We provide critical human services that protect the community and inspire dignity by empowering the innate goodness in every human being. New Freedom is introducing and launching a state-of-the-art behavioral health campus model concept of treatment programs in collaboration with Gold Canyon Heart & Home (GCHH), an AZ based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a 17-year track record of hands on recovery & reentry programming. The end product is a fully cohesive continuum of complete behavioral health care treatment. The inaugural campus location is in the heart of Central Phoenix where a 248 room hotel-resort was converted into the first of it's kind, a true behavioral health haven retreat. Here New Freedom provides a treatment environment unparalleled in the industry. Our the intention are to the client and experience of self-worth that all humans deserve. New Freedom has a focus on individuals reentering society from both incarceration and substance abuse. Our doors are open to any individual who is willing to seek a new way of living. We do this from the help of our friends at Gold Canyon Heart & Home, a nonprofit organization that has been mentoring at risk individuals through a peer-to-peer model since 2006. They call this program In-Reach. Like most organizations who perform out-reach, we have an In-Reach. New Freedom has set forth on a ground breaking plan that includes the breakdown of the economic viability for both the provider and clientele and a clear-cut pathway to generate sustainable Continuum of Care. New Freedom has also identified opportunities for utilizing pre-existing programs, services, and resources. This vision laid forth also presents the evidence of GCHH’s research and first hand experiences in the community as well as in DOC and how to implement its findings into effective mental wellness health practices, standards and policies for service.
