They’ve a long history of supporting thousands of individuals facing mental health challenges since their founding in 1977. Their care also assists those with severe and persistent mental illness.
Residential and Recovery Services
I’m impressed by the extensive services available, especially for those in need of residential care. FREE offers specialized programming to help people manage their illness and build fulfilling lives.
If you need day support, they also offer Personalized Recovery Oriented Services. This unique program combines clinical treatment, rehabilitation and support services tailored to your goals.
Addressing Co-Occurring Challenges Head On
It seems to me the Behavioral Health Services Division isn’t a traditional addiction treatment center or drug rehab. Instead, they offer a crucial lifeline for those with a primary diagnosis of severe mental illness. This can often include co-occurring substance abuse issues.
They provide essential resources, from crisis services to a mental health clinic to allow clients to get the urgent help they need to move forward toward a meaningful and self-directed future. These include assistance with securing housing, obtaining higher education, finding employment and medication management.
FREE accepts Medicaid, Medicare and some private insurance. They also depend on donations to fund their programs and make care accessible to those in need.
