Adult and Teen Challenge Maine

Just over two miles north of Winthrop in Maine, you’ll find the Adult & Teen Challenge Maine Men’s Center. Here, they offer a place of refuge and a starting ground for long term healing to men caught in the grips of addiction.

Their facility has 488 acres and space for 20 residents at any given time, and each resident’s stay lasts an average of 10-12 months. During this time, they provide programs that entails therapy, training, discipline, and spiritual enrichment that afford each resident the opportunity to build toward a brighter and sober future. What’s wonderful about Adult & Teen Challenge is that they’ll accept someone into their programs regardless of that individual’s financial means.

A Long Term Faith Based Addiction Program

The Maine Men’s Center provides adult men with a structured, faith based addiction treatment program. Residents get regular clinical counseling sessions in which their counsellor helps them confront addictive behaviors and learn how to productively manage stressors in their lives. Additionally, they use these sessions to provide life coaching, covering topics such as relationships and work aspirations.

They also stress that the core of the discipline and structure in their program is the redeeming grace of Jesus, making this a spiritual program for those looking to lean on their faith as a part of their recovery.

Healing Through Character Building

Character building through education and vocational training is another aspect of the Maine Men’s Center’s approach to sustained recovery. By giving residents a chance to develop their skills and work hard, the program offers a measure of personal fulfillment that comes from doing good work. Many of these jobs also open up career opportunities for those seeking employment after they graduate.
