About Freedom House Recovery Center Inc Durham Outpatient Clinic

Freedom House Recovery Center's Durham Outpatient Clinic provides comprehensive addiction treatment through outpatient programs and intensive outpatient care. Operating since 1974, this CARF-accredited recovery center specializes in medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder and serves individuals with co-occurring mental health conditions.

Freedom House Recovery Center's Durham Outpatient Clinic has been serving the Durham County recovery community since 1974, offering specialized addiction treatment for individuals seeking structured support while maintaining their daily responsibilities. Located on Crutchfield Street, this CARF-accredited facility extends its reach throughout Durham, Chapel Hill, Roxboro, and Warrenton areas as a trusted recovery center for those committed to long-term sobriety.

The clinic provides two primary levels of care: standard outpatient programs and intensive outpatient programs (IOP), designed to meet individuals at different stages of their recovery journey. Their specialized focus on opioid use disorder treatment through medication-assisted treatment (MAT) sets them apart, while also addressing substance use disorders complicated by trauma, PTSD, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Both court-ordered clients and self-referred individuals find structured support through their comprehensive programming.

Treatment approaches center on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) combined with medication-assisted treatment, delivered by clinical leadership including Medical Director Dr. James Groce, MD, and Clinical Director Christopher Scoville, MSW, MBA, LCSW, LCAS. The clinic's certification as a Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) enables them to provide integrated care that addresses both addiction and mental health needs simultaneously.

Serving both men and women, the facility particularly excels in supporting individuals with dual diagnosis needs and those recovering from trauma. Their aftercare support includes ongoing medication-assisted treatment, outpatient follow-up, and peer support services. Extended operating hours on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, plus telehealth options, accommodate working individuals seeking recovery support. Crisis intervention services available 24/7/365 demonstrate their commitment to comprehensive community care beyond traditional outpatient programming.

Outpatient Programs & Intensive Treatment Options

Freedom House Recovery Center Durham offers flexible outpatient programs designed for individuals who need structured addiction treatment while maintaining work, family, or educational commitments. Their intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides more frequent sessions and comprehensive support for those requiring additional structure during early recovery or stepping down from residential treatment.

Both programs incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy and medication management services, with specialized tracks for opioid use disorder featuring medication-assisted treatment. The facility's extended hours on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, plus telehealth capabilities, ensure accessibility for working professionals and those with transportation challenges throughout Durham County and surrounding areas.

Dual Diagnosis & Trauma-Informed Care

The clinic specializes in treating individuals with co-occurring mental health conditions alongside substance use disorders, recognizing that effective addiction treatment must address underlying psychological factors. Their trauma-informed approach specifically serves those dealing with PTSD and trauma-related addiction, providing integrated care that treats both conditions simultaneously rather than in isolation.

As a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC), Freedom House Durham can provide comprehensive mental health services alongside addiction treatment, ensuring clients receive coordinated care for complex dual diagnosis presentations. This certification enables them to serve court-ordered clients and those with severe mental illness who might otherwise struggle to access appropriate integrated treatment.

Medication-Assisted Treatment & Aftercare Support

Freedom House Durham's medication-assisted treatment program addresses opioid use disorder through clinical pharmaceutical interventions combined with counseling and behavioral therapies. Under the direction of Medical Director Dr. James Groce, MD, the program provides ongoing medication management as part of comprehensive long-term recovery planning.

Aftercare support extends beyond initial treatment completion through continued medication-assisted treatment, regular outpatient follow-up appointments, and peer support services. This continuum approach recognizes that recovery is a long-term process requiring sustained community support and medical oversight, particularly for individuals managing opioid use disorder or complex dual diagnosis conditions.

Crisis Services & Emergency Support

Beyond standard outpatient programming, Freedom House Durham provides 24/7/365 mobile crisis services and walk-in crisis support for adults and children experiencing mental health or substance use emergencies. These services ensure that individuals in acute distress can access immediate professional intervention without waiting for scheduled appointments.

The availability of crisis intervention services demonstrates the facility's commitment to comprehensive community care, providing a safety net for individuals in recovery who may experience setbacks or acute mental health episodes. This level of emergency support is particularly valuable for clients with co-occurring disorders who may experience crisis situations requiring immediate professional response.
