About

About Freedom House Recovery Center Facility Based Crisis and Detox Center

Freedom House Recovery Center opened in 1974 as a small detox center and residential program for ten people. Five decades later, the agency operates a 16-bed Facility-Based Crisis (FBC) unit and detox center on New Stateside Drive in Chapel Hill, along with residential substance use programs and outpatient clinics in Durham, Roxboro, Norlina, and Warrenton. The FBC building serves as the acute entry point: 24/7/365 admission, medical monitoring through withdrawal, and crisis stabilization for clients in psychiatric or substance-use emergencies.

Clinically, the unit handles the highest-acuity end of Freedom House’s continuum. Medical detox is the headline service, but the FBC designation under North Carolina rules also means the unit can stabilize psychiatric crises and dual-diagnosis presentations without immediate hospitalization. From there, clients can step down into Freedom House’s residential substance use programs, the SAIOP and SACOT outpatient tracks, medication management, medication-assisted therapy, or community-based mobile crisis follow-up.

Leadership reflects the agency’s depth. Dr. James Groce serves as Medical Director, and Christopher Scoville (MSW, MBA, LCSW, LCAS) is Clinical Director, providing clinical leadership across the mental health and substance use service lines. The organization holds CARF accreditation and carries the National Health Service Corps badge, recognizing service in designated health professional shortage communities.

Freedom House serves veterans, pregnant women, young adults, seniors, and court-ordered referrals among its listed populations. Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay are all accepted. For admission, call 919-942-2803, the 24-hour crisis line at 919-967-8844, or the mobile crisis number 866-275-9552.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders
