About Youth Challenge of Ct Inc – Hartford, Connecticut

Youth Challenge of Connecticut is a substance abuse center that assists young adults over the age of 18 in Hartford, Connecticut. They’re licensed by the state of Connecticut and are operated by a church and so they take a religious approach to recovery.

This location has a residential treatment center for men and a residential treatment center for women, along with a second phase transitional center. They have a philosophy that if you develop confidence and self-respect you will enjoy life “through discipline, proper counsel and attitude.”

While staying at the residential facility, you will work, do house chores, and participate in individual and group activities to help you become a positive, responsible citizen once you graduate and move on.

Many of their former clients have noted that it was a life-changing experience that helped them and brought them closer to God. You do pay a small fee while living in the house each week, but most of the cost of the center is covered by donations.
