Medical Wellness Center
Located on a verdant property in a small suburb of Tacoma, the Adult and Teen Challenge Graham Women’s Campus offers a Christ-centered treatment curriculum for women with substance use concerns. Founded by David Wilkerson in 1960, there are now nearly 250 Adult and Teen Challenge centers in the United States and over 1,000 in 95 countries across the globe. Pacific Northwest Adult and Teen Challenge programs charge a fee of $500 at the time of intake, with no monthly cost through the remainder of the program. The Graham Women’s Campus is a one year program and has a capacity of 28 women. Approximately 45 miles from downtown Seattle near Mount Rainier, the campus offers treatment for women throughout the Puget Sound area.
The Adult and Teen challenge Bible-based curriculum focuses on three main goals of recovery from brokenness associated with substance use, reconciliation with Jesus Christ and others, and transformation through the foundation of Jesus Christ. Throughout the program, individuals will attend sermons and participate in Bible studies, prayer, spiritual retreats, and vocational training. Adult and Teen Challenge does not employ medical staff, so participants must have completed detox prior to admission to the program. To help focus on recovery, contact is limited to immediate family and electronic devices are not allowed. With the goal of helping participants achieve recovery from all substance use, smoking is not allowed.
