Focus

This center primarily treats substance use disorders, helping you stabilize, create relapse-prevention plans, and connect to compassionate support.

Teen Challenge Riverside Men's Center offers a two-phase, non-residential program designed to help clients break free from the grip of unhealthy habits, relationships, and beliefs. Each month-long phase guides participants through a structured process, first focusing on cleansing the mind and spirit, then moving into rebuilding a stronger, more purpose-driven life. In the second phase, participants engage in life skills classes, practical lessons, and relational discipleship that strengthen their foundation. The journey continues through hands-on outreach, including "Street Group," a weekly ministry to the homeless. This faith-driven service invites transformation not just within, but throughout the local community.
