About Delmarva Teen Challenge
Located near the meeting place of Williams Pond and the Nanticoke River in Seaford, Delaware, you’ll find Adult and Teen Challenge’s (ATC’s) Delmarva facility. This location is one of the sites where ATC offers their long term residential program for people looking to break out of a long cycle of addictive behaviors.
Delmarva is particularly geared towards housing and serving men aged 18 and older, but their associated facility, Home of Hope, offers the same program to women. At Home of Hope, mothers of young children are given the chance to have their children live with them and attend daycare during their stay.
Holistic Healing in Three Phases
The men’s residential program is a faith based course that consists of three broad phases, and can run for between 12 and 18 months, depending on your needs as well as the progress you make during the program. The first phase entails the laying of a healthy foundation and integration into the Delmarva facility’s community.
During this phase, you’ll learn about the program’s rules and get to know your guidance counselor. You’ll receive individual and group counseling, and will learn the basics of the program’s way of life, setting you up for the rest of your stay.
The second phase includes more counseling, but then adds educational and skill building opportunities into the mix. The idea behind this is to help you rebuild your life by not only tackling addiction and its root causes but also by arming your mind with theory and practical skills.
In the final phase, they pivot to preparing you to reintegrate into society before you graduate. This comes in the form of relapse prevention preparation and practical help, like finding mentors and accommodation.
A Safe and Focused Environment
They do not allow any mood altering substances or chemicals on their campus (including nicotine), giving everyone in the program the best possible chance to stick to their long term abstinence goal.
They also help you stay as focused on your healing and growth goals as possible through keeping costs low and offering scholarships. This allows you to walk your recovery journey without the constant worry of large medical or treatment bills.

Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning.
