BC Teen Challenge - Okanagan Men's Centre

BC Teen Challenge’s Okanagan Men’s Centre is a long-term residential addiction recovery program for men, set on a rural property at 4550 Glenmore Road in Lake Country, British Columbia. Part of the Adult & Teen Challenge global network, the Okanagan centre offers the same comprehensive, faith-grounded recovery model found across BC Teen Challenge’s other facilities — a minimum 12-month residential program followed by an 18-month Successful Living aftercare component. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Okanagan Valley, the centre provides an ideal setting for the deep, lasting transformation that the Teen Challenge model is known for.

Long-Term Residential Faith-Based Recovery for Men

The Okanagan Men’s Centre is designed for men who are ready to make a serious, sustained commitment to freedom from addiction. The 12-month residential program immerses men in a daily structure of Bible-based curriculum, individual and group support, spiritual development, and practical life skills — all within a community of peers on the same journey. The program addresses addiction to alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, methamphetamine, opioids, and other substances. Teen Challenge’s core conviction is that transformation — not just treatment — is possible, and that lasting change is built on a renewed spiritual foundation.

Rural Setting, Holistic Healing, and Community Life

The rural Lake Country location of the Okanagan Men’s Centre offers a setting that supports reflection, renewal, and disconnection from the environments and triggers that fuelled addiction. Shared accommodations, communal dining, and a structured daily rhythm create the stable community life in which recovery flourishes. Holistic approaches — including the Love Reins horse-assisted ministry that has become a hallmark of Teen Challenge BC’s programming — complement the biblical curriculum, addressing emotional healing and personal growth alongside spiritual transformation.

Aftercare and the Successful Living Program

Graduation from the 12-month residential phase is not the end of the journey. The 18-month Successful Living aftercare program supports men as they return to community life — providing continued accountability, mentorship, and connection to a faith community that sustains long-term sobriety. For men in the Okanagan region and across BC who are ready to commit to a deep, faith-centred change, the BC Teen Challenge Okanagan Men’s Centre offers a proven, whole-person pathway to lasting freedom from addiction.
