About San Diego Teen Challenge

San Diego Teen Challenge is a 1 year faith-based program for men with alcohol and drug addiction struggles. The focus of the program is Christian on spiritual practices and disciplines to help men overcome their addictions. The first 3-4 months of the program are spent in the induction phase where men have time to acclimate before transitioning to a higher level of commitment. In the second phase of the program, men go more in their spiritual studies, attending daily classes, chapel services, and group discussions. Additional aspects of the program include visiting local churches, participating in community events, and completing supervised work activities.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like San Diego Teen Challenge provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)
