About The Freedom Center

The Freedom Center is a dual diagnosis treatment center that offers intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and partial hospitalization (PHP). The dual diagnosis program plan can address both mental health conditions and addiction, all while helping clients transition into sobriety at their own pace. Clients work with a compassionate care team to determine the specific needs of the individual. The programs offer everything from the basics, such as individual therapy and medication-assisted treatment, to holistic treatment and legal aid. The Freedom Center also provides a family program to support the whole family through the process.
The Freedom Center is located in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The clean and bright facility offers plenty of space, as well as private meeting rooms for individual counseling. The Freedom Center is accredited by the Joint Commission and accepts most private insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does The Freedom Center accept Medicaid?
SAMHSA data does not list Medicaid among this facility's accepted payment types. Call (866) 705 4797 directly to confirm — coverage may have changed since the last SAMHSA sync. You can also browse other MD centers that accept Medicaid.
What level of care does The Freedom Center offer?
Does The Freedom Center have specialized programs?
SAMHSA data does not list specialized populations. The facility may still offer specialty tracks — confirm directly.
What therapy methods does The Freedom Center use?
Specific therapy approaches are not listed in SAMHSA data. Contact the facility for clinical details.
How do I start treatment at The Freedom Center?
Call the facility directly at (866) 705 4797 for an intake assessment. Our free 24/7 helpline (+1 (205) 973-2878) can also help you compare programs, verify insurance, and navigate options. No physician referral is required.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
