About this facility
Western Pennsylvania Adult & Teen Challenge in Cheswick offers a year-long residential program for adults 18 and older who are facing substance use disorders. The program combines licensed clinical care with faith-based resources in a structured, supportive environment. In partnership with the Naaman Center, participants also have access to outpatient services and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as part of a comprehensive continuum of care.
Participants receive therapy from licensed professionals, attend 12-step meetings, and have 24/7 access to pastoral mentors who support their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. They have daily routines such as cooking, cleaning, and community outreach to help build accountability, structure, and a sense of purpose. The program also offers faith-based activities, including chapel services, Bible studies, and Sunday sermons, which encourage reflection, personal growth, and a strong sense of community.
