Who we serve
Adults in long-term recovery from substance use disorder.
New Freedom Village is a residential recovery community for adults who are ready to commit to one to two years of structured sober living. Residents come from a range of backgrounds — coming out of treatment, re-entry from incarceration, homelessness, or simply tired of cycling through 30-day programs.
We meet residents where they are and walk with them into the life they want next.
Possible progression
A path, not a timeline.
Every resident's journey is individualized and based on readiness — not the calendar. Not every resident moves through every phase. This is the path that's possible.

The campus
A village, designed for recovery.

Men's residence
Structured sober living for men in recovery.
Women's residence
Structured sober living for women in recovery.
Community center
The shared heart of campus — meals, gatherings, fellowship.
Meeting room
On-site space for 12-step meetings, classes, and group work.

Hands-on work, food production, and time in nature.
Outdoor gathering space
Open-air space for community, recreation, and recovery events.
Family support
Recovery rebuilds families, too.
Addiction breaks families. Recovery can put them back together. We work with residents — and with the family-service organizations around us — to make reunification real.
- ◆Parenting classes
- ◆Family reunification support
- ◆Family visitation policies
- ◆Partnerships with family-service organizations
Daily life
Classes, work, service, and play.
Boredom causes relapse. Our days are full — purposeful, structured, and joyful.

We are not a clinical provider. We connect residents to licensed outside counselors, medical, and psychiatric care — and provide the transportation to get there.
Codependency & relationships
Learning healthy boundaries and how to get along with others.
Parenting
Practical support for residents reuniting with their children.
Financial literacy
Budgeting, saving, prudent reserves, and breaking the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle.
Job skills & job training
Résumé, interview prep, vocational pathways, and transportation to work.
Body work
Physical therapy, gym time, dance, nutrition, and outdoor activity.
Arts & spirit
Music, painting, pottery, writing — finding God in the arts.
Animal therapy
Equine, aquarium, and animal-assisted therapy programs.
A recovery residence, not a medical facility.
New Freedom Village is a recovery residence — a structured sober living community grounded in peer support, the Twelve Steps, work, education, and service.
We do not provide medical treatment, detox services, or prescribe medications. Residents who need clinical care — including therapy, psychiatric services, or medication-assisted treatment (MAT) — receive that care from licensed outside providers, and we actively support and coordinate with those providers as part of each resident's plan.
The agreement
What we ask of every resident.
The program is grounded in the foundational recovery text written by Bill Wilson, which has saved thousands of lives. It works when you work it — and we expect you to work it.
