About Great Lakes Adult & Teen Challenge
The Great Lakes Adult Teen Challenge’s Center of Hope facility is a faith based residential recovery home for men in suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They’ve been around for over 60 years. You’ll find them in a suburban setting, close to the Valhalla Memorial Park and the Timmerman Airport.
Center for Hope is a therapeutic community with a year long program. You’ll spend time with other men who are working on being free from addiction. You’ll get non-medicated detox. This allows your body to get rid of substances naturally over weeks or months. During this process, you’ll be supported, encouraged and carefully monitored to make sure you’re safe.
Their treatment is based on the belief that addiction is often the result of unresolved trauma or pain, not having your needs met or not knowing what your purpose is. They focus on finding the root cause and resolving it, which allows you to move on and embrace a new way of living.
As part of your recovery, they identify and challenge unhelpful thought processes and negative motivations. This helps you begin to recognize them for yourself and choose different ways of thinking. Job training is an important part of recovery as this allows you to get satisfying employment that provides for yourself and your loved ones.
What stands out to me is that they don’t rush the recovery process. They use the tools of counseling and education to help you grow and become resilient. You’ll be mentored by someone who understands what you’re going through. Living in a Christian rehab, you’ll get spiritual guidance and the tools you need to build a happy, healthy future.
