<p><strong>ABOUT TEEN CHALLENGE - PORTLAND METRO CAMPUS</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. The Portland Metro Campus, located on a tree-lined street in the Lents neighborhood in southeast Portland, offers a <strong>long-term, residential, Christian discipleship program for men only.</strong></p> <p>Elsewhere in Portland, Teen Challenge operates the <a href="https://www.rehabs.com/listings/teen-challenge-eugene-women-s-center-416161492/" target="_blank">Eugene Women's Center</a> and <a href="https://www.rehabs.com/listings/central-oregon-teen-challenge-1718045107/" target="_blank">Central Oregon Teen Challenge</a> in Bend.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>The program lasts <strong>at least 12 months,</strong> during which time Teen Challenge aims to "help people to become mentally sound, emotionally balanced, socially adjusted, physically well, and spiritually alive," primarily through <strong>Bible-based programming and work therapy.</strong> The treatment ethos is that residents may be healed of their addiction by establishing or restoring their relationships with Jesus.</p> <p>Though the facility's website does not at present specify what sort of work residents are expected to complete, there's a Teen Challenge thrift store in Portland; such thrift stores usually employ those participating in Teen Challenge programming.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Teen Challenge centers are not medical facilities and do not employ medical professionals. There is currently no further information provided by the facility regarding its treatment staff, however, the single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date on the staff's level of training and experience gave it three out of five stars.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Teen Challenge programs are <strong>tobacco-free,</strong> and do not allow cell phones, secular music, or electronic devices. In addition, <strong>medications used to treat anxiety, depression, and other disorders are prohibited.</strong> During their stay, residents may communicate with their immediate families only; this does not include girlfriends or boyfriends. The single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date on the center's accommodations, meals/nutrition, cleanliness, and exercise/leisure offerings gave them five, five, four, and three stars respectively.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Secondary sites yielded <strong>almost exclusively positive coverage of Teen Challenge's Portland Metro Campus</strong> at the time of this writing: the center had a 4.9-star average rating based on 50 reviews on Facebook (where the facility can manage its own page) and a 4.3-star average rating based on seven reviews on Google.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> The reviewers <strong>repeatedly expressed their gratitude to the facility for the changes it had wrought in their lives:</strong> "I owe my life to this organization! I am eternally grateful for the support and love I received! I have a new family here, and a new outlook on life! Love you all!" C.K. wrote in a representative review on Facebook.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>Both of the loved ones polled by Rehabs.com to date gave mostly positive feedback, both <strong>praising the length of the program as a strength of treatment,</strong> and both indicating that Teen Challenge's Portland Metro Campus had been successful for themloved ones who had successfully completed treatment, though one reviewer added: "1family member quit 3months into program." "Teen Challenge focuses on a new beginning, HOPE, options, opportunities, how do I apply my new habits to my new life outside of treatment," the other anonymous reviewer added. One of the two reviewers was polled on the center's performance in a variety of treatment metrics, and gave it four stars for its family participation and holistic offerings, and three stars for its counseling options and ability to treat co-occurring disorders.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>There's an admission fee of $500, following which the cost of treatment is covered by residents' earnings during work therapy and by donations to the program. The single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date on the center's affordability gave it four out of five stars.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/Portland-Metro-Campus-of-Pacific-Northwest-Adult-Teen-Challenge-168256863220827/reviews/?ref=page_internal" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/Portland-Metro-Campus-of-Pacific-Northwest-Adult-Teen-Challenge-168256863220827/reviews/?ref=page_internal</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://goo.gl/P8xiMN" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/P8xiMN</a></small></p>
