Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch provides a protective, structured, and nurturing environment in which addicted boys from Illinois advance academically and behaviorally. They will also learn practical life skills, build character, and create healthy relationships with others. Addiction therapy here aims to identify underlying reasons for the re-occurrence of damaging behaviors and addictions. We utilize adventure-based therapy, a proven curriculum, and ongoing individual and group addiction counseling. As a result of these therapies, students replace their old ways of thinking and behaving with a new sense of drive and positivity.
For most students who enter our program, harmful actions are driven by the substances they are abusing, from alcohol and marijuana to various illicit drugs. Regardless, they have surrendered to unhealthy and extremely harmful methods of coping with life. Substances and adrenaline-seeking activities have become the boy’s coping mechanism for handling the ordinary stresses of life. After the addictions are under control, we introduce each boy to new, better ways of coping with struggles.
Character traits such as honesty, integrity, and compassion are also taught to the boys and demonstrated by peers and staff. Boys are encouraged to trust God and seek His purpose in their lives. When students grab ahold of these concepts, the need for drugs and alcohol will be lifted and they will be free to resume lives as happy, productive members of society.
If your son is struggling with substances and/or behavioral troubles, we can help turn his life around. Although we are not located in Waukegan, Illinois, it is best for a boy to be separated from his negative peer influences in his home city, so the distance is a plus. At this facility, he will learn how to overcome his struggles and build healthy relationships. For more information about this Christian rehab for teens, located in Arkansas, please contact us.
Since we became the very first residential Teen Challenge program for boys, Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch has been assisting families for more than 40 years. We believe that centering our program on Christ is the reason so many teenage boys have realized deliverance from addictions here, even where other rehab programs didn’t work.
After completion of our Christian rehab, boys return home followed by a strong aftercare program to continue their positive growth. Aftercare is included without added cost in our normal tuition package.
Academics mean much to us, because we find that education is critical for future success. In our accredited private Christian school, students work on courses led by certified teachers, with individual tutoring available to assist those who need it. Credits earned can easily transfer to private or public schools at home. Boys may also study basic vocational skills including woodworking, basic electrical, construction and carpentry, welding, basic automotive, and more. After completing our rehab, boys may opt to continue their classwork from home.
Many boys have turned their lives around and have gone on to make a difference for Christ after completing the program at Teen Challenge Ranch. We would love to talk with you to see if our boarding school is a good option for your son. Whether you choose Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch, a rehab and sober school in Waukegan, Illinois, or another program, we hope your family can find the healing that Christ can bring.
