Adult & Teen Challenge — St. Louis Men's Center
Located in this city
Long-term faith-based residential recovery for men. The program is a year long and divided into two phases: Induction and Training. Admission and long-term residential care are FREE. The curriculum is based on God's Word—the Bible—through classes, individual study, personal mentoring, work ethic training, and involvement in the Christian community. Because addiction starts as a way to fulfill a void that only God can fill, a strong relationship with the Lord is foundational to the program. True transformation addresses the spiritual, emotional, and physical aspects of each student's life.

Located in this city
Long-term faith-based residential recovery for women. Women all across the Midwest from Tennessee to Nebraska, from Illinois to Kansas have made Diane's House their home away from home as they seek God for the transformation of their spirit, mind, will and emotions. The ladies learn to not be conformed to the world but transformed by the entire renewal of their minds with new attitudes and ideals (Romans 12:2). Renewed to God's way of thinking is a reality. At each juncture she views her life and sees that she has changed, and each day as she commits herself to the One who loves her the most, her hope can be seen as a reality. She is a new creation—old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new!
