About Western Michigan Teen Challenge
Western Michigan Adult and Teen Challenge is a comprehensive, Christian faith focused residential program aimed to help individuals recover from substance use and any other life-controlling issues in Muskegon, Michigan. This location has a men’s program and a women’s program, and the programs last 12 to 13 months.
Their well-rounded community offers a warm place that highly prioritizes individual spiritual growth and personal well being. I can see how dedicated they are because they don’t turn anyone away based on finances.
Bible Centered Recovery
Daily devotions, classroom-type Bible lectures, individual sessions with counselors, and group therapy are all part of the core program here. Work assignments in the facility like kitchen service, communal projects or groundskeeping are done by residents to help cultivate responsibility and life skills.
The amenities here include private and semi-private rooms, communal dining, laundry, and common rooms. Chapel services are encouraged and help build a stronger relationship with God and your peers in treatment. I appreciate that their goal is a highly ordered and disciplined environment that simultaneously supports recovery and spiritual growth.
Fostering Future Ministry Leaders
A key offering is their Internship and Ministry Training Program, designed to train future leaders in ministry through theological studies and practical experience. They also have a "Hope Builders" volunteer program which connects residents with mentors for additional support and guidance.
