About Mary Hall Freedom House

Mary Hall Freedom House, founded in 1996, is situated in Atlanta, Georgia, and is a drug rehab center specializing in treating opioid addiction, alcoholism, and dual diagnosis. This addiction treatment center provides housing and addiction treatment services to women and children and has served more than 18,000 people since it was founded.

Mary Hall Freedom House only treats women battling drug and alcohol addiction. This rehab center primarily offers three treatment programs: a residential treatment program, an intensive outpatient treatment program (IOP), and a day treatment program. See below to learn more about these helpful programs and the services they provide:

The substance abuse day treatment center is a time limited, medically monitored program Mary Hall Freedom House offers. This program provides clients with comprehensive and intensively structured addiction services, including group therapy sessions and individual case management.

The residential treatment program offered by this rehab center is run by organized and professionally trained staff. These staff provide 24/7 services 365 days a year.

This program aims to help women by providing a safe, structured environment to promote recovery and sobriety. Those who need ongoing care can receive individual and group counseling alongside other dual diagnosis addiction treatment services.

At Mary Hall Freedom House, the intensive outpatient program (IOP) specifically focuses on helping women secure employment alongside accomplishing set treatment goals. During this IOP, women will learn coping skills alongside relapse prevention to ensure they can function more self sufficiently in their communities.

This IOP is operational at different times of the week on different days. How long a woman is part of this IOP depends on individual substance abuse treatment needs.

For almost 3 decades Mary Hall Freedom Village has been dedicated to changing the world one woman at a time. In my research, there is no better testament to community, loving thy neighbor and helping one another rise from the ashes of substance abuse disorder. Mary Hall Freedom Village doesn't just change the lives of every woman and child who is welcomed into the program, it also reunites families. I would recommend this 501C3 non-profit to anyone who believes that anything is possible with love.

My experience at Mary Hall has changed my life for the greater good. I had come in scared not knowing what to expect, to being embraced and welcomed with open arms. From the consolers really giving a damn about you and going to bat and fighting for you during your recovery and the classes and meetings, being able to express yourself and share without judgement, and to rest in a safe environment. Candace, my consoler stood on principle and made sure I had all tools and everything that I needed for the program and when I leave the program. Ms. T, the Behavior Health Coordinator, stands on business and holds you accountable, and I LOVE IT!!! She listens and will check you when you're wrong. When coming to Mary Hall, being serious about your recovery is a must. If you're not serious about your recovery, this is not the place for you!!! As for me, the program works and the miracle will and does work

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Treatments

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.

A quality drug rehab in Georgia can help you overcome addiction. This environment is designed to help you address the complex issues contributing to drug dependence. The goal of treatment is to give you the tools you need to make a full recovery.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

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 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.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

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.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

FINALLY feeling like myself

Came in lost, left feeling like myself again. They didn’t just treat addiction, they helped me find purpose. I wish fitness was more consistent but group work and structure kept me grounded. Solid program.

Got myself together here!

I came in barely holding it together, PTSD had me on edge and drinking daily. The trauma therapy, especially EMDR, really made a dent in the walls I’d built. Staff knew what they were doing. I met other vets who got it, which helped more than I expected. Food was hit or mi ... Read More

Loved the Art Therapy

As a nonbinary person, I’ve had awful luck finding spaces that don’t misgender or judge. This place wasn’t perfect but def tried. Groups were solid, art therapy helped me reconnect with myself. Wish housing was more gender-aware though.

When I tell you that MHFV is the TRUTH it is just that. From the time you walk through the doors you feel safe, respected, and loved.. The staff here are amazing and fights for you like God warriors! Like any many places there are those that go above and beyond like Ms. Belinda, Ms. Tenekia, Ms. Joann, Ms Merlyn, Ms. Stephanie, Ms Candace and the CEO Ms Lucy! Just to name a few, upon entry you will have the pleasure of meeting Ms. Shalynn and Ms. Sharon wonderful caring women. Next the Medical Staff really fights for you on day one until you’re able to manage them on your own! They are Ms. Lois, Ms. Terri, Ms. Marion and Ms. Genice. Lastly the living arrangements and the abundance of food. There are two different living arrangements 1. ROD which is huge!! To say the least each apartment is equipped with beds, dressers, fully stocked kitchens and Community food with a bright Sunroom! 2nd The Donna Center with so many rooms available and well decorated! The kitchen is a fully stocked industrial kitchen. Here at MHFV the tools and classes prepare you for Life on Life terms. The motto here is We Will Love You Until You Learn To Love Yourself!!! I could go on and on but if you come trust and believe you won’t be disappointed!!! See you all soon ,space is limited so don’t delay your stay!!! *******UPDATE******* Just when I thought it could not get any better, MHFV hired a new Employment Specialist. Ms. Nicole, possesses a deep understanding of employment services, including career counseling, job placement, resume building, and skills assessment. I am consistently impressed with her professionalism, dedication, and expertise in workforce development. Her ability to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds, assess their needs, and develop individualized employment plans is exceptional. She consistently demonstrates compassion, patience, and a strong commitment to helping individuals overcome barriers to employment and achieve their career goals. In addition to their technical skills, Ms. Nicole is an excellent communicator and a strong collaborator. She works effectively with community organizations, employers, and internal teams to create opportunities for clients. Her positive attitude, strategic thinking, and results-driven approach has made a significant impact on on the clients with numbers currently at 75% of the clients being gainfully and happily employed. Thanks for all you do Ms. Nicole, we truly are glad that your here!!!!

