Featured Success Story
A Community I Belong To
Dean | Graduated March 2021
“It was the idea that somebody out there other than my mom who passed away actually cared about me. I chose to come to New Freedom and to my surprise they were at the gate to pick me up. There is something truly special about that moment when you’re released and someone is there for you at your most vulnerable.”

I Am Truly Home
Brian | Graduated January 2022
“I read it and asked my friend, ‘Who is this person?’ and ‘How often do you receive letters like this?’ I had never seen any program like this before. I told him, ‘The woman who wrote this letter actually cares about you, dude. She wholeheartedly gives a crap about you as a human being.’ I was all in right there. I wanted in.”
Take Your Time
Eddie | Graduated December 2021
“Every time I walked through these doors, I received the same kind of love I felt on my first day here. That in turn, has been what has compelled me to be that love for others.”
Learn to Love, Seek Truth, and Help Others
Kenneth | Graduated September 2021
“My spirit slowly started healing and my behavior changed. I started finding things that worked for me and discarded the rest. My life improved by seeking the truth. When I started to work on my emotional, mental, and spiritual health, my body began to heal as well.”
My Life Is An Outward Demonstration Of Forgiveness
Josh | Graduated September 2021
“I still carry around my graduation coin. That coin reminds me that I am part of something bigger than myself. It reminds me that I am part of a community that values courage and authenticity. I took the values of New Freedom to heart and it has never let me down since. I am part of a family.”
When You Win, The Entire Community Wins
Greg | Graduated July 2021
“My journey with New Freedom did not end there; it was just beginning. I often came back to do volunteer work, and I always knew this was home for me, a safe-zone. This is what helped me stay clean and sober. That is the gift of New Freedom: it’s family.”
A Walk Through Those Doors
Nicko | Graduated May 2021
“It has been two years since I first walked through those doors at New Freedom. Since then, I have made a lot of mistakes. I have lost people I love. I have helped bring a new life into this world. Now I have a legion of support around me that I can call on when I am in need. New Freedom provided me with a community I didn’t know existed.”
