transition back into society
Does addiction feel like a never-ending battle? It affects your decision-making, relationships, and responsibilities. Nearly 21 million Americans have at least one addiction, yet only 10% receive treatment. Addiction often leads to unemployment, legal trouble, and social isolation, making it hard to function in society.
Our halfway houses in DeLand help people reconnect with their lives and build new life strategies that lead to long-term success. Our supportive culture prioritizes the needs of our clients to provide a safe and supportive environment where individuals can work towards their goals and overcome the challenges they may face.
Are you ready to recover?
Recovery is a commitment to rebuilding your life from the inside out. Recovery takes honesty, open-mindedness, and a willingness to face the hard truths while embracing new habits, environments, and ways of thinking. Being ready doesn’t mean having all the answers—it means being open to change, support, and the possibility of something better.
Our halfway houses are a safe, structured, and supportive environment for anyone looking to overcome drug or alcohol addiction. We provide a wide range of resources and programs, including educational support, job training, and recreational activities. We aim to help our clients become self-sufficient and develop new life strategies that can lead to long-term success.
The journey to recovery can be difficult, but no one has to walk it alone. Foundations to Freedom exists to provide a safe and supportive environment where people can work towards their goals and overcome the challenges they may face.

Frequently asked questions
What is a sober living home, and what can I expect?
A sober living residence is a safe, supportive place where people can live while they’re getting back on their feet—whether they’re recovering from substance use disorder, healing from mental health challenges, or transitioning out of a correctional institution.
At our sober living home in Central Florida, clients can access helpful resources and a stable environment while working toward independence. Unlike inpatient treatment, there’s more freedom—you can work, go to school, and come and go with some guidelines in place. It’s a helpful next step for many people ready to move forward, but still need structure and support.
How do our recovery residences help people struggling with substance use disorder?
Our recovery housing is a safe and structured place for people to live while they focus on healing from substance use disorder. We prioritize well-being, building life skills, and taking steps toward living independently.
Everyone in our homes follows basic rules and participates in therapy or support groups to stay on track. The goal is to help each person grow stronger, gain confidence, and successfully transition back into everyday life.
What are the benefits of living in a halfway house?
Living in a halfway house gives our clients a fresh start. Rules, curfews, and daily routines help them stay focused and accountable in their recovery. Our staff is available to assist with important things like job searches, emotional support, or finding necessary resources. Recovery housing is a solid step between treatment and independent living.
