Adult & Teen Challenge

Faith-based residential program · Faith-based (Christian), long-term residential · In person

A faith-based, long-term residential program (typically 12 to 18 months) offering Christ-centered recovery through discipleship and mentoring, with more than 215 centers across the US and Canada.

Overview

Unlike the mutual-aid groups elsewhere on this menu, Adult & Teen Challenge is a residential program: a bigger commitment for people who want immersive, structured support.

How the approach works

Residents live on-site for an extended program built around discipleship, mentoring, work, and study.

Who might find it useful

People looking for immersive, long-term, faith-centered residential support rather than a weekly meeting.

What to expect

An application process and a long-term residential stay. Find a center through their site.
