Freedom Recovery West Columbus

The core residential (PHP) program typically lasts for six weeks. Following that, clients can continue in our step-down IOP and housing for up to a year, gradually decreasing their clinical hours as they reintegrate into the community.

You will live in a gender-specific apartment with 2 to 4 roommates. All rooms are shared, as the community living model is a key part of our program. There are no private rooms available.

No, this is an open campus. During the first 30 days, staff provides transportation for all necessary trips. After 30 days, clients in good standing can earn passes to leave the housing for approved activities before curfew.

Yes, you are allowed to have and use your personal cell phone. Yes, smoking and vaping are permitted in designated outdoor areas of the apartment complex.

Bring about a week's worth of comfortable, modest clothing, personal toiletries, your ID and insurance information, any prescribed medications in their original bottles, and your cell phone and charger. It is also a good idea to bring a small amount of spending money for groceries and personal items.

Please leave all illicit substances, alcohol, weapons, and non-prescribed medications at home. Avoid bringing excessive cash, valuable jewelry, or items that could be disruptive to the community environment. Clothing with inappropriate or substance-related graphics is not permitted.

Our program is based in an apartment complex. Clients reside in dedicated, gender-specific apartment units and attend programming at our nearby clinical office.

Our residential program combines PHP (all-day therapy) with community housing, offering an immersive experience. Our outpatient program (IOP) involves fewer hours of therapy per week (typically 3-5 days for 3 hours a day) while you live at home or in sober living, allowing for more flexibility to work or attend school.

Care is primarily provided by licensed counselors and support staff. While we do not have psychiatrists on-site, we partner with third-party medical providers who offer psychiatric and nurse practitioner services via telehealth.

You will be in treatment with a diverse group of co-ed adults (18+). Our clients come from various backgrounds and utilize Medicaid, private insurance, or self-pay options. Our maximum capacity is 56 clients, and therapy groups typically have 15-25 participants.

Family visits are permitted after a client has been in the program for 30 days. While formal family therapy is not a primary component, we encourage family support and communication as part of the recovery process.

Our primary aftercare offering is our own step-down Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Clients can seamlessly transition from the residential level of care to IOP, gradually reducing their time in therapy while increasing their independence. Unfortunately, there is no formal follow-up after a client fully discharges from the program.
