Syracuse Teen Challenge - Drug Rehab

Teen Challenge is a faith-based drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility, which believes in a total cure for the whole man. In 1958, David Wilkerson went to New York City to minister to the "street kids" who were involved in fighting in the streets and in crime of every sort. At that time Reverend Wilkerson was not aware of the fact that along with the incredible rate of crime, there existed an even more menacing problem... DRUG ABUSE!

Today, Teen Challenge has grown to be the largest non-profit, private endeavor of it's kind in the world. Teen Challenge has male and female centers for both adults and juveniles. Presently Teen Challenge has 202 centers in the United States and Puerto Rico, and almost 800 worldwide.

WHAT WE DO...

Teen Challenge provides the help needed by both men and women to be reestablished in society after they have addressed, through counseling and biblical teachings, their life-controlling problems. Teen Challenge helps restore broken lives!

HOW?

Students are involved in a loving and well-disciplined environment. This includes counseling, group interaction, religious activities, academic instruction, recreation and vocational training. Community outreach programs and church attendance are required.

Students go through our program in 2 phases and upon successful completion they have the opportunity to move toward additional training and education or return home.

PROOF OF SUCCESS...

After completion of the program, 72 percent of Teen Challenge graduates continue their education, 75 percent are employed, 87.5 percent do not require additional treatment for substance abuse, and 92 percent report good-to-excellent health. In short, Teen Challenge transforms drug addicts who are blights to their communities into valuable citizens who are benefits to their communities. More information on actual studies conducted on the program can be found on our national website: www.teenchallengeusa.com.
