Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.
1 Corinthians 16:13
We believe that there is hope for every person trapped in addiction. Drug and alcohol use leads to feelings of guilt and despair, while the pain inside seems to be endless. At Teen Challenge, we offer a message of hope and freedom through a relationship with Jesus Christ. It is not just freedom from drugs or alcohol, but freedom from everything that would keep us from the destiny for which we were created. If you or a loved one needs help overcoming a life-controlling problem, we are here to help.
Who We Are
Chad's Hope Teen Challenge exists to provide men with an effective and comprehensive Christian faith-based solution to life controlling drug and alcohol problems in order to become productive members of society.
Chad's Hope Teen Challenge endeavors to help people become mentally sound, emotionally balanced, socially adjusted, physically well, and spiritually alive. We believe that treatment is key, but we are all about transformation.

What's Different
Q: Why is Teen Challenge one of the most effective drug recovery programs in America?
A: We know that to be successful an addict needs to move from a self-centered paradigm to a Christ-centered paradigm.
