Heartland Adult and Teen Challenge

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Gene Garcia, Outreach Director with Heartland Adult & Teen Challenge in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, who shares his personal story of how the nonprofit organization saved and transformed his life, and highlights their mission and efforts as a long-term, faith-based drug and alcohol treatment program for adult males, ages 18 and up.

During the interview, Gene discusses their highly structured program for men who have reached their rock bottom and are ready for a complete life change. Their program focuses on Christian principles while helping men develop life skills that will aid them in the practical side of their recovery. Interpersonal skills and healthy relationships are focused on to help heal broken bonds with family, and work skills are developed so men can not only maintain sobriety but also have the practical skills necessary to be productive members of society. Gene talks about their different locations between Memphis, Middle Tennessee and Murfreesboro, how they help and transition men through employment, how the community can support their efforts, and how individuals seeking help can take their first steps toward life transformation.
