Description

Adult & Teen Challenge of St. Louis, a part of the network of over 180 Adult & Teen Challenge centers across the U.S., is celebrating over 50 years of service to the St. Louis metropolitan area. The first Adult & Teen Challenge facility in St. Louis was established September 15, 1966 in Webster Groves, Missouri. In 1971, due to the increasing demand for residential care, two large homes were purchased on Washington Avenue in the city of St. Louis. In response to the growing need for this program’s services, the Washington Avenue properties were then sold in 1981, and Adult & Teen Challenge of St. Louis was relocated to its present twelve-acre site in High Ridge, Missouri.

Drug and alcohol addiction indeed knows no societal boundaries, and the need for effective services increases with each passing day. Adult & Teen Challenge of St. Louis is striving to meet this need...one life at a time.
