Why choose us? What makes it different than other addiction treatment centers?
Freedom Recovery in Dayton stands out for its long-term, step-down IOP model that provides sustained support over 32 weeks. This, combined with flexible morning/evening schedules, MAT-friendliness, and acceptance of Ohio Medicaid, makes it a practical and accessible choice for real-world recovery.
What substance use disorder treatment programs do you offer?
We offer a comprehensive Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) with a structured step-down process. We do not offer residential or detox services at this location.
How do you treat dual diagnosis?
We address co-occurring mental health conditions through our evidence-based therapy programs. For medication management and psychiatric evaluations, we partner with third-party psychiatrists and nurse practitioners who provide services via convenient telehealth appointments.
What types of therapies do you use in your addiction treatment programs?

Does this program use the 12-steps?
Yes, 12-step principles are a component of the program. While the core clinical model is evidence-based, clients are exposed to the steps and encouraged to attend community 12-step meetings as part of a comprehensive recovery plan.
Is the program faith-based?
There are conflicting reports on this. The program was founded by Christians and may have faith elements or encourage belief in a higher power. However, admissions staff have also described the program as not being faith-based. We recommend calling directly to discuss the role of faith in their program to see if it aligns with your needs.
How long has the organization been open?
Freedom Recovery was founded and began serving the community in 2016.
Do you treat co-occurring mental disorders?

Cost & Admission
What will my costs be for treatment?

Do you accept insurance for substance use disorder treatment?
Yes, we accept Ohio Medicaid plans (including CareSource, Buckeye, Molina) and most major private insurance plans such as United Healthcare, Anthem BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, and others.

Is Suboxone (MAT) permitted?
Yes, our program is MAT-friendly. We fully support clients who are on medications like Suboxone. We can also accommodate clients on Methadone, although we do not prescribe it on-site.
Daily Life & Rules
How long will I be there?
The entire step-down IOP program is designed to last approximately 32 weeks. This begins with 12 weeks of intensive programming (4-5 days/week), followed by a gradual reduction in session frequency each month.
Can I use my phone? Is smoking allowed?

Support, Staff & Community
Who provides care here? Are there psychiatrists on staff?
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.
Who else will be in treatment with me? What is the group size?
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. Group sizes are typically between 10-20 participants.
What kind of aftercare and follow-up support is available?
The program itself is designed as a long-term, gradual aftercare plan. By slowly stepping down the frequency of sessions over 32 weeks, you are gently transitioned back into full independence. At the conclusion of the program, we assist with creating a personalized relapse prevention plan and connecting you with community resources like 12-step meetings.
