<p><strong>ABOUT TEEN CHALLENGE MIDSOUTH ADULT CENTER</strong></p> <p>Located in downtown Chattanooga, Tenn., Teen Challenge Midsouth Adult Center aims to provide <strong>adult men and women</strong> with “an effective and comprehensive faith-based solution to drug and alcohol addiction and other life-controlling problems.” Taking place in separate, <strong>gender-specific environments</strong>, the <strong>12-month program is completed over the course of four distinct phases</strong>, each of which carries a unique set of recovery goals and objectives.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>The 12-month program at Teen Challenge Midsouth Adult Center is broken down into the following four phases: <strong>Critical Care, Introduction/Evangelism, Character Application/Discipleship, and Life Skills</strong>. Throughout this time, participants also follow an accompanying curriculum of <strong>14 workbooks and manuals</strong> designed to help them change their attitudes and behaviors, set and achieve realistic goals, develop deeper levels of self-awareness, and more. The curriculum is also quite <strong>structured on a day-to-day basis</strong>, beginning with a 6:30 a.m. wake up and ending with lights out at 10 p.m.</p> <p>In Critical Care, the first 30 days of treatment, men and women take care of their most immediate needs. They’ll <strong>establish a routine</strong>, adjust to their new surroundings, and <strong>form a treatment plan</strong> alongside their assigned counselor.</p> <p>The next four months are spent with an inward focus. In Introduction/Evangelism, participants cultivate a <strong>positive outlook on the future</strong>, learn “how to apply God’s Word to life,” and attend <strong>classes in anger and forgiveness</strong>.</p> <p>Also four months in length, Character Application/Discipleship offers men and women opportunity for <strong>helping others through the process</strong>. They’ll focus on mending broken relationships and begin <strong>seeking out employment</strong> at this point.</p> <p>In the final two months, Life Skill participants have their eyes on the future. They’ll <strong>join a church</strong>, learn practical skills like <strong>budgeting, resume writing, and job searching</strong>, and cut old ties, focusing instead on restored family relationships.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Teen Challenge Midsouth Adult Center features a large team of program directors, counselors, and administrative staff. All clients are assigned a counselor upon entry, there to help with everyday issues and challenges.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Teen Challenge Midsouth Adult Center is situated on a <strong>seven-acre campus</strong> in downtown Chattanooga.
