Long Island Teen Challenge is a locally operated, Christ-Centered, non-profit organization offering aid, support and FREE residential care to men, women and families suffering life-controlling problems with drugs, alcohol or crime. For over 15 years we have offered practical solutions to people in need and those who love them. |

Prevention, intervention and residential programs target families and children "at risk" helping them to become mentally sound, emotionally balanced, socially adjusted, physically well, and spiritually alive. Assistance (a hand up-not a hand out) is provided, without regard to race, social background, religion or creed.

| For over 12 years, Long Island Teen Challenge has offered 15 months of FREE care to individuals with life-controlling problems. As a fully certified, credentialed affiliate of Teen Challenge International we utilize the treatment protocol whose success has been proven in 58 different countries for over 44 years. This track record of success that has baffled the medical community and amazed investigators makes our program a well-recognized resource to the courts, community, and concerned citizens. |
|
The Program: The young men and women enter Phase 1 to move from "at risk" surroundings, confront the opportunity to live drug-free and make basic life decisions in a structured environment. Teen Challenge offers not only environmental change and detox, but practical life skills to cope with the roots of their addiction. They complete 14 group studies, 8 Character studies and 8 personal studies in the academic division, job skills training in the vocational division and social interaction within 4 months. Following completion of these studies they are awarded a graduation certificate and advance to Phase II.
After completing the entire program the students are encouraged to commit 6 months to the program as EPT (Extended Training Program) where they receive interactive mentorship. |
