4 Ways Celebrate Freedom is Unique Among Indiana Sober Houses.
1) We are unapologetically Christian. If you wonder why we don't accept state grants like other recovery houses / halfway houses do, it's because we don't want the government pulling the strings and telling us to stop using Bible-based curriculum. This building was once an Indiana Teen Challenge and that commitment to faith remains today. 2) We have in-house programming like a drug rehab, but at the cost of a halfway house. Other recovery houses just send you out to do AA meetings. We have in-house Relapse Prevention classes, support groups, and one-on-one recovery coaching. 3) We treat you with respect, knowing that you are clients, not soldiers at a boot camp. 4) We let doctors be doctors and don't try to control your medication, as long as it's taken by his instructions and under our supervision. Too many Indiana sober homes try to usurp the doctor's role and dictate what medications are best for you. We work with the professionals, not against them. 5) We have food on-site if you come in without anything to eat. Our food pantry is always available for our clients.

BLOG: Why Do Christian Recovery Programs Work?
-By Rich Brown
The facility that is now Celebrate Freedom's primary home was once a home for Teen Challenge. If you've never heard of Teen Challenge, they are one of the few nation-wide residential recovery programs. Indianapolis Teen Challenge resided at this property for many years until changing to a privately run program in the mid-2000s. And it is distinctly Christian in its approach.
I was always interested in the numbers that Teen Challenge boasts. They regularly mention that around 80% of their graduates stay clean and sober after they leave. Celebrate Freedom has noted numbers among our graduates that is almost that high--and like them, we are Christian. So just what is it about their program and ours that creates such success?
* Teen Challenge and Celebrate Freedom stress the benefits of a long-term program. TC's is a year-long and ours is 9 months. Studies regularly show significantly lower relapse rates among those who stay in a residential program for more than six months.
* Other studies show lower relapse rates among those who pray regularly, read the Bible regularly and go to church regularly. Both Teen Challenge and Celebrate Freedom stress these habits as part of our programs.
* It's bee said that the opposite of addiction is not sobriety, but connection. The people who do best in recovery are those who create new healthy connections that last after they leave the programs. Both Teen Challenge and Celebrate Freedom pound it into residents that they must create a new network in church or in recovery home groups, to help them make the transition into the outside world.
