The Program: The young men 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.

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.

In 2002 we built an extension to our Men's "Crisis" Home adding another 15 beds to the facility. Within 14 days of project completion, every new bed was full!
