Pacific Northwest Adult & Teen Challenge

What Pacific Northwest Adult & Teen Challenge does

Adult & Teen Challenge PacWest (legal name: Adult & Teen Challenge PacWest; EIN 93-0844063) is a faith-based, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization headquartered at 18600 SE McLoughlin Blvd., Milwaukie, Oregon. It operates the Pacific Northwest regional chapter of the national Adult & Teen Challenge recovery network, delivering long-term (one-year) faith-based residential discipleship programs for individuals seeking recovery from addiction and other serious, life-controlling issues. The organization was founded in 1983 and is led by CEO Chris Hodges.

Its core offering is a portfolio of 18 residential recovery campuses — 11 for men and 6 for women, with several women's campuses able to house women together with their children — plus one Adolescent Girls Program (Boise Girls Academy) for adolescent females in Idaho. Campuses span Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Alaska, Montana, and Hawaii, with major concentrations in the Portland Metro, Seattle Metro, Tri-Cities, Spokane, Eugene, and Billings areas. Supporting services include community and jail outreach (Tri-Cities Women's Jail Outreach and Hawaii Island Outreach), an outpatient recovery partnership through Life Renewal, a TCMI internship program, and Stories of Hope published testimonials. The organization operates no proprietary technology platform; the product is the residential program curriculum (the "Comprehensive Approach Wheel") and the staff-to-resident care model.

Revenue is generated through a non-profit funding stack anchored by charitable donations and student sponsorship (recurring), supplemented by a nominal intake application fee and thrift-store revenue via the SuperThrift affiliate (superthrift.org), which also serves as a vocational training venue. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, with admissions handled via a dedicated toll-free number (877-302-7149) and website inquiries, supplemented by referrals from churches, community organizations, and corrections channels. The customer base is fully diversified across thousands of individual program participants and donors, with no anchor accounts.
