Program FAQ

Freedom House is a 9-12 month recovery program for women and children located in Greensboro, North Carolina.  We offer comprehensive, holistic services, in a Christ-centered, family environment.  Freedom House was established in 2006 to meet a desperate need to provide for the physical, mental, and spiritual demands of families seeking recovery. Freedom House is a Christian 12-step program. For one year, we provide structure, housing, transportation, substance abuse counseling, and life-skills training for women and their children who are willing to fight for a brighter future.  In addition, we offer assistance and support for graduates through our Aftercare Program to ensure our families maintain their sobriety for years after treatment.

Freedom House is one of very few nonprofit organizations nationwide that offers a Christ-centered, long-term residential program that allows mothers and children to stay together, at no cost to their families. We are a Christ-centered program focused on helping families overcome the spiritual poverty of addiction so they can live the lives God intended for them. The Freedom House program is intensive and holistic. Each mother has a tailored recovery plan to fit their specific recovery needs. All mothers focus on health through nutrition and exercise plans, spiritual and emotional needs through individualized and group counseling, and go through daily personal and group studies, some of which include job training, codependency, anger and financial management, and parenting.

There are three steps to our application process. The first step is for a potential resident to fully complete our application. Upon submitting the application, one of our employees will contact you within two business days to follow up with you.  The second step is to work with our Program Manager to submit all required documents and complete any necessary forms.  Finally, we require all applicants to meet with a Freedom House employee for a screening either by phone, Skype, or in person.  At this time, if it is determined that we can adequately meet your needs at Freedom House, you will be given an admission date.

Prior to entry, there is a one-time admission fee currently priced at $750.
Once a woman enters our program with her children, all living expenses including meals, utilities, transportation, rooming, curriculum, therapy, necessary personal care items, etc are all included for no cost for the duration of their stay, up to one year. When the woman graduates, she can live rent free in our after care home while she gets a job and begins to save for a place of her own.
The expenses not covered are prescription medications. 

This fee is kept low-cost to make our program as accessible as possible to a woman who is in need. If this fee is a financial hardship, please contact us. We never want cost to be a reason someone can’t access help.

At Freedom House, you can expect to be welcomed into our family. We believe that everyone, regardless of their past choices, should be treated with respect and dignity. We live as a family, eat as a family, and work together. We also believe that the road to recovery is not an easy one and therefore we have high standards for our residents. We expect you to work diligently on your recovery, meet with our counselors, follow our health and nutrition plan, adhere to our daily schedule, and attend our employment training program. We have high expectations for those in our program; however, if you invest into this program, you can expect to receive high impact and great rewards.
