 Freedom Consultancy works collaboratively with various organizations in the international healthcare industry who are seeking new and effective ways to improve awareness of addiction and mental health, access to appropriate treatment services, advocacy and treatment outcomes.
The treatment field is full of talented, highly skilled and passionate people who work for extraordinary organizations. As part of our mission, one of Freedom's primary roles is to connect various entities, organizations and individuals so that they may all work more effectively together, share information and improve outcomes for their own organizations, the field as a whole and their target audiences. We always welcome the opportunity for the field to use our skills and resources to better further their aims.
Below are some of the organizations Freedom has worked with over the last year. Please visit each website for further information about their contribution to the healthcare industry and details of how you can help support these worthy causes.
 In 1989, so little was known – far less in the public domain – about how to recover from addiction/dependencies, that it was decided to establish the Addiction Recovery Foundation for just such a purpose. Its national and international guidance since has been evidence-based, leading-edge and proven – with an accuracy tuned by the skill sets of its majority staff and trustees who are professionals in long-term, sustainable recovery themselves. This ‘user contribution’ and depth of understanding make the organization unique among those which work across the alcohol- and drug-treatment field in both the UK and mainland Europe.

For 30 years since its founding in 1978, the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (NAATP), which represents nearly 275 not-for-profit and for-profit providers (free standing and hospital based programs, which offer a full continuum of care from outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient rehabilitation regimes), has acted as the voice of private alcoholism and drug dependency treatment programs throughout the U.S. That voice has been heard time and time again – in Congress, in the insurance industry, in the utilization review arena and in the chemical dependency treatment field itself.
NAATP has assumed a strong leadership role on behalf of treatment providers in areas such as treatment standards, education, research, and advocacy of legislative, regulatory and reimbursement positions supported by the field.

Intervention™ raises awareness about the alternatives and treatment options available to those who suffer from an alcohol or drug addiction, and gives hope to families who have nowhere left to turn.
