Sometimes life just doesn’t seem to work, and the thought of changing can be completely overwhelming. You don’t know if you’ve got what it takes.  The fact that you’re reading this means that part of you wants life to be different.  Whether you, or a loved one, are battling an addiction - we want you to know that you don’t have to do this alone.

 The “Live Free” Program is a full-time residential experience, based at our Life-Transformation Centre in Kyabram.  It is all about helping men, 16 years and over, to change their lives and to be empowered to live free from drug and alcohol dependency and other life-controlling issues (such as gambling, sex addiction, depression, etc.)

Mission Statement

To provide youth, adults and families with an effective and comprehensive solution to life-controlling problems, including drug and alcohol dependency, in order to become productive members of society. By applying sound principles, Teen Challenge endeavours to help people become mentally sound, emotionally balanced, socially adjusted, physically well, and spiritually alive.



2011

Days seem to run together at times.
We have a rare option here at the Kyabram Campus to slow things down. We learn to sit with pain, to be drawn by relationships, to reflect on the shortcomings of our past, to focus on the task of today. We come alive to the love song Jesus is singing over us, we hear our emotions roar; we are known and know others. We learn to be exposed without fear of rejection. Days pass quickly here but they don’t blur anymore, because moments matter. Everything God allows us to see, taste, hear and feel matters.

Only half the battle is fought in the attempt to live free of addictive behaviours. Many people can abstain through various resources and contain their destructive desires. The challenge we face here is to disciple men in the art of managing their freedom. To manage freedom men must do the "three knows": know God, know themselves, know others. To know in this context means one thing, intimacy. Intimacy is a key to freedom. We were made for intimate relationships with God and others. Addiction destroys intimacy, we measure the level of addiction not in the quantity of substances consumed but in the level of destruction in regards to personal relationships.

If you need to stop the destruction to your relationships and learn how to manage freedom we want to help.
