52 years of walking alongside our community in recovery 🌱

Since 1974, Freedom House Recovery Center has been a place where individuals can find support, rebuild their lives, and discover new possibilities for their future.

Our history is filled with stories of resilience, including this article from The Chapel Hill News in November 2000. It highlights 12 women in our residential recovery program who participated in an art project, using creativity to build confidence, express themselves, and give back to their community.

More than 25 years later, our commitment remains the same: helping people find hope, stability, and a path forward.
As we celebrate our 52nd anniversary this month, we're grateful for the individuals, families, staff, and community partners who have been part of our story.

Here's to 52 years of recovery, connection, and hope, and the many lives still to be changed.

Recovery looks different for everyone, and the support you need may change along the way.

At Freedom House Recovery Center, we offer a continuum of care to support individuals and families through different stages of mental health and substance use challenges.

Our services include:
- Mobile Crisis: Immediate, on-site support for individuals experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis.
- Facility-Based Crisis: A safe, supportive environment for individuals who need short-term stabilization and care.
- Tailored Care Management: Personalized support for eligible Medicaid members to receive coordinated care, connect with community resources, and access ongoing guidance as their needs change.
- Outpatient Care: Ongoing counseling and treatment for individuals who can continue their recovery while living at home.
- Residential Treatment: A structured, step-by-step program that provides guidance, stability, and support as individuals work toward long-term recovery.

Whether someone needs immediate help or continued support as they rebuild their "normal", Freedom House is here to walk alongside them.

We don’t always see what someone is going through. Behind familiar faces and everyday routines, there may be struggles they haven’t shared.

During Mental Illness Awareness Week, October 4–10, we join NAMI in raising awareness and sharing hope. Everyone deserves care, connection, and the opportunity to build a fulfilling life.

Freedom House offers support for mental health and substance use needs. Explore care for yourself or someone you love:

If someone you care about isn’t ready to accept help, knowing how to approach the conversation can make a difference.

Know the signs. Know who to call.

What would you do if a loved one suddenly stopped showing up to work, started isolating from family and friends, or began driving while impaired? Understanding when substance use has crossed into a crisis can be difficult, especially in the moment.

Our recent blog explains the warning signs to watch for, how to approach the conversation, and when to call 988, Mobile Crisis, or 911.

There is more ahead.

Another morning. Another conversation. Another dinner with someone you love. Another birthday. Another plan. Another opportunity to feel connected to your life and the people in it.

Hope is the quiet, brave belief that tomorrow is worth seeing. It begins by simply taking the next right step today.

If you or someone you know needs immediate support, call or text 988. If you need in-person support, call our mobile crisis team 866-275-9552.

"Before the Freedom House, I was battling a 30-year addiction that controlled much of my life. I was in and out of Jail, carrying a lot of anger, hurt, and confusion. I felt lost and trapped in a cycle that I did not know how to break.

Life today in recovery is something I am very proud of. I have been clean for 12 years and have built a life with purpose. I now work Full-Time at Freedom House, the place that helped change my life, and I have been a member of the TCM team for almost 4 years. My commitment to Freedom House comes from knowing firsthand that recovery is possible. Freedom House gave me an opportunity to change my life, and now I want to give that hope to others.

Recovery is possible, even when it feels difficult. Take it one day at a time, accept support, be honest with yourself, and never give up. If I can do it, you can too."

- Cheryl Brodie

There is no single picture of recovery.

It can look like a relationship rebuilt; a stable place to live; a routine that feels steady; a job to show up for, or a reason to believe in tomorrow.

You don't have to follow someone else's map to find your way home. Recovery looks different because every person is different.

But what never changes is that recovery is possible - for everyone.

Sometimes it just takes one person to say, “I see you.”

This Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, take time to notice the people around you. If someone seems overwhelmed, withdrawn, or just "off," don’t be afraid to reach out.

Pay attention to the signs, trust your concern, and don't wait for them to ask for help. Connection can be an important first step toward support.

If you or someone you know needs immediate support, call or text 988, or call our mobile crisis team at 866-275-9552.
