“At the Freedom Institute we look at a person’s struggles with substance abuse in the context of their life as a whole.  The change that could make the difference could come from anywhere in complex constellation of factors that provide meaning, connection and happiness in an individual’s life.  We have to keep looking and examining the therapeutic work from every possible angle in order to find the right intervention.”
