The application process will
include an “Application for Admission”,
Health Screening form, General Program Rules, and a financial form.
Be sure to read everything carefully and
thoroughly. Please complete and return all forms
except the
Health Screening form. Upon completion of the application you
will need to contact us for an interview at which time you will be
advised whether or not to begin your medical testing. Please be aware
that if your application is not completely filled out it will be
returned to you which would cause a delay in your being accepted into
Teen Challenge.
No mood altering medication will be allowed for
any purpose. Non-psychiatric drugs prescribed by a doctor for
physiological reasons (such as epilepsy,
blood pressure, diabetes, etc.) will be administered by staff while you are in the program. If you have a severe
case of Hepatitis C requiring you to be on interferon or a similar drug,
we will not be able to accept you into our program. However, there may
be other Teen Challenge Centers who may be able to accept you.
The following tests are listed on the Health
Screening form and must be completed: S.T.D.,
Hepatitis A,B, and C Panel, H.I.V., T.B. Test, Urinalysis, (pregnancy
and Pap Smear for female applicants) and Dental exam. We must
have the results of the above tests and a copy of each lab report, with
the doctor's signature on the back of the Health Screening form. A
dentist's report must also be sent indicating that the dentist does not
foresee any work that will need to be done in the next year.
A T.B. Test is required and must be done no
more than 30 days before entering Teen Challenge.
Once we receive the medical results and you are
accepted, we will put your name on our waiting list.
Keep in touch with us throughout the process. If
you have further questions please do not hesitate to call.
In His Service,
Quinby Collier
Vice President
