This information may actauly be useful for someone else if they have a friend or family member in need of help. We contacted "Teen Challenge", which is not just for teens, my brother in law is 51 I believe, the program is 1 full year from start to finish, they work 5 hours a day, couceling and bible classes 4 1/2 hours a day, the rest of their day is structured from 5:30 am until 10 pm lights out. There are no up front fees, they pay for their counceling/room/board/classes out of the money they make working everyday. It is setup to where they can pay for everything and have a little bit of pocket money left over for some snacks or goodies to keep in their room with them. There is only one hard and fast rule to be accepted into the program, that I know of anyway, they must have an addiction to be accepted, the only thing Bill was addicted to that we know of was ciggerettes, so he left yesterday for New Orleans and will be gone a year, hopefully this will help him get his life on track.
