The Teen Challenge residential programme is
divided into four phases – the induction phase; the
training phase; the re-entry phase and the aftercare
phase. The induction and training phases are 12
months in duration. The re-entry phase is offered to
students who wish to continue their development

mainstream society, while the aftercare phase
continues to follow up process of our students’
recovery as well as offer students employment,
training or extended student training opportunities.

drug and alcohol problems who abuse substances on a
daily or several-times-weekly basis and offers help
to teens and adults. At all points, preaching,

The ministry is entirely based upon a relationship
