Teen Challenge is an excellent faith based program. They do not "brainwash" you as the other review…read moresays. They will tell you and teach you about faith and trust in the Lord, Jesus Christ. It's up to you to accept HIM in your life or not. Many souls have been won for Christ through this program. Not just the attendees but, whole family's have come to know Jesus and accept HIM as their Savior. The 12 month program is for those who choose a long term rehab. Many have left before the end of the 3 month induction time, only to return within a few days after rethinking that they really need the program. Many inductees are Christians before they come to the program and it is why they choose TC for many types of addictions.. They also have a 3 month "restore" program for those who have relapsed. The great thing many of the men come to know is that when Jesus said, " I will make a way where you feel there is no way" HE meant it. TC is located in Cheswick, PA. The phone number is 724-265-4100 Judith Di Joseph

Our son graduated the program five years ago and is not only sober, but a "new man in Christ"…read more Working with addiction for many years in secular society and having experienced it first-hand, nothing worked before Teen Challenge. Anything good in this life requires Jesus Christ, first, front and center, plus a lot of hard work and soul searching whether dealing with addiction, marriage, education, raising God fearing children, careers and being a Christian. Fourteen months is very little and in reality, sanctification requires that we spend our whole life trying to become more Christ-like, but never reaching His perfection. I pray for all the entitled ones and their families who have no fruits of the spirit to recognize any need for self-discipline, rules, and the respect of others. This drains our society physically, emotionally and spiritually. Self-reflection, repentance, sacrifice, self-discipline and change are intrinsic for recovery. Research proves that those suffering from addiction who do not defeat it, end up dead, incarcerated or institutionalized. So 14 months is a small sacrifice for oneself, next to death, especially, if he or she has not been saved and enter an eternity of hell. The success rate is 90% for those who finish the T. C. program compared to 10% for secular programs. "Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world," John 4:4.
