A Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge graduate explained why he failed at another addiction recovery program. Facilitators at the other addiction recovery program told him on the first day that their goal was to have him leave their program within 60 days. 

True to their word, after 60 days, he was released. However, he knew that they didn’t help him since he started drinking two days later. 

When he came to Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge, he stayed as the counselor. He thought that he could deal with the world outside of addiction. He did it! He has been sober for three years by using the tools Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge provided him to deal with his addiction.
