What Is The Seven Challenges Program?

The Seven Challenges program aims to assist individuals with alcohol and drug problems through a structured approach. The Seven Challenges' Mastery Counseling method, a transtheoretical approach, focuses on personal experiences to motivate change, addressing issues of concern in each session and offering practical help.

  1. Challenging yourself to honestly look at your life, including your use of alcohol and other drugs.
  2. Challenging yourself to look at what you like about alcohol and other drugs, and why you use them.
  3. Challenging yourself to look at harm that has happened and could happen from your use of alcohol and other drugs.
  4. Challenging yourself to look at your responsibility and the responsibility of others for your problems.
  5. Challenging yourself to look at where you are headed, where you would like to go, and what you would like to accomplish.
  6. Challenging yourself to make thoughtful decisions about your life, including your use of alcohol and other drugs.
  7. Challenging yourself to take action and succeed with your decisions about your life and your use of alcohol and other drugs.
