It started as a ministry for adolescents, until there was a need for men and women's centers for those that struggle with life controlling issues, such as drug and alcohol addiction. Teen Challenge has over 200 centers in the US and over 1200 world-wide. In Pensacola, there is a men's and women's center, which are 12+ month residential programs that focus on biblical principles and holistic healing. People are treated free of charge if they cannot pay tuition.
