We Support Local Ministries

Adult & Teen Challenge of the Upper Cumberland:

Adult & Teen Challenge offers a residential recovery program for adult women who want freedom from addiction. Residents actively participate in Bible studies and receive Christian guidance while living in a structured and supportive environment. While residents are in the crisis portion of our program they receive assistance with legal issues, as well as placement into a Christian long-term Adult & Teen Challenge discipleship program. Their facility houses up to ten women at a time.

Why A Crisis Center?

Many long-term Teen Challenge centers have waiting lists and it is often difficult for addicts to take the steps needed to be admitted. A crisis center helps the addict adjust to a structured, family-type environment before transitioning into long-term treatment. Since opening in 2009, they have found that women who have the benefit of staying at their crisis center are better adjusted than their peers who may enter long-term treatment directly from jail or off the street.

Teen Challenge International

Teen Challenge was started in 1958 by Rev. David Wilkerson, and today, there are over 1,000 Teen Challenge centers in the world. It is the largest, most successful addiction recovery program of its kind. The centers offer 12-18 month residential programs that are designed to help men, women, and adolescents learn how to live drug-free lives by offering a balance of structured living, Bible classes, work assignments, and recreation.

Other Services

While they currently only offer residential treatment for adult women, Teen Challenge of the Upper Cumberland also offers referral and placement services for men, adolescents, and families. They assist them with navigating legal issues and completing the requirements needed for placement into a long-term Teen Challenge center. They offer non-residential weekly addiction recovery classes for the local community. Stay Sharp is their drug abuse prevention program that they present to area schools and youth organizations.
