FAQ

How long is the intake process?

Our intake process is streamlined, but its time line can vary based on the applicant. It is highly encouraged to be proactive in your application process and express motivation to be selected as a resident.

We advise that you call weekly to express interest in entering our treatment facility. These applications are never selected at random, or on a first come first served basis. Serious consideration and prayer are given to each applicant.

What is the cost of the program?

Life Challenge asks residents to provide $500 a month to support their stay. However, we understand that some residents may not be able to support their stay due to financial hardships. In those instances, we ask the applicant or her family to donate what they can monthly. We have never turned away a person in need because of lack of financial funding. The only thing that is required is a $200 entrance fee, $100 for a bus ticket in case the applicant decides to leave, and $100 for the applicant’s personal account.

How long is the program?

Our Program is a 6-9 months program but could be extended based on the need of the applicant.
