About The Freedom Center

The Freedom Center is a dual diagnosis treatment center that offers intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and partial hospitalization (PHP). The dual diagnosis program plan can address both mental health conditions and addiction, all while helping clients transition into sobriety at their own pace. Clients work with a compassionate care team to determine the specific needs of the individual. The programs offer everything from the basics, such as individual therapy and medication-assisted treatment, to holistic treatment and legal aid. The Freedom Center also provides a family program to support the whole family through the process.
The Freedom Center is located in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The clean and bright facility offers plenty of space, as well as private meeting rooms for individual counseling. The Freedom Center is accredited by the Joint Commission and accepts most private insurance.

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. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like The Freedom Center provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

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.

The Freedom Center 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 8 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Family 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. The Freedom Center works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
