A New Beginning Is Coming to Chicago
Adult & Teen Challenge Greater Midwest is opening a Men’s Induction Center in Chicago—a place where men trapped in addiction can find lasting freedom through faith, counseling, and community.
Real Lives Changed
“I went from hopeless and broken to walking in freedom.”
— Josiah

What Is an Induction Center?
At Adult & Teen Challenge Greater Midwest, our Induction Centers are the first step on a life-changing journey. This is where men begin their recovery from addiction, finding structure, hope, and healing in a Christ-centered environment. From the very beginning, they’re supported by staff who walk with them through every challenge, every breakthrough, and every victory.
With a new Men’s Induction Center coming to Chicago, more men will have the chance to start fresh, and build a foundation for lasting freedom.
What Makes Us Different
Christ-Centered Healing
We believe transformation starts with Jesus. That’s why our entire program is grounded in biblical teaching, spiritual mentorship, and prayer.
12 Months of Real Change
We go beyond short-term recovery. Students begin with 3 months at our Chicago Induction Center, followed by 9 months of training in Pekin, IL, before returning home. This full-year journey builds lasting habits, job skills, and emotional resilience that fuel a successful re-entry into their communities.
