Our programs incorporate evidence-based clinical services provided by licensed and trained treatment professionals with a focus on recovery. We work with a diverse group of individuals, from pregnant and parenting women to men exiting incarceration. All of our facilities are licensed and accredited by the Council on Accreditation. While the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) reports the national average of relapse ranges from 40 to 60% depending on the substance misused, Volunteers of America’s programs help clients achieve and maintain sobriety at rates higher than the national averages.

Women’s Residential Services
Freedom House
Our Women’s Addiction Recovery Services provide a residential treatment program for alcohol and/or drug dependent pregnant women and women with young children. This holistic and comprehensive program is designed to treat women with substance use disorders, to break the cycle of substance use in families, to reunite families broken apart by substance use and to promote the birth of healthy, drug-free babies. This program opened in 1993 in Louisville, Kentucky. In 2020 it expanded to Clay County and now expanding again in 2024 to serve more women. Expanding to Daviess and Lincoln Counties in 2024.
This program is funded in part by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the Kentucky Department of Behavioral Health.
VOA Recovery – Women’s Transitional Living Program: This program is designed to provide a sober living environment for women with young children who are in recovery from substance use disorder. The program can serve up to seven families at a time and aims to increase housing stability, as lack of safe, affordable housing can be a major barrier to long-term recovery. Mothers in the program pay a service fee based on their income level, allowing their families to work and save money or pursue educational goals while they live in a community of other families committed to long-term recovery for up to two years.
