Meetings 6 Days Out of The Week!

Here at the Freedom House, part of providing a conducive recovery environment is ensuring that the men who reside here are given every opportunity to attend 12-step support meetings. In order to do this, The Freedom House opens its doors to the outside recovery community and hosts numerous meetings throughout the week. The meetings held here consist of AA, NA, and CA support groups. Tuesdays are the only night in which we do not host a meeting. And residents are encouraged to attend a meeting outside of the house on those nights.

FHI AA/CA/NA House Meetings:

Sunday             7:00 p.m.         AA                   Mandatory for duration of residency

Monday           10:30 a.m.        NA                   Optional  (See note 6.)

Residents, who have not met 90 days and cannot attend the morning meeting due to the time it is held., must find an outside meeting to attend.
