Founder of Vision International College – Dr. Steve DeKoven –

Dr. DeKoven is the founder and director of Vision International University and has worked primarily as a marriage and family therapist in the areas of domestic violence and substance abuse. Substance abuse is an insidious problem people face. Everyone needs treatment as it not only affects the individual but the entire family as well. When people recognize they are really powerless and need help that is where true intervention can make a major difference. Choice is one of the keys a person struggling with substance abuse issues must realize to really get well. Because of the individual’s bio chemistry, genetics or personality, getting well for them means they can never drink or do drugs ever again. That can be a tough place for them to get to if that is all they’ve ever known. However, making that decision is essential and they needs lots of help. It takes a power greater than the individual or mental health provider or pastor. It takes the power of God to change a person’s life. There is help all over the place and we encourage you if you are struggling to find the help you need. Family members don’t give up hope because it is so important, and pray for your loved one that they will come to a place where they recognize the need for help. Try to get help for yourself, be strong and firm, and at the same time be loving and caring to them. Through God’s help lives can change. So stay encouraged to bring about the change that has to happen and God Bless You!
