First, "Teen" Challenge is not just for teens, it is religion based sobriety for all ages.

Secondly, sobriety based on religion is not sobriety, it's a poor substitution, just changing addictions to opium of the people. When you put your faith into religion to keep you sober, ultimately your religion fails, faith dissolves, and your addictions and vices come back full bore.

A friend had an intervention which landed him in Teen Challenge. He became a religious fanatic and closet user. A second stint with Teen Challenge turned him in to a Teen Challenge minister who fluctuated between dry drunk and closet user. When his faith failed to keep him sober, he lost faith, spiraled out of control, and ended up committing suicide. One of his reasons for ending it all, because his faith in God didn't keep him sober.

Teen challenge created a religious fanatic and never address any of his mental health issues.

Ok, I'll get off my soap box now.

FFS, I've been a Counselor for Children and Youths for well over 20+ years, helped quite a number who have been addicts to one or another drug/s as well.
They do NOT need to lectured about some dead Jew on a Stick, they do NOT need to be punished, separated from their own friends, etc, THEY need kindness, understanding, someone willing to listen to and talk WITH them NOT at them and MOST of all Encouragement that THEY are the ones capable of finding the solution/s to their problems and implementing them and seeing them through.

Christianity needs to be outlawed.

No christian place should ever be allowed to offer counseling.
Let alone get tax dollars for it.

They need to be shut down and people thrown in prison.

Sick degenerates. We must find some way to criminalize corruption.

Yep……same mentality as, ‘I need a plumber, but I’ll call a salesman instead’. DUUURRRR
