If the family, client, or our staff feel that sober living is still not appropriate after completing the six week program we have designed a step-down Secondary Care transitional living program. In Secondary Care the client will have access to four hours per week of traditional IOP therapy with Bonnie as well as daily house meetings, transportation to 12-step meetings, and access to the YMCA. New Freedom Transitional Living Secondary Care will give the client an opportunity to take smaller steps towards independence by continuing treatment while thoroughly working a 12-step program.

The idea behind our transitional living house is that our clients need to be thoroughly educated about their condition and ready for their sober living experience; this means that they must begin to work a 12-step program and here at New Freedom Transitional Living House we will start that process with them. Upon assessment and successful completion of New Freedom Transitional Living House clients will move on to New Freedom Recovery House which is a six month program dedicated to teaching young men how to stay sober once they are out on their own.

New Freedom Recovery House is where we begin to find freedom from our problems with alcohol and drugs. Clients live with a group of men for the purpose of taking steps toward principles of recovery, gaining new levels of self-esteem and serenity that they never dreamed possible. Members of the house are required to work all 12 steps and find employment in order to become self-supporting; paying their own rent for the final five months of their stay is required. Our name implies that our clients will learn how to find a new freedom and a new happiness out of life. Clients practice the daily challenges of life free from the need for alcohol or other mood altering chemicals. New Freedom's goal is to promote freedom, happiness and peace in a setting that is conducive to a complete and fulfilling recovery. Clients at New Freedom Recovery House are required to comply with various recovery-oriented standards. Such standards include the prohibition of alcohol and all mood altering drugs and chemicals; the attendance of in-house and external meetings along with respect for each other’s privacy, safety and possessions.

New Freedom Recovery House immerses its members in traditional 12-step programs while recognizing that fun, making a living, and enjoying healthy relationships with family, friends, and the community are critical components of a successful and fulfilling recovery. Living according to New Freedom standards may be the most difficult undertaking of our clients' lives. These standards demand surrender of old ideas and agendas. Our experience can be the clients shortcut past the frustrating and incomprehensible demoralization they have inflicted and endured. Their strength is renewed by practicing for the next right action and learning to ask for help. They cannot undertake this challenge alone and we will do whatever it takes to give them the opportunity to live life...free!

Here at New Freedom we understand that the disease of alcoholism and addiction is not limited to the individuals who are drinking and using. This is a family condition and just as the user needs treatment so does the family. This is why New Freedom, through the Valley Hope Association’s AC/ESS online classroom, offers a convenient family counseling program. This program is designed for family members of clients who are attending New Freedom and allows the family to complete this program on their own schedule in the comfort of their own home. Counselors are available to work daily with family members. The program consists of educational modules that each family member is asked to complete.

Many clients who arrive here at New Freedom struggle with complications resulting from DUI charges. In most states, once a person is issued a DUI they lose their driving privileges until they meet certain requirements. The Valley Hope Association offers an online program, recognized by most states, allowing New Freedom clients to meet their DUI requirements and regain their driving privileges. New Freedom is proud to offer this service to our clients; this is a common struggle for those in early sobriety and we are compelled to take care of this issue as soon as possible enabling our client’s to get their new life off to a great start.

New Freedom knows that health is important and that most addicts have not taken care of themselves. Dr. Barbara Brooks is New Freedom's Chief Medical Officer and is all about bringing affordable health care to the community. Dr. Brooks will handle medication management and address all common health concerns that may arise during the client's stay here at New Freedom.

For our clients, living in an environment free from drugs and alcohol is very critical to early sobriety. New Freedom has mandatory drug screenings, we reserve the right to test any client at any time for any reason. Our testing is done up to twice-weekly. Our screening allows not only for detection of the most common drugs, we also have our lab process the specimen for many of the newer and harder to detect drugs such as Spice. New Freedom is a state of Arizona CLIA licensed facility. The screening process is mandatory and is covered by your Health Insurance.
