The Freedom Women's Center is a faith-based, non-profit, residential discipleship/recovery program for men with life-controlling problems, including (but not limited to) drug and alcohol abuse. Our current population is 12+ women.

Entrance into our program is voluntary, although we accept men who are court-ordered to our facility. In either case, the men are free to leave the program anytime they choose.  We would notify the authorities if they were court-ordered.

Teaching faith in Jesus Christ alters behavior and instills positive values that allow the entire person to heal. Teen Challenge firmly believes, and results show, that an addict who establishes a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, will find permanent freedom from bondage. This central spiritual dynamic is the foundation on which all aspects of the Teen Challenge program are built. Teen Challenge rests upon one reason for success: "The Jesus Factor".

The Teen Challenge model summed up: It's not just drugs or alcohol; it's moral training. [The Gospel of] Mark, chapter seven says "It's not what enters a man that makes him unclean, it's what comes out that destroys him; it's what is in the person's heart that destroys him." We don't just talk about drugs and alcohol. We talk about character. Our approach is built on the foundation that a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is essential for long-term success.
