THE COUNSELING CENTER— The Teen Challenge of East Tennessee counseling center is located at 3127 Martin Luther King Ave. in Knoxville. We offer Christian counseling for families and individuals who have any life-controlling problems such as— drugs, alcohol, fear, rebellion, marital problems, anger, etc… Our main focus is to point people away from these problems by pointing them to their only solution— Jesus Christ.
REFERRALS— We also offer referral services for those individuals (teens or male adults) struggling with certain addictions. Teen Challenge has over 160 long-term residential programs in the United States. Our office will help explain to the individual the specifics about the program, help find an open bed space, help fill out all the necessary paperwork, and help make the proper arrangements for entrance into a residential program. If you or someone you know need residential care, please feel free to call us. There are no mandatory fees for services provided at Teen Challenge of East Tennessee. However, there may be some entry fees and other charges for residential care.
Ladies Crisis Center--We will minister to women with drug and alcohol addictions who want to enter long-term residential care. We will help the women with the applications and medical work necessary to enter the next phase of Teen Challenge while giving them a place to stay.
