About Adult and Teen Challenge of Philadelphia – Philadelphia
Adult and Teen Challenge of Philadelphia was a Christian based addiction and substance abuse treatment program for people 18 and older. It was a residential program. Their program combined faith based services with evidence based treatments for a comprehensive approach to treatment. They were located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Adult and Teen Challenge locations combine traditional, evidence based treatment methods with Christian fellowship. The faith component can serve as a powerful tool for those who already believe and open new avenues for those who don’t. If you’re opposed to a faith based approach, these centers may not be for you.
The Philadelphia location encouraged involvement in the ministry team. This offered opportunities to help with the organization’s outreach efforts in various ways. It was another means of skill development and cultivating faith.
The Philadelphia location has since closed, but Adult and Teen Challenge has multiple locations, including in Pennsylvania. Services offered may vary between locations, but the underlying principles of Christian faith underscore their mission.
