What Does Faith-Based Mean?
We believe at the heart of a transformed life is faith in God. It shifts perspectives, shapes behavior, and instills positive values that allow for holistic healing. For those struggling with addiction, our experience shows that true and lasting freedom begins with seeking a personal relationship with Jesus. This spiritual foundation is central to every aspect of the Adult & Teen Challenge programs. It’s why faith-based counseling is core to our approach, and it’s the reason so many of our graduates live free from the chains of addiction.
