About Freeman House Recovery

Highly rated on Google for its life-changing outcomes, Freeman House Recovery places clients in a supportive, all-in recovery environment for substance dependence, including ketamine addiction, alongside self-destructive patterns such as gambling, gaming, compulsive shopping, and workaholism. Set in an elegant mountain lodge, the center delivers tailored residential primary care, including medically managed detox, for as many as 23 clients at once, with a strong emphasis on each person’s well-being, happiness, and progress.

Freeman House Recovery uses evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused counselling. With three individual sessions each week, twice-daily group meetings, and the 12 Steps framework, clients learn strategies to handle cravings and overwhelming emotions, while developing understanding of how to reshape thoughts and behaviours. Activities and therapies are broadened with yoga, breathwork, martial arts, physiotherapy, creative arts, woodworking, gardening, and birdwatching.

At Freeman House Recovery, recovery is viewed as more than simply stopping substance use. A key part of the journey is building healthier self-growth. The programs encourage clients to move away from a victim mentality toward personal empowerment, take ownership of their decisions, prepare for difficult moments, and define meaningful goals for long-term development.

Freeman House Recovery provides private and shared rooms with comfortable bedding, calming interior design, and some options with balconies and impressive views. The lodge keeps men and women in separate areas and offers 24-hour security. Guests can enjoy gourmet dining, peaceful gardens, a pool, gym, sauna, cold plunge facilities, and a barbecue space. Phone access is allowed twice weekly (three times for international clients), and additional arrangements are available for those who require extra access for work-related duties.
