Studies and Reports
Studies have shown an extremly high cure rate for Teen Challenge graduates.
Since Teen Challenge first opened its doors to drug addicts and alcoholics
in 1958, thousands have come seeking help. Three significant research
projects have confirmed the effectiveness of the Teen Challenge approach
to helping those affected by life-controlling problems.
Researchers credit the spiritual component of the program as the key to
the high success rate of Teen Challenge graduates.
