Peter Kaye speaks with both Alvin Web and James West of Rochester Adult and Teen Challenge, a faith-based drug and alcohol addiction rehabilitation program with an 87% success rate. Web shares his journey from the chains of addiction on the streets to a life of freedom through his faith in Jesus Christ. West walks us through the history of Rochester Adult and Teen challenge having closed its doors in 2008 to its grand reopening in 2021 and how the local community has reacted. He shares ways in which local businesses and churches can get involved and urges anyone who is struggling with addiction to reach out.
