Why LifeLine?
- Lifeline offers ministry to the larger percentage of the addicted population who will not commit time to a residential program unless court-ordered.
Research shows less than 10% of addicts enter residential recovery/treatment facilities - Lifeline serves as a point of contact for our Teen Challenge residential programs in:
County detention centers, drug court, churches, and communities;
Provides referrals to Teen Challenge with appropriate information regarding fees, application process, and loca- tions that will help educate and prepare clients for our residential centers. LET’S FILL OUR EMPTY BEDS! - Lifeline gives opportunity to bring together the faith community for a common cause.
Every corner of the American landscape is adversely affected because of drugs and alcohol.
Churches have a cause to come together.
The faith-based community taking back their community!

Lifeline utilizes Living Free Curriculum: http://store.teenchallengeusa.com/student-materials.html?cat=14
Actually, Sandy, that “curriculum” link at the top of the article is a “tag”. All articles are tagged (or labeled) with themes contained within the article. Clicking that link will show you a list of all articles on the site tagged with that same “label”. (So, what you’re seeing when you click “curriculum” is a listing of all Connections articles that are about curriculum.)
I’ve updated the article with a link to the official Lifeline website.
Allen, I am confused about the structure of the program being provided. The curriculum link leads me to believe the GSNC & PSNC curriculum is involved.
Is Lifeline simply providing that curriculum to inmates via volunteers with the hope of eventual referral to a TC center?
