<p><strong>ABOUT FREEDOM HOUSE</strong></p> <p>Freedom House is a <strong>crisis-centered, faith-based nonprofit rehabilitative program for women</strong> seeking to overcome chemical dependency and “spiritual poverty.” Located in Greensboro, N.C. and founded in 2006 to help keep families together, the <strong>nine to 12-month residential recovery program</strong> was designed to help mothers and their children regain their footing in life through <strong>counseling, parenting education and support, and services for children</strong>. As programming is grounded heavily in the 12 steps, women spend ample time here developing a relationship with Christ.</p> <p>Freedom House is <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/NC17.pdf" target="_blank">one of just 184 (39.0 percent) nonprofits in the state of North Carolina</a>, and <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/NC17.pdf" target="_blank">one of just 18 (3.8 percent) to <strong>offer residential beds for children</strong></a>. Detoxification services are not available on-site.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Freedom House in Greensboro requires prospective client complete an extensive application that incorporates their social, physical, legal, pregnancy, and religious history, followed by an interview.

Others may be <strong>referred here by the court system</strong>.</p> <p>The program holds expectations that women participate in <strong>an intensive, holistic, and faith-based rehabilitation process</strong> that consists of individual counseling, spiritual guidance, exercise, and nutrition. Basic needs, such as **food, clothing, and transportation to community services and other appointments - are also provided for.</p> <p>Educational sessions address a range of topics including parenting, <strong>money management, goal setting, and co-dependency</strong>. Preparation for employment consists of working at one of three Freedom House thrift stores.</p> <p>In the extensive <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">aftercare program,</a> clients have option to continue with <strong>biweekly individual and group counseling</strong> and live rent-free for up to one year in a Freedom House transitional home.

The facility <strong>relies heavily on volunteers for support services</strong>.</p> <p>The single Rehabs.com survey respondent surveyed by Rehabs.com to date gave four out of five stars for the staff's level of training and experience.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Freedom House can accommodate women and up to two children under the age of 11. Older children are allowed to visit.
