A real place
26 years in the Valley, with the lights on.
SVTC was founded in 2000 by Rev. John Franich in a one-room office in the Shenandoah Valley. Today his son Justin — a Teen Challenge graduate, clean since 2005 — leads the ministry with his wife Ashley.
We’re not a rehab. We walk alongside families: in the crisis, through the program search, and long after placement. For men further along, we also run Rebuilding Life Sober Living Home here in Mount Jackson.
