Phase 1 - Intake Phase

This is prior to entering the program. This phase includes being interviewed and assessed by the Intake Coordinator having the program explained in detail and completing the necessary paperwork for admission. If needed, detoxification is also a part of this phase.

Phase 2 - Orientation (30 days)

This begins when a person enters the program. Orientation lasts for 30 days. During this phase there is no contact with friends or family. The aim of this phase is to help the person settle into the program by becoming familiar with the facilities and daily routine.

Phase 3 - Foundation (Min 18 Weeks)

This phase works on laying the foundation in which the student is to build their recovery on, in preparation for Phase 4. Once this phase begins the student is allowed 1 x 10 minute phone call a week unless they have children they are then allowed 2 x 10 minute phone calls a week. Once approved they are also allowed visitors on Saturdays.

Phase 4 - New Learning (Min 30 Weeks)

This is a major part of the program and it focuses on developing character and learning new life principles that are practically applied in daily living. This includes directly learning through personal studies, group studies and indirectly learning from group co-operation and teamwork. In this phase we deal with the Emotional, Spiritual, Cognitive and Behavioural aspects of the human heart.

Graduation

Once the person has successfully completed Phases 1 to 4, they graduate from the Teen Challenge program.

OUR LOCATION

Our rehabilitation center is located at 510 South Boundary Rd, Kyabram, Victoria.

THE “JESUS FACTOR”

There are a couple of things that set us apart from traditional recovery centers. The biggest one is our focus on faith -based recovery to encourage healing and transformation. Students complete SOAP (Scripture, observation, Application, Prayer) bible studies and attend chapel and church services.  

GROUP STUDIES

Group Studies for New Life in Christ (GSNC) is a series of 14 week-long classes developed by our International office. The classes are a core framework in global Teen Challenge programs.  These classes teach biblical principals that help students form a deeper relationship with Jesus.

PERSONAL STUDIES

Personal Studies for New Life in Christ (PSNC) is an individual study program developed by our International Office. Students and their mentors design an individual study program that addresses the unique needs, concerns, and issues that they struggle with. Students work through the items of their PSNC learning contract at their own pace.

PSNC learning contracts include elements like: Scripture memorization, reading assignments, topical studies, and applying these to each students’ unique issues or circumstances.

PEER TO PEER GROUP SESSIONS

Peer to peer group sessions are a platform for students to develop communication skills in a safe and welcoming environment. Students are encouraged to share their triumphs and struggles with their peers and offer each other support in this process.

FITNESS PROGRAM

Students are involved in gym sessions, group fitness sessions and recreational sports. Students are also able to utilize our on-site gym in their free time.
