A recent study conducted by the Center for Compassion at Evangel University confirms that 78% of graduates from Adult and Teen Challenge addiction recovery centers remain sober and substance free post-graduation! Meanwhile, pharmaceutical companies have created a smart patch that uses AI technology to notify the person when they are feeling stressed. The thought behind the smart patch is that the person will then be able to make better decisions knowing that they’re stressed. Trying to stop drinking alcohol or learning how to stop doing drugs can be stressful. Knowing when you’re stressed and improving self-awareness can be beneficial. 

Unfortunately, self-awareness without changing the problem is useless. The solution is in knowing where to find hope and peace in a stressful world. The peace Jesus gives is changing lives all around America at Adult and Teen Challenge recovery centers. Cincinnati Challenge Ranch is a part of Adult and Teen Challenge and offers life-changing tools to men struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. 

We recognize that within ourselves we have no peace. As we come to God for peace, God gives rest for those who are burdened by many troubles and stresses of life. We see men every day receive the treatment they need and hope for a better life. Recovery is possible and we are here to help. If you or your loved one wants freedom from addiction, give us a call or schedule a tour today.

Living for and remaining from (abstinence) are not the same. 
The first draws strength from life, the other depravation. 
The first looks forward, the other is always being chased. 
The first in relational denial of self.  The second for self. 

One immersed in life!  No longer counting days.  Any institution or person that derives its power from other than God,  always falls short and ultimately fails. 

The disease concept falls short because it places it’s value on a dead thing. 

The source of power of self.  | Life only comes from life.  
That source of power being God’s love. 
That Love, which creates value, bringing subsequent forgiveness and healing in an individual’s life, being core to recovery; since recovery can only take place as fast as healing.
