In Chapter 18, Wilkerson metaphorically links the cleaning out process of the Teen Challenge Center..... the way the building is cleansed of its decades-old mess and decay, to the teenagers who come to the Center for help, and the way they are cleansed of their life-long, personal, drug-induced mess and decay.
