Freeman Recovery Center - Dickson

Outpatient Treatment to Fit Daily Life

Freeman Recovery Center in Dickson offers a partial hospitalization program (PHP), intensive outpatient care (IOP), and regular outpatient sessions. Scheduling is flexible and telehealth options are available, allowing clients to fit treatment around their responsibilities. During PHP, all-day programming — eight hours per day, six days per week — is paired with sober living accommodations at night. Staff provide transportation to sober living in the evenings, so clients don’t have to worry about getting back and forth on their own.

Christian and Traditional Recovery Tracks

For clients that want a spiritual component to their recovery, a Christian faith-based recovery program — Arise — is offered. Those who want a secular approach can choose a traditional recovery path. This allows clients to choose what works for them based on their values and goals.

Addressing Co-Occurring Mental Health and Trauma

Clients who have mental health conditions or trauma alongside their substance use can get treatment for both at the same time. Therapies such as CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed EMDR are used to get to root causes of substance use and address them. Along with medications for addiction treatment (MAT), specialists can prescribe mental health medications for those who need them.

Full Continuum of Care Within the Same Network

About six miles from the outpatient center in Dickson, Freeman Recovery Center runs withdrawal management (detox) and residential treatment in Burns. If clients in outpatient care find they need a higher level of structure and support, they can step up to residential treatment without going far. Clients from the residential center can also step down to outpatient when they are ready.

Flexible Tech Policy

To stay in touch with family and daily responsibilities during treatment, use of personal electronic devices such as smartphones is allowed; certain limitations are in place based on individual treatment plans.
