About

Central Indiana Teen Challenge is a Lebanon, Indiana program associated with the Adult & Teen Challenge network. Indiana Adult & Teen Challenge describes its programs as Christian, faith-based residential mentoring for people with life-controlling issues and says most programs last an average of 12-18 months (Indiana Adult & Teen Challenge).

Public treatment-directory and legal notices identify Central Indiana Teen Challenge as now operating as Refuge Girls Academy, a faith-based residential program for teen girls in Lebanon. Directory descriptions say the program serves girls ages 13-17 in a structured residential setting, with a typical length of 12-15 months (Addicted.org, CohenMalad).

In 2026, CohenMalad announced that it had filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of former residents who had been placed in Central Indiana Teen Challenge as minors. The public page is an attorney announcement and presents the claims as litigation allegations rather than findings.
