Our Mens and Womens programs are 12 month residential programs. We understand that this is a significant commitment and investment, and we have seen the positive results.
Our 12 month, Bible based program allows us to present numerous topics that expose, challenge, and direct men and women out of their addictions and into their recovery, while earning a certificate of graduation.
An application fee of $500 is required at the time of admission to the program. Students earn approximately half of their tuition by working at TC Resale thrift stores during their program. We are able to make some accommodations depending on need.
Our Mens’ and Womens’ campuses do not share facilities nor geographic proximity. We are committed to protecting our students’ spiritual progress.
Admission to the program requires that the student be fully detoxed before arriving. We do not currently have the capacity for medical care. If there are ongoing medical issues, please discuss with an intake coordinator.
Adult & Teen Challenge focuses on establishing and/or restoring a student’s relationship with Jesus Christ, in order that the student break the chains of bondage from addiction to drugs, alcohol, or from other life-controlling issues.
Our students take their recovery seriously. Some things that are not allowed in our program are tobacco use, cell phones, and secular music, and electronic devices.
