Chattanooga, TN. April 31, 2021 – While many nonprofits across the U.S. scaled back their services to allow for distancing and/or isolation, Adult & Teen Challenge MidSouth (ATCM), a faith-based residential recovery program for men and women 18-50, continued services throughout 2020. The result is a number of these residents recently completed one or more tier of the program, opening up space for 33 men and 15 women in need of residential recovery counseling.
My name is Anthony, and I am a life that was changed. I grew up in a Christian home and went to church every Sunday and Wednesday for as long as I can remember. However, when I turned sixteen, I found myself with more freedom and made choices that did not reflect my upbringing. My attendance at church decreased as my participation in the things of the world increased. By the time I graduated high school I had already developed a gripping and life altering drug addiction that destroyed any hope for a promising future.
Martin D. Summitt and Yvonne Harvey joined the Adult & Teen Challenge Board of Directors this month to fill critical roles in the expanding board. The announcement was made by Dr. David McNabb, president of the residential recovery ministry. “As we pursue critical initiatives, we know that we need skilled leaders to help us achieve our goals,” says McNabb
