About Freedom House – Glen Gardner
Since 1986, Freedom House has served adults battling substance use and co-occurring disorders in Clinton, New Jersey. This CARF-accredited rehab provides gender-specific residential programs and various levels of outpatient care.
One of the great things I noticed about them is they’ll never deny services based on your ability to pay. They accept some private insurers and NJ Medicaid. If you’re an uninsured New Jersey resident, you may also be eligible for grant funding to get the care you seek.
Their programs emphasize discipline and accountability to help you reach your recovery goals. You can access long-term care or less immersive sessions to meet you where you are in recovery. You’ll benefit from proven therapeutic interventions, including group and individual sessions, case management, educational sessions, peer recovery services and medication assisted treatment (MAT).
A standout feature that caught my eye was their long-term residential program for men. This highly structured track provides a gender-specific approach emphasizing accountability. You’ll participate in tiered phases, gaining more freedom as you progress in treatment. With an average stay of four to six months, the program gives you plenty of time to build and reinforce coping skills while gaining the tools for self-sufficiency.
One of my favorite things about this program is the graduation requirements. They ensure you set yourself up for success before leaving treatment. Along with completing all recovery assignments, you’re required to save at least $1000, secure stable housing and employment, and actively participate in a 12 Step group. I think this is a great recipe to prepare you for sustained recovery in daily life.
Another wonderful element I noticed was their treatment accessibility. They offer daily morning, evening, and weekend sessions if outpatient treatment is the best fit for you. You can also access in-person and virtual sessions. They ensure you can easily fit treatment into your schedule while maintaining other responsibilities.
