Shenandoah Valley Teen Challenge

…..Most adults who arrive at our doors bring with them a tragic history of substance abuse and other life-controlling problems. At Adult Teen Challenge the journey to sobriety includes attention to the spiritual needs of the adults who seek our help. A faith-based approach, teaching biblical principles through group studies and personal studies.  Individual mentoring, helping students uncover old destructive behavior patterns which led them to and kept them in a lifestyle of addiction.  A new way to think about life which helps students begin the process of making better choices. A faith-based approach, applying phase I biblical principles in real world environments.  Adult Teen Challenge offers group studies teaching the five components of recovery.  A vocational program in which the students are employed in the real world, gaining real work experience, to prepare them for their future. A faith-based approach toward making real life decisions based on their new Godly character.  A process in which students and their mentor plan an exit strategy covering the 6 components of transition and financial direction: employment, communication, transportation, home church, recovery maintenance plan, and a place to live upon graduating Adult Teen Challenge.

Would give less than 1 star if possible. Unsure how this place is even affiliated with Teen Challenge. The living quarters is unsanitary with overcrowded housing. There are no certified, trained professionals for therapy. The family run facility is a scam to make money off of those who are sick and work the system for Government Food Stamp assistance. Residents were required to work halfway through the program and half of the money earned had to be given to the "facility". No clean water was offered (it smelled like rotten eggs) and when it was, the caretakers complained that the water was consumed too quickly (2 cases of water for 6 people). Kitchen was locked up and meals were required to be uniform, so no consideration for food allergy or diet preferences. Food delivered as "donation" was expired and fresh food was rotten and old. The family home is on the premise so no one is allowed to go over, even for emergencies unless the resident is the person who has been here the longest. I would never trust this place with myself or loved one. Highly recommend researching more qualified facilities, my relative lasted 18 days before being "kicked out" because she was questioning how they were operating.

Perhaps a good place for some. However, once a person decides to leave they abandon you. A failure to show Christian Love. Not a place for dual diagnosises person. Food Stamp program needs oversight. They ignore your concerns or safety issues. Chose to leave and now in a more therapeutic environment and doing well. Again, this place may work for some. Not all.
