who
are we?

Teen Challenge NorWestCal Nevada has been helping individuals and families find recovery and new life since we first opened our doors in 1967 in Oakland, CA.

Today, we continue to offer a secure, healing place for those struggling with life-controlling issues.

Preventing sex trafficking and abuse in our communities is also a focus. We endeavor to expand our ability to address these concerns.

Our mission

To provide successful recovery to men, women, teens, children, and families with destructive, abusive, and addictive lifestyles through mentoring, education, training, and spiritual direction.

The Need

every changed life makes a profound difference in their families, workplaces and communities. you can be a part of transforming lives!

You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Eph. 4:22-24
