Treatment That Keeps Families Together

Freedom House 3, operated by Volunteers of America Mid-States, is designed for pregnant and parenting women who need treatment for substance use disorders. Unlike many programs, mothers can bring children under 18 to live with them throughout care, allowing recovery to happen without family separation. Licensed clinicians provide individual, group, and family therapy with intentionally small caseloads for personalized attention.

Phased and Flexible Care

Care is delivered in three phases, including high-intensity residential, low-intensity residential, and intensive outpatient with boarding. This progression helps clients stabilize before gradually reintegrating into the community. Therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care, alongside medications for addiction treatment (MAT) such as buprenorphine and naltrexone. Length of stay is guided by treatment progress rather than a preset number of days, offering flexibility based on individual needs.

Practical Supports for Daily Life

Recovery at Freedom House extends beyond therapy. Mothers receive CPS-qualified parenting classes, support for reunification and birth planning, childcare, and education on health and life skills. Vocational training and targeted case management help families prepare for stable housing, employment, and school opportunities. Peer support specialists provide mentorship, while health services address co-occurring conditions and offer HIV and hepatitis education and testing.

Accessible Admissions and Lasting Support

Freedom House removes barriers to entry with same-day, evening, and weekend admissions, plus transportation from anywhere in Kentucky. After treatment, mothers can access a strong alumni network and transitional housing for up to two years, with continued therapy and childcare support. These resources help families maintain stability while parents work, attend school, or volunteer, ensuring recovery continues well beyond the initial program.

Trust Score

A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.

Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities

CARF reviews rehab programs to make sure they provide respectful, effective, and personalized care. For addiction treatment, CARF uses standards developed with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), so this accreditation shows the program follows trusted, evidence-based guidelines for treating substance use.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
