1 New Teen Challenge Support Group Coming To Niverville Pic
Ben Luc Adult & Teen Challenge

Adult & Teen Challenge (ATC) has a strong record of success with its residential program, helping people recover from addition. Since 1995, their programs have produced hundreds of graduates who have gone on to live successful, addiction-free lives.

But not everyone is able to make the required yearlong commitment. To meet this need, the organization is branching out to include community support groups. The newest of these groups is about to get underway in Niverville, run by 2012 ATC graduate Ben Luc.

Luc turned to cocaine and crystal meth at a young age. When smoking and snorting weren’t enough, he started using needles. His addictions controlled his life for 12 years.

Receiving support from his community played a big part in turning his life around, and now he wants to help others find the same freedom he found.

Today Luc makes his home in Niverville with his wife Victoria and two sons.

For more information about the Niverville group, or to get help, note the contact details below.
