There are several facilities which cater to all addicitions and emotional crises for Catholic clergy and 'religious" ( that is, nuns and brothers, 'monks') It is an aspect of health care which has always been a concern for the Church since its beginning and is new in the sense that modern psychiatrity-psychology have discovered a chemical, emotional component to what used be seen only as "sin" or "moral weakness"/ "failure." Those programs integrate recovery with spirituality. There are also many facilities which cater specifically to other professionals for all addictions, where the "disease" such as alcoholism, is usually only a manifestation of the actual sickness which is in the soul with its emotional and other roots. Wholeistic health care is still in its infancy.
