Welcome to Freedom Recovery Center, a comprehensive addiction treatment facility committed to helping you achieve lasting recovery. These Terms and Conditions govern your use of our treatment services and facilities. By enrolling in our programs or accessing our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms. For questions, contact our admissions team at admissions@freedomrecoverynj.com or call (844) 910-1237.
“Patient” or “You” refers to any individual receiving treatment at Freedom Recovery Center. “Facility,” “We,” “Us,” or “Our” refers to Freedom Recovery Center, its staff, and representatives. “Services” means all treatment programs, therapeutic interventions, and medical care provided. “Treatment Program” refers to the individualized recovery plan developed for each patient.
Freedom Recovery Center accepts patients aged 18 and older seeking treatment for substance abuse and co-occurring disorders. Minors may be admitted with legal guardian consent. All prospective patients must undergo comprehensive pre-admission assessment including medical history, psychological evaluation, and substance use history. We reserve the right to deny admission if we cannot adequately meet a patient’s needs or if higher-level acute care is required. Required documentation includes valid photo identification, insurance information, medical records, current medications list, and emergency contacts.
Freedom Recovery Center provides evidence-based addiction treatment tailored to individual needs. Programs include medically supervised detoxification, residential inpatient treatment, intensive outpatient programs, partial hospitalization, and continuing care. Treatment modalities incorporate individual counseling, group therapy, family therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, medication-assisted treatment, holistic wellness approaches, and life skills training. All treatment is supervised by licensed professionals including physicians, nurses, therapists, and certified addiction counselors. Each patient receives an individualized treatment plan developed collaboratively with our clinical team and regularly reviewed throughout treatment.
You have the right to respectful, dignified care free from discrimination. You have the right to privacy and confidentiality of medical records under HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 federal regulations. You may participate actively in treatment planning, provide informed consent, refuse treatment, and leave the facility at any time. You have the right to access medical records, file grievances without retaliation, and receive visitors per facility policies.
You must provide accurate health information including medical history and substance use patterns. You must participate in your treatment program, attend scheduled sessions, follow your treatment plan, and comply with medication protocols. You must treat staff and fellow patients respectfully, refrain from violent or disruptive behavior, and adhere to facility rules. You are financially responsible for payment of services as outlined in your admission agreement.
Freedom Recovery Center protects your privacy in compliance with HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2, federal regulations governing substance abuse treatment confidentiality. Your identity, diagnosis, and treatment information will not be disclosed without written consent except as required by law. Permitted disclosures include medical emergencies, valid court orders, reports of child abuse or neglect, and threats of harm to self or others. All staff maintain strict confidentiality with penalties for unauthorized disclosure. Records are securely maintained and retained for minimum seven years following discharge.
We accept most major insurance plans and verify benefits prior to admission. Our admissions team explains your coverage including deductibles, co-payments, and out-of-pocket expenses. You are financially responsible for charges not covered by insurance. Payment is expected when services are rendered unless prior arrangements exist. We accept cash, credit cards, debit cards, and health savings accounts, and offer payment plans for qualified patients. For those without insurance, we offer private pay options and limited financial assistance based on need. Invoices are generated monthly with payment due within thirty days. Failure to meet payment obligations may result in collections referral. Refund requests are reviewed case-by-case considering services rendered and administrative costs.
Freedom Recovery Center maintains a safe, therapeutic, drug and alcohol-free environment. Possession, use, or distribution of illicit substances or unauthorized alcohol results in immediate discharge. All patients and belongings are subject to search upon admission and during treatment. Prohibited items include weapons, illegal drugs, alcohol, drug paraphernalia, non-prescribed medications, and dangerous items. All medications must be surrendered to nursing staff and administered per physician orders. Violence, threats, harassment, sexual contact between patients, theft, and property destruction are strictly prohibited and result in disciplinary action including discharge. Patients must respect others’ privacy, maintain appropriate dress standards, and comply with quiet hours. Cell phone and electronic device use may be restricted during therapeutic activities. Visitors require advance approval and must follow facility schedules.
Treatment program lengths vary based on individual needs, typically 30 to 90 days for residential programs. Patients may leave voluntarily by providing written notice to clinical staff. We encourage discussion with treatment teams for proper discharge planning and aftercare arrangements. Involuntary discharge may occur for serious rule violations including violence, substance use, repeated non-compliance, or behaviors jeopardizing others’ safety and recovery. Medical discharge occurs if higher-level care is required. Against Medical Advice (AMA) discharges require signed documentation acknowledging potential risks. Prior to discharge, patients develop comprehensive aftercare plans including outpatient therapy, support groups, medication management, and sober living arrangements. Former patients maintaining sobriety may be eligible for readmission subject to clinical assessment and availability.
In medical or psychiatric emergencies, our staff provides immediate stabilization within our capabilities. If emergency transportation to acute care hospitals is necessary, we arrange emergency medical services. By accepting these terms, you consent to emergency medical treatment and transfer as deemed necessary by medical staff. You must provide emergency contact information for at least two individuals who can be notified during emergencies. Freedom Recovery Center shall not be liable for outcomes from emergency medical decisions made in good faith to preserve life and health.
While committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based treatment, we cannot guarantee specific outcomes or cure for addiction. Recovery is individualized, and success depends on patient commitment, participation, health conditions, and post-treatment choices. Relapse is recognized as part of recovery and does not constitute treatment failure or facility negligence. Freedom Recovery Center, its staff, and affiliates shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages. Our liability is limited to direct damages not exceeding amounts paid for services. Patients acknowledge responsibility for their own actions and decisions during and after treatment.
All treatment materials, educational content, and facility branding are proprietary to Freedom Recovery Center and protected by copyright. Patients may not record, photograph, reproduce, or distribute facility materials without written permission. Use of Freedom Recovery Center name and branding requires prior authorization. Patient testimonials and media releases require separate written consent.
Patients may file complaints through our designated Patient Advocate. Submit concerns in writing or verbally to staff who will document and forward appropriately. We aim to resolve complaints within ten business days. If unsatisfied with internal resolution, patients may contact state licensing agencies or accreditation bodies. We maintain a strict non-retaliation policy for patients filing legitimate grievances.
Freedom Recovery Center reserves the right to modify these Terms and Conditions at any time. Patients will be notified of material changes through written notice or email. Continued use of services after modifications constitutes acceptance of updated terms. Modified terms become effective upon the date specified in the notice.
These Terms are governed by the laws of New Jersey without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these terms or treatment services shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with applicable arbitration rules. Both parties waive the right to jury trial and class action participation. Arbitration decisions are final and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, remaining provisions remain in full effect. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Freedom Recovery Center regarding treatment services and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and representations.
By signing below, I acknowledge that I have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and Conditions. I consent to treatment at Freedom Recovery Center under these terms and confirm that I have had the opportunity to ask questions and receive clarification.
