Freehab
The Freehab treatment program is funded by Los Angeles Public Health – Substance Abuse Prevention and Control and provides much needed Medi-Cal based residential detox and treatment services to at risk young women 18-26 years old.
MISSION & PURPOSE
A Place for Safety, Healing, and Lasting Transformation
At our Freehab center has relocated to Carol’s Sanctuary in Van Nuys, where we provide residential treatment drug treatment ASAM levels 3.1, 3.3 and 3.5 and social model detox services to at-risk young women who are homeless, incarcerated and or victims of human trafficking. Four of our beds are designated for girls requiring withdrawal management in a safe setting.
The young women residing with us receive everything they need to get their lives back on track from therapy to high school diplomas, vocational training through community grants and a chance to save for a new life while working.
Freehab is a sociocultural residential treatment program for Transitional Age Young Women who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and suffering from drug or alcohol addiction, many refugees exiting foster care without a safe home to return to.
Freehab is a supportive environment that is free of the use of alcohol and/or the illicit use of drugs.
The Teen Project’s Freehab program is an intensive therapeutic healing environment. Our young women participate in 30 hours per week in individual/group education sessions and recovery planning.
Each of our young women are assigned a therapist and a case manager who assist them through their recovery process. Due to the fact that the majority of our women do not have a safe place to return to after care, we provide them with the life skills necessary to rebound from their circumstances.
Treatment Care & Opportunities
The Teen Project provides the young women with opportunities to obtain their GED or high school diploma and attend vocational school through the Work Force Investment Act Grant program. Since opening our doors in 2013, we have provided services to thousands of young women in need.
FREEHABS GOALS:
- Obtain their GED or high school diploma
- Attend vocational school through the Work Force Investment Act Grant program
At the Freehab center we offer healing and hope to young women who have survived human trafficking & homelessness.
Our Goal
Healing That Lasts
Our goal is not short-term stabilization, but full transformation. Upon graduation, each young woman leaves with:
- Permanent housing
- A career path or job placement
- Sobriety and emotional stability
- Savings and life skills for long-term success
- Require structured residential treatment and stability
