About Freedom House Recovery Center, Inc.

Freedom House Recovery Center is rooted in respect, compassion and caring. In 1974 Freedom House was founded as a non-profit half-way house and detoxification center for recovering adult alcoholics in Chapel Hill. What was present even in our earliest days is a drive to meet the ever-changing needs of individuals affected by addiction and mental illness by expanding both our services and geographic reach through innovative programs and partnerships.
Today, we have transformed into one of the largest providers of behavioral health care in our region, including integrated primary medical care, in a service area that encompasses some of the most distressed rural counties in the state.
Freedom House Recovery Center is a non-profit behavioral health care agency that provides a broad continuum of person-centered, comprehensive services for children, adolescents, adults and families who suffer from behavioral issues, mental illness or addiction. Freedom House has provided hope and healing to people of all ages, from all walks of life, for over 40 years.

Whether you (or a loved one) are experiencing a mental health and/or substance abuse crisis, Freedom House has a state-of-the-art Facility-Based Crisis Unit and offers an array of crisis support services to help:

23-Hour observation chairs – short-term intensive observation, evaluation and support for up to 23 hours, for people with mental illness and/or substance abuse issues; includes evaluation to determine if transfer to a more intensive and/or longer-term level of care is indicated.
