What We Do
Helping people overcome addiction every day
Teen Challenge Canada offers a proven, 12-month, faith-based, in-residence recovery program for adults (18+) facing life-controlling addictions. Whether the struggle is with drugs or alcohol, our mission is to demonstrate God's love by helping individuals become free from substance addiction and equipping them to live full and meaningful lives.
At Teen Challenge Canada, we stand with each individual and respective family, providing encouragement and unwavering support, knowing that true recovery requires perseverance and a strong foundation in faith.
Recovery Model
At Teen Challenge Canada, we believe that recovery is more than just overcoming addiction—lasting sobriety is about embracing a new way of life.
For many, recovery may begin during their 12-month program, but real, lasting sobriety comes as individuals embrace a new life in Christ and daily apply the tools and life skills they have learned.
By surrounding themselves with a supportive community, individuals can sustain their sobriety and continue growing in their faith. Our Christ-centred approach is built on a foundation of faith, support, and practical skills, guiding individuals toward long-term transformation.
The Teen Challenge Canada Recovery Model focuses on five essential areas that work together to provide a comprehensive and lasting recovery experience. Each element is designed to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of our clients, ensuring they have the tools they need to live full and meaningful lives while with us in program, or at home with their family and friends.

PLACE OF REFUGE |
Recovery begins in a safe, structured, and supportive environment.
Clients find stability, routine, and care, helping them rebuild their confidence and self-worth. While our core program is 12 months, many choose to stay longer, engaging in post-care programs for an additional 6 to 12+ months of continued support.
 |
ADDICTION COUNSELLING |
Certified addiction counsellors provide professional support, helping clients address the root causes of their addiction.
Through personalized counselling plans and group therapy, individuals uncover their struggles, develop coping skills, and receive emotional support for lasting change.
 |
EDUCATION & SPIRITUAL FORMATION |
Clients grow through Bible study, discipleship, and educational training, discovering their identity in Christ and preparing for a meaningful future.
They also develop the skills needed to reintegrate with their families, spouses, and children, learning to navigate relationships and life challenges without relying on drugs or alcohol.
 |
EQUIPPING & LIFE SKILLS |
Practical skills empower clients to live successful, independent lives.
Training includes employment readiness, financial management, and work therapy— where clients gain hands-on experience in various roles. Life skills including dependability, teamwork, and self-control, help clients transition into meaningful employment and productive lives.
 |
PRE & POST CARE |
Recovery doesn’t end at graduation—it’s a lifelong journey.
Our pre and post-care support ensures that individuals and their families receive ongoing encouragement and accountability. From the initial admission process to post-graduate care programs and mentoring, we provide the support needed to transition successfully into a life of purpose and fulfillment.
