About Life Challenge Ministries
Life Challenge Ministries is part of the Christ-centered Adult and Teen Challenge. They operate a residential recovery for men and women in Detroit, Michigan. These programs serve adults over 18 by providing a structured and communal living space to navigate recovery.
A Community-driven Recovery For You
Separate campuses are available for men and women, but the recovery approach is the same. The campuses are clean and fully equipped to optimize healthy community living. Residents benefit from a full year of support including room, board, and transportation.
The program aims to restore communities via faith-based recovery and reconciliation with God. You’ll enter into a loving and supportive Christian community where you’ll live, work, play, and pray with others. You’ll reestablish your network of broken relationships and confront the unhealthy pattern of behavior that contributed to substance use. Perhaps the best aspect is that you’ll be removed from your toxic environment alongside the triggers that fueled your addiction.
Phased Faith-based Recovery
One defining attribute of this program is the emphasis on strengthening your personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The program lasts for a year in four three-month recovery phases. You’re awarded a certificate as you navigate each phase and are recognized as a graduate upon completion. The wraparound services are tailored to meet your unique recovery needs via personalized treatment planning.
You’ll attend individual and group counseling to build strong coping strategies necessary for relapse prevention. You’ll attend daily Chapel services, Christian growth classes, and mentoring to help you discover God’s truth for yourself. It’s a great avenue to cultivate healthy relationships with others that can last a lifetime.
You’ll take part in work programs to learn positive work ethics and personal responsibility and find purpose in the work of your hand. Most work programs generate income to contribute to the cost of your healing process. You’ll pick up life skills like financial literacy, resume writing, and interview skills. Folks with medical issues and co-occurring disorders are provided requisite support via telehealth. Residents also enjoy some recreational time to just have fun and find joy in recovery.
Life Challenge Ministries also offers an outpatient program here for folks seeking more flexible treatment options. This program provides supportive services for individuals and families seeking to regain their freedom from addiction or co-occurring disorders.

Other Forms of Payment
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.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
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.
