<p><strong>ABOUT GREATER PHOENIX TEEN CHALLENGE</strong></p> <p>Teen Challenge is a national, nonprofit network of faith-based rehabilitation programs for people of all ages, founded by the Reverend David Wilkerson in New York in 1958. Greater Phoenix Teen Challenge, located slightly northwest of Downtown Phoenix, offers a <strong>long-term, residential Christian discipleship program for adult males aged 18+.</strong></p> <p>Teen Challenge Arizona also runs facilities in <a href="https://www.rehabs.com/listings/teen-challenge-of-arizona-inc-home-of-hope-85046529/" target="_blank">Casa Grande</a>, Tucson, and elsewhere in Phoenix.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>The program runs <strong>a minimum of 13 months,</strong> during which time Greater Phoenix Teen Challenge aims to help its residents to become "mentally sound, emotionally balanced, socially adjusted, physically well and spiritually alive."</p> <p>According to <a href="http://teenchallengephoenix.com/about/" target="_blank">a blog run by Teen Challenge Phoenix</a>, the application process includes a interview, paperwork, and a health screening. Once they've been admitted to the program, residents are kept busy every day with a schedule of <strong>devotions, Bible study, work projects, chapel services, discipleship training, and recreational activities.</strong> Greater Phoenix Teen Challenge does not at present provide any further details about its treatment program, but other Teen Challenge locations typically keep residents busy with work projects for numerous hours a day, with the goal of instilling a healthy work ethic.</p> <p>By way of <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">aftercare</a>, residents are encouraged to play an active role in their local community colleges and churches.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>The leadership team for Teen Challenge Arizona includes several reverends; however, there are no medical professionals on staff.
