House of Freedom Review
In 1991, the late Pastor Esteban Morales, founded House of Freedom in Kissimmee, Florida. Morales’ own experience with addiction and recovery inspired him to help others. He dedicated his life to providing resources to those struggling with substance abuse and co-occurring disorders, both in Florida and Puerto Rico. House of Freedom offers residential and extended care for adults in 30-day, 90-day and 15-month programs at its main facility. Treatment is provided in both English and Spanish.
The House of Freedom Exclusive Executive Program offers a small number of people individualized care at a private location. Several outpatient programs are also available. Treatment incorporates Christian faith-based teachings and the 12-step philosophy. It also includes education, life skills and evidence-based practices and dual diagnosis support.

Treatment and Staff
Treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment so that an individualized treatment plan can be created. Detox is provided on-site if necessary and clients are given 24-hour medical care during the process. During primary care, clients attend group therapy daily and individual sessions several times a week, along with on and off-site 12-step meetings. Treatment employs the evidence-based practices of DBT, CBT and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Relapse prevention and life skills training are incorporated to prepare clients for more independent living. Clients are encouraged to apply for work and school during this period, in addition to creating a plan of action for aftercare—like finding sober living facilities and enrolling in House of Freedom’s outpatient therapy.
The interdisciplinary team of professionals at House of Freedom is composed of physicians, a psychiatrist, Master’s-level CADCs, LPCs, LCSWs, certified behavioral health technicians and certified personal trainers from the National Academy of Sport Medicine (NASM), which are also certified P90X professionals.
