About Teen Challenge Women’s Ministries – Knoxville
Teen Challenge Women’s Ministries of Tennessee is a residential, faith based addiction treatment facility for adult women in Knoxville, Tennessee. They also treat women who are struggling with a range of co-occurring, life changing issues, such as depression, abuse, and eating disorders. The program is free for qualifying clients.
The center is spread out across a few different buildings, including a house, administrative office, cafeteria, and classroom. In 2017, they gave the location a makeover by adding all new floors, appliances, paint, and landscaping. While they live here, the women can focus on working through the issues that have led to their drug and alcohol addictions. They’ll attend Bible studies, visit the chapel, and participate in on site activities like choir practice to develop healthy habits and life skills.
Most women stay in the program for 13 months. The goal is to help them become well on a mental, physical, and spiritual level so they can live fulfilling, drug free lives. That’s why there’s a work study component to the program, too. While the women won’t be required to leave the facility to work at a job, they are expected to help out around the house. This might include taking care of basic administrative tasks, doing the laundry, cleaning up the living spaces, and helping out with basic maintenance projects.
One past client called this program a great place to reclaim control of your life.
