About Teen Challenge Programs

Teen Challenge Programs represent one of the most established faith-based approaches to addiction recovery in the United States. Built around long-term Christian residential recovery programs for adults and adolescents, the program offers a Christ-centered alternative to purely secular recovery models.

Teen Challenge is a long-term Christian residential recovery program founded in 1958 by Reverend David Wilkerson. Despite the name, the program serves adults as well as adolescents struggling with addiction and other life-controlling problems. Teen Challenge centers offer intensive residential programs that typically last 12 to 18 months and combine Christian discipleship, biblical education, work therapy, vocational training, and recovery support. The program has hundreds of centers across the United States and operates internationally, with a long track record of success in helping participants achieve lasting recovery.
