This is a very good program! My son came back a different man. First program that worked for him. He already found a job and is doing really well. The people here really care about their clients and their problems.
About Freedom Farm Ministries
Freedom Farm Ministries is located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina. Freedom Farm Ministries is a Christian drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.
The mission of Freedom Farm Ministries is to seek the restoration of men broken by chemical addiction to the point of repentance by introducing them to the person and work of Jesus Christ as He is presented and proclaimed and described in the Bible.
Located on several acres of remote farm land in Ashe County North Carolina, the Safe House serves an average of ten men with an additional “house man” who supervises the program. While there is no set length of stay, most residents are able to be accepted into a Christian recovery program within four to five weeks of entering the Safe House. Weekly one-on-one counseling is provided.
Requirements for admission to the Safe House are chemical dependence and a life-threatening condition in the man’s current environment. Men must be very serious and have come to the end of themselves, ready for God to free them and release them from the bondage of addiction. These men are at risk of losing their lives if they remain where they are and continue in drug and/or alcohol use.

Treatment
Alcoholism
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug Addiction
There are many types of drug rehab in North Carolina. To receive treatment for addiction, you can choose from many inpatient and outpatient programs. Often, participants start with detox and work through a full continuum of care that continues with ongoing support for long-term recovery.
Opioid Addiction
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance Abuse
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Clinical Services
Group Therapy
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Life Skills
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Nutrition Therapy
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
