Adult & Teen Challenge Ohio Valley

"I completed the one year program and left homeless and broken. I fought to maintain my personal spiritual beliefs and to avoid “fruit tests” in which staff prod and push mentally damaged individuals to a breaking point. I had a back injury that they neglected to treat. This is clearly a money grabbing scam like most faith based “rehabs” which are popping up everywhere with limited oversight. Once admitted expect your rights to be violated. Signing a contract out of desperation while mentally unstable is not a reasonable legal defense yet they consistently remind clients that they signed up for it."

"For many years,decades in fact, I've heard alot about Teen Challenge. I've heard how wonderful and successful they are with people both young and old who are struggling with alcoholism and drug addiction, where traditional treatment centers and 12 step programs failed these people Teen Challenge successfully turned their lives around with this totally and complete Faith Based approach. Clients/Residents are encouraged to completely stay away from all secular activities and music and totally focus on the Jesus, the Bible, Church, Faith, Prayer and everything else associated with dedication to a Christian way of life. I've spoken to several people in the past who have successfully completed the Teen Challenge Program and they all said that their lives were completely turned around leaving alcohol, drugs, homelessness and crime behind them and now today, still devoted to Christianity are living productive and fulfilling lives."

"I just recently graduated the 30 day program here and I can honestly say it has Jesus works miracles in that place. Having been a graduate out of Arizona several years ago, I already had a relationship with the Lord but fell back into sin and drugs. While at the Youngstown center I experienced great breakthrough through the Holy Spirit and a brotherhood of believers United in Christ. I won't lie and say it was because it was tough. That's what I needed though. They have a 30 day clinical program or you can do the year program and even stay on as an intern and eventually be a paid staff member. If you have been battling addiction for awhile I highly suggest doing a year there. You will be amazed at what God can and will restore in you and in your families lives. Praise be to Jesus. You are our hope and salvation. Amen"

"Prior to working here when just coming to tour the facility, I could feel a presence prior to even entering the building. A calming, peace. Upon entering the building I was greeted by every staff member and client and made to feel extremely welcome. The presence of God flowed greatly through everyone here. Even after working here for the last 7+ months that continues daily. This community is truly a large family. I haven't felt like I've worked one day, rather it feels like I'm in fellowship with my brothers and sisters helping rebuild lives, restoring families, and reclaiming our community. Lives are being changed daily here, and the enhanced counseling and medical services provided by H.O.P.E. Counseling and Addiction Services, as well as programming being provided daily to all clients is top tier. It is amazing seeing the change that happens in clients from admission to completion of the short term program, then continues with the transition and journey through the Legacy Long Term Programming. Clients are fully equipped to lead a life of sobriety upon graduating from the program."

"I recently had the privilege to participate in the Adult/Teen challenge addictions orientation program. I am thrilled to be rejoining my family in 4 days as a changed person. The facilities were very nice, but the thing that I was most impressed with were the groups and classes that I participated in daily. The facilitators and councilors were well educated and very helpful, they had real life experience of their own to draw from. I witnessed an ongoing education training program for the staff as well. I would highly recommend Ohio Valley Adult and Teen Challenge for anyone who is in need of, or knows a loved one who is in need of addiction treatment. Shawn Stump"
