ABOUT ADULT & TEEN CHALLENGE TRAINING CENTER, INC.
The Adult & Teen Challenge Training Center in Rehrersburg, Pennsylvania offers clinical and faith-based programming for adults and adolescents struggling with substance abuse issues. It provides a continuum of care for men, including detox, short-term residential treatment, and long-term residential treatment. Aftercare programs are also available in New York, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
The center offers a 20-bed detox unit where individuals with withdrawal symptoms can receive medically monitored care and support from a 24-hour staff. After stabilization, clients may transition to the short-term or long-term residential program.
The short-term residential program lasts an average of 30 days and provides highly individualized treatment addressing physical, psychological, sociological, and spiritual health. Counselors use a strengths-based, motivational approach and offer education on relapse prevention, coping, and life skills. Group counseling sessions and individual sessions are provided regularly.
The long-term residential treatment is faith-based and incorporates the 12 Step methodology. The program lasts 11 to 14 months and is divided into two phases. In phase one, clients reside in Induction Centers where they study the Word of God and learn how to live a life free from life controlling habits. After four months, they transition to the main campus for bible study and community service. G.E.D. programming is also available for clients seeking a high school diploma.
