About Teen Challenge Alpha Henson Men's Center

Teen Challenge Alpha Henson offers long-term recovery for men ages 18 and older, set on a peaceful 20-acre property. The program helps men overcome drug and alcohol addiction, anger, and challenging behaviors through a 12 to 18 month residential program. Care includes physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual support for lasting change.
At the heart of the program lies a faith-based curriculum that blends biblical teachings with real-life application. Men grow emotionally and spiritually through mentoring, vocational training, and a consistent daily routine. They engage in work-study projects, cultivate gardens, and give back through church volunteering and park clean-ups. Community outings like concerts help them build confidence, discover purpose, and reconnect with a sense of belonging.
