Dr. Charles Roman provides comprehensive internal medicine to elderly and adult patients as the CEO and owner of Roman Medical Group. He has maintained his private practice for over a decade after having spent several years as an internal medicine physician at Columbus Regional Medical Center. Dedicated to helping others outside the realm of medicine, Dr. Charles Roman supports Teen Challenge.

Working around the United States, Teen Challenge promotes alcohol and drug recovery by following a holistic model of care. One of the organization’s staples of care is its residential recovery program. Teen Challenge’s residential recovery program attempts to heal all aspects of substance abuse and addiction. The program separates individuals from negative and enabling environments and cares for them in controlled places dedicated to preventing self-destructive behaviors. This gives participants the opportunity to heal their body, mind, and soul over the course of several months.

The residential recovery program at Teen Challenge differs from typical inpatient and outpatient programs in several ways. The program lasts longer than the average hospital stay, but is nearly as intensive. Most clients of Teen Challenge remain in the program for around one to two years. They benefit from the program’s daily structure and are exposed to a more hands-on and faith-based treatment option. Through their exposure to this environment, individuals struggling with addiction and substance abuse learn that they can move away from drugs and forward in their lives toward greater spiritual growth and feeling more compassion for themselves.
