About Adult and Teen Challenge of Philadelphia
Adult and Teen Challenge of Philadelphia was a Christian based addiction and substance abuse treatment program for people 18 and older. It was a residential program. Their program combined faith based services with evidence based treatments for a comprehensive approach to treatment. They were located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Adult and Teen Challenge locations combine traditional, evidence based treatment methods with Christian fellowship. The faith component can serve as a powerful tool for those who already believe and open new avenues for those who don’t. If you’re opposed to a faith based approach, these centers may not be for you.
The Philadelphia location encouraged involvement in the ministry team. This offered opportunities to help with the organization’s outreach efforts in various ways. It was another means of skill development and cultivating faith.
The Philadelphia location has since closed, but Adult and Teen Challenge has multiple locations, including in Pennsylvania. Services offered may vary between locations, but the underlying principles of Christian faith underscore their mission.

If you need help you should consider reaching out to Teen Challenge. Lives are transformed at and through Teen Challenge, do not let the inaccurate information about the cost deter you from getting help. Also, I believe they have ways of acquiring financial assistance if needed. If you have a problem and your tired of it and / or you have been to multiple rehabs, this one is different. Don’t go back to what you know doesn’t work. Heart transformation vs’ behavior modification. Anybody can change their behavior for external reasons, like they got fired from their job, fighting with spouse, ect. and they really believe that they’ve stopped., but two months after getting a new job and the coast is clear guess what creeps back out? When there’s a transformed heart, the desires are abolished, not tucked away for later. Hearts are transformed at Teen Challenge. In 2009 the program was12 months. You might think that’s a long time. If you do nothing 5 years will fly by and you will be where you are now, or worse off, or even dead. Make a move now and imagine the endless possibilities that can happen in five years. New friends, new career, new location, clear, productive mind. Don’t wait. Do it today.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
