About Freedom Institute: Programs, Staff & Mission

Freedom Institute is a nonprofit organization that has been treating addiction for over 47 years. Their intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides individual therapy, group therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), art therapy, acupuncture, meditation, and psychodrama. Freedom specializes in integrating dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and relational family therapy to treat clients. They believe that recovery outcomes increase when a support network is involved in the treatment process. While a client is in treatment, Freedom Institute works with a client’s family members and significant others, helping them to explore the impact of addiction on the family unit and to develop a healthier dynamic.
Freedom Institute recognizes the unique challenges and stresses faced by executives and working professionals seeking treatment. For this reason, they have created a specialized program that accommodates working schedules, while addressing the issues faced by this group. Their outpatient program takes place in the evenings and incorporates work-related issues into the curriculum such as burnout, work-life balance, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism.
