About New Freedom Center
New Freedom Center is a Bismarck, North Dakota nonprofit substance use treatment organization headquartered at 905 East Interstate Avenue in Burleigh County. The agency describes its mission as the restoration of health for individuals and families afflicted with or affected by addictive diseases, and it explicitly identifies addiction to illegal and prescription drugs, alcohol, and gambling as its three primary target conditions. The clinical framework is described as holistic, addressing the physical, spiritual, and psychological aspects of addictive disease rather than treating any single dimension in isolation.
The organization runs a continuum that begins with evaluation services. Substance Use Disorder Assessments are conducted on a scheduled basis Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and they serve both individuals seeking treatment voluntarily and those mandated to complete an evaluation through court order. From there, the program can route clients into medical detox, residential treatment, an outpatient program, or an intensive outpatient program (IOP), depending on the assessment results.
New Freedom also operates recovery housing through a Sober Living and Recovery Housing Assistance Program branded as “Tied for Second,” which offers therapeutic and recovery support for clients transitioning out of higher levels of care. The Sober Living component fills the gap between clinical treatment and fully independent living, which is particularly important in a state where rural distance and limited transitional housing inventory can otherwise undermine treatment gains.
A companion agency, the New Freedom Family Center, operates a separate 24/7 line and focuses on the family dimension of recovery. Both programs publish 24/7 phone access. SAMHSA records confirm a broad population profile that includes pregnant women, young adults aged 18-25, men, women, court-referred clients, and clients with HIV/AIDS support needs. Payment options include Medicaid, state insurance, private insurance, and self-pay, and services are delivered in English from the Bismarck campus.
