spiritual reflections, and practical tools for healing and ministry. Each video is designed to educate, inspire, and equip you to better understand addiction and bring compassionate, informed leadership to your community.
Your subscription helps sustain this ministry, support those in recovery, and expand the reach of this vital message: Addiction is not a moral failing—it's a spiritual, psychological, and medical issue. And faith communities have a powerful role to play in healing it.
So explore, learn, reflect, and return often.
We believe healing happens here.
With grace and gratitude,
Rev. Ed Treat
