At The Freemen House, we provide a supportive and structured environment to help individuals on their journey toward long-term sobriety. Our program is designed to offer guidance, accountability, and the tools necessary for residents to rebuild their lives, focusing on personal growth, recovery, and reintegration into society. By working closely with residents, we aim to foster a sense of community, responsibility, and spiritual development as they navigate their recovery journey.
The program at The Freemen House is centered around key objectives that guide each resident’s recovery process. Our goals are to ensure that residents build a solid foundation for sobriety and establish a healthy, sustainable lifestyle. The objectives for each resident during their stay include:
Working Through the 12 Steps: With the support of a sponsor, residents are expected to engage in the 12-step recovery process of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), or Heroin Anonymous (HA).
Spiritual Development: Residents are encouraged to seek a personal and meaningful relationship with God, as they understand Him, to foster spiritual growth and guidance in their recovery journey.
Healthy Reintegration into Society: We aim to help residents lay the groundwork to become productive, contributing members of society, equipped with the tools to live a life of purpose and responsibility.
For the best outcomes, residents are expected to commit to the program for at least three months, with the intention of staying for a full year. We believe that this time commitment provides the best opportunity for sustained recovery and personal growth.
To ensure success in recovery, The Freemen House has established clear program requirements that all residents must adhere to. These requirements are designed to promote accountability, personal responsibility, and active participation in recovery.
Residents are encouraged to actively seek and nurture a relationship with God, as part of their spiritual and personal development.

Volunteering in the community is required as a way for residents to give back and develop a sense of purpose and connection.
