Lion's Den MBTC

Located just outside of downtown Roscommon, The Lion’s Den MBTC runs an 8-10 month residential Christian discipleship program for adults with alcohol or drug addiction and emotional problems. Mission Teens, Inc. operates the nonprofit, non-denominational program. Residents live on site and follow a set schedule. They do not charge tuition, but applicants must pay for a required drug test and arrange transportation home.

Daily Schedule and Program Stages

Residents spend about 5.5 hours each day in Bible study. Their schedule also includes devotionals, worship, Christian teaching, counseling, exercise, chores, work projects, recreation, and community gatherings. The program divides the stay into four stages: probationary, trainee, resident, and trainee counselor. Each stage lasts about 2-4 months. Staff increases a resident’s responsibilities and privileges as the resident moves through the program. Graduates may apply for an additional 10-12 month staff-training program.

Admission and Medical Requirements

They only handle emergency medical needs. Applicants must address medical, dental, and legal matters before admission. Medication restrictions may also affect eligibility. They require residents to step away from work, school, and home responsibilities for the full residential stay. It may suit adults who want a long-term Christian program built around Bible study, assigned work, daily structure, shared living, and increasing responsibility.
