About Western Michigan Adult and Teen Challenge

Western Michigan Adult and Teen Challenge is a one year residential treatment program for adults in Muskegon, Michigan. They help adults struggling with alcohol substance abuse, as well as those with other life-controlling issues. They are located minutes from Lake Michigan. They have two campuses: one for men, which has 96 beds, and one for women with 54 beds.

In residential treatment, students spend a year in the live-in discipleship program, learning how to have a relationship with God and breaking free from addiction through the power of Jesus Christ. You’ll learn to function as Christians in society, applying spiritually motivated, Biblical principles to relationships in the family, local church, chosen vocation, and their community. Available residential services include spiritual development and Christian living classes, individual counseling sessions with pastors, work programs, health and wellness therapy, worship and chapel programs, and music therapy. They endeavor to help you become mentally sound, emotionally balanced, socially adjusted, physically well, and spiritually alive.

Western Michigan Adult and Teen Challenge requires only a one-time $300 entry fee, although they won’t turn away anyone seeking help based on their inability to pay. No insurance is required to participate in the program. If referrals are made to outside providers for additional recovery support, those entities may be in-network with major insurance companies. Ask your individual provider to verify your coverage as out of network benefits can apply.

Dirty nasty people that have zero credibility or licenses to coordinate therapy for individuals that need it. Money-hungry-cult. Brainwashing tactics and abuse takes place. Watch the program on Netflix. False advertising.

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Per session payment lets you pay for each treatment at the time of service. You may also pay for a certain number of sessions up front and then pay for more if needed. This format allows you to tailor the financial investment to your specific needs and avoid having a large lump sum payment due at the end of the treatment program.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in Michigan provides personalized treatment to help individuals break this cycle and regain control of their lives. Treatment methods are used in various levels of care, including inpatient rehab, partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, and standard outpatient treatment.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

The worst possible place to go unless you re looking to be isolated from everyone you love, not allowed to speak to anyone, have all medications removed despite them being necessary because they say Jesus will fix you , Jesus saved me by having an epileptic seizure which was the ONLY WAY I was able to get ahold of myself land get me out of there! They kept my belongings and refused to send them to me regardless of the fact that I had tried to pay them as much as necessary. I can t speak badly enough about them . Everything that they say online is false. Do not go to that place!
