- What We Do
Living Free
12-month residential rehabilitation program
Teen Challenge SA runs a 12-month residential rehabilitation program called Living Free. Living Free is designed to support people with life-controlling issues by teaching them new ways of living.
A vibrant therapeutic recovery community
Our program is currently for men only, aged 18 and above. Our live-in rehabilitation facility is located in the semi-rural town of Strathalbyn on the Fleurieu Peninsula, 55 kilometres from Adelaide. It is a vibrant therapeutic recovery community with staff available at all times.
A Christian-based program
We are a Christian-based program promoting the biblical approach to recovery and addiction treatment. Many of our clients are not necessarily people of the Christian faith; however, our program caters for clients of many walks of life who are open to our approach.
