Freedom House began in 1974 as a small detox and residential program serving just ten individuals with a simple but powerful belief: recovery is possible.
What started as a modest program rooted in compassion and community has grown into one of the largest providers of behavioral health services in the region. Today, Freedom House is headquartered in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, with additional outpatient clinics in Durham, Roxboro, and Warrenton - expanding access to care while staying true to our original mission.
Over the years, our services have evolved, but our purpose never wavered. Though our teams and programs have grown, we remain committed to one guiding principle: recovery happens here - no matter who, no matter what, no matter when.
Our continuum of care now includes six residential substance use recovery homes across multiple counties, a 16-bed facility-based crisis unit, and 24/7/365 mobile crisis services supporting individuals and families wherever they are. Each service is grounded in dignity, evidence-based care, and the unwavering belief that everyone deserves a meaningful life filled with purpose.
For more than 50 years, we’ve walked alongside North Carolinians in some of their hardest moments - and we’re honored to continue that work.
Here’s to over five decades of healing, hope, and community care.
