Help for Family
Do you have a loved one struggling with addiction and don’t know what to do?
What does it mean to “enable”, and how do you know if you’re guilty of it?
How do you remain peaceful throughout all of the chaos and pain?
Please read this helpful article by one of Teen Challenge’s founders, Dave Batty: “Enabling“
If you know someone that is struggling with a life-controlling problem, you need some support and we are here for you!
Your family member, friend or co-worker may be high functioning, or they could have lost everything, including their most precious relationships. You may want to help, but don’t know how. You may have tried already, and it hasn’t seemed to help. Please know that there’s hope within reach for you as well! Addiction impacts everyone involved and you don’t have to do this journey alone!
We offer our Concerned Persons class to give you the support and tools that you need. This confidential small group is held various times a year, and facilitated by experienced staff. We have the class hosted by Zoom, so you can be anywhere. To find out more, please click the button below.

Detox Resources
At this time, Adult & Teen Challenge does not have a medical detox facility. For certain applicants, we require that they have undergone a medical detox program before entering our program. Here are some of the ones that we have found in British Columbia, they are not in any particular order and Adult & Teen Challenge does not have any affiliation with these organizations.