Looking around at my current situation, I feel grateful. I'm safe at Mary Hall. I'm cared for. I'm loved. They offer classes that helped me with my codependency. They have helped me successfully get my children back and taught me how to manage motherhood with their parenting classes and by mentally, emotionally and physically supporting me. I love Ms. Lucy and everything she has poured her time and passion into here. I give them 5 stars but they deserve 10. This program saved and changed my entire life. I have been here over a year, because they have my back. I have a warm bed, food, clothing, water, and love. Thank you Mary Hall and everyone that makes up that anointed name!

I have been reading these reviews and something is sticking out like a sore thumb. Many people have done extraordinarily well after completing this program. First, nothing in this world is perfect. So to expect perfection out of it, is irrational. Mary Hall helped me twice so far. It is my second favorite treatment facility and that says a lot because I have been to quite a few of them. I did not experience what the bad reviews say. Mary Hall does have you walk to your groups and it is a difficult walk if you're out of shape but if you have your kids with you, you won't have to walk everyday because you would have to be at the bus stop on time. I only ever witnessed one woman use while there and those of us who noticed raised hell and the woman left on her own accord because they put her on a behavioral contract where she had to get searched everyday. After two days of searches, she bailed. So the claim that the women there are just using drugs and staff doesn't care is ridiculous as I never witnessed that while there TWICE. Lucy Hall's story hits home for Me. She started off with one apartment and now look at her legacy! What a legacy!! Is it perfect? No. But nothing in this world is. If walking 3 miles is too difficult for you, you may want to consider RIGHT SIDE UP, HOPE HOUSE OF AUGUSTA, or MOTHERS MAKING A CHANGE. But you may not obtain affordable housing with those other programs. Mary Hall seems to be the only program that provides emergency and affordable housing. That's huge because where are these women supposed to go if they don't have anywhere to go upon completion of treatment? If you want to complain about this program then that must mean you don't need their help. They are providing a service just like the drive-thru. And nothing is free so if you're getting free housing and free transportation, I don't understand why you're complaining.

When I got to Mary Hall I was broken and at my end. I knew that I didn’t want to have a life of drinking and druging any longer. I had to do something different. I had to come to the realization that I would have to come to Mary Hall without my baby. I had Dfcs in my life and thankfully a great friend that I was aloud to sign temporary custody to while I worked on myself. I felt like the best thing for me was to focus on me so I could be better for my children. I wanted to get everything Mary hall had to offer. I done day class for three months. My favor class was Ms. Lucy’s class where people read their life story’s it let me know I was not alone. Her class was dancing and signing at the beginning which to someone who is shy it helped me to come out of my shell. I also loved Ms Belinda’s class. “I just can’t give up now!” (If you know you know) that song will forever help me more than she knows. Ms Sharons thinking for a change I took in all the information they had to offer and started slowing loving myself. I had a wonderful counselor Ms Dee ♥️ she helped me process and get through things that was holding me back. She really listened, let me cry and gave me good advice. I done freedom academy. This is a course they offered me to help me to learn to get job ready and get back into the world as a productive member of society. They help me with my resume and done mock interviews which again helped me so much because I hadn’t worked in so long and I am shy so it got me ready. I was able to get a job the day after these classes and still work at the same job today. The next step I took was three months of intense out patient class. This class I was able to process and continue relapse prevention. I loved this program and everything that they are about. Housing was some of my favorite people they could probably get more credit but them seeing us fills their hearts and it shows.♥️ The love I felt here I needed because when I walked through the doors I couldn’t even look in the mirror. They took time and helped each and everyone of us and we are a lot of girls so you could just imagine. I came closer to God and feel him working through this program. After completing my 6 months I signed up to stay another 6 months in a transitional housing program to continue working on myself in a after care program so I would be better prepared for when my daughter came home. I am thankful to Ms Rosa she was my after care counselor she is a very strong woman and I look up to her. Ms Pam is now my counselor and I’m not going to lie when I first got her I was scared of her but that was just because she is tough but she is sweet as can be. She teaches my aftercare class and I honestly get so much out of it. Ms Carla made sure that I got my visit when I should and worked with me for my parenting certificate. She cares for each one of the children like they are her own. She helped me with my Dfcs case and I am proud to say that as of today January 30th 2025 my case is officially closed and my daughter will be home tomorrow. 😊 we done it. And I say we because without Ms Lucy and her village of people I wouldnt be where I am at today. I love myself for the first time and want good things in my life. I have a lot of trauma in my story and I truly believe that if I would have went anywhere else these things would have not happened for me today. I will forever be thankful to God first and Mary Hall for everything they have done in our lives. I would recommend Mall Hall to anyone who is ready to have a new way of living without the use of drugs and or alcohol. It saved my life ♥️😊
