About New Freedom Academy

New Freedom Academy (NFA) Salem is an outpatient addiction treatment center. As part of Granite Recovery Centers' network, NFA Salem offers a structured, step-down approach to care, transitioning clients from more intensive programs like day treatment (PHP) to intensive outpatient program (IOP) as they progress in their recovery journey. The facility emphasizes a blend of evidence-based therapies and 12-Step programming for a comprehensive approach.
NFA Salem provides a range of services, such as individual counseling, group therapy, family therapy, and specialized programs such as dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health disorders. The center also offers holistic therapies like yoga and meditation, as well as trauma-informed care and relapse prevention strategies. Clients in the IOP attend sessions from 9:00 AM to 12:20 PM, three times a week, participating in three group sessions per day and receiving breakfast and lunch during their visits.
NFA Salem serves adults aged 18 and older, including veterans and members of the LGBTQ+ community, providing both in-person and telehealth options to accommodate various preferences and needs. The facility is staffed by licensed clinicians and recovery professionals, including some alumni of the program, bringing personal insight and empathy to their roles. NFA Salem accepts most major insurance plans, making its services accessible to a broader population.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year.

Understanding Your Treatment Options

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

New Freedom Academy offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. New Freedom Academy works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
