Russian Church takes on Addiction

One of my friends sent me this link from the Russian Orthodox Church's official website:

http://mospat.ru/en/2012/12/26/news78474/

(read the third paragraph)

I would love to get a translation of this “On the Russian Orthodox Church’s Participation in Rehabilitation of Drug Addicts”. If any of you have a source, please let me know. It should be worth it.

Mission

This blog is for Orthodox Christians, inquirers into the Orthodox Faith, and those seeking to understand the spirituality of addictions recovery, who are looking for information about addictions from an Orthodox perspective and news about efforts being made to combat this disease. 12-Step programs are usually not allied with any particular religion, but the assumption of the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous (the fathers of the 12-Step program) believed that the 12-Steps worked in conjunction with religion, rather than exclusive from it.
We Orthodox Christians in recovery have come to realize that the 12-Steps are indeed a simplified manifestation of the fullness of the Orthodox Faith. We believe that there are many people in recovery who are avoiding affiliation with religion because they are unknowingly seeking the True Church. We also believe there are many people in the Church suffering from their own denial of their disease, but don't know how to get help. This blog is for the suffering alcoholic and addict, Orthodox or not, who is seeking the healing of God. We are pointing the Way.
