Program areas at Life Challenge of Southeastern Michigan

Life Challenge ministers to persons seeking freedom from Life controlling problems and other destructive behaviors. During 2022, 104 men and women took part in our 90 day and year-long residential programs. Participants receive education and ged preparation if applicable, as well as bible study for application to daily living. Other program activities and work projects serve to foster discipline and achievement. Follow-up is provided to encourage and support program graduates in their recovery and acceptance into society. Participants who have often been circumvented by traditional religion are presented with the opportunity to find new faith in jesus christ. During 2022, the ministry purchased 2 vacant lots directly behind the detroit men's campus. Life Challenge was chosen by the detroit collaborative design center's grassroots design access initiative (a program of the university of detroit mercy) for a landscape design of the entire property of the detroit men's campus.
The Life Challenge out-patient services substance use disorder program is licensed with the state of Michigan. The program offers individual, group and family counseling, including intake assessment and treatment plans. We are hippa compliant and work with licensed counselors and social workers.
