Freise HOPE House guests participate in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a modified cognitive-behavioral treatment that is the only Evidence-Based Practice to prevent suicide. DBT assists guests in learning skills to help them regulate their emotional responses to situations that occur in their lives. Guests create and maintain a Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP). WRAP is a self-help, recovery treatment system designed to decrease symptoms, increase personal responsibility and improve quality of life. Our guests also participate in our Dreamcatchers Empowerment Network program that provides them with pre-vocational job skills training.

Our Freise HOPE House supports each guest to recover with an enhanced sense of resilience, accessing a wide-range of wellness tools and staff support. We believe that the principles of wellness and recovery are an ongoing process and guests are active participants in that process. The clinical treatment team is comprised of people with lived experience, who are trained and certified peer providers, with a wide-array of clinical expertise. All of our staff members are committed to honoring the Crestwood recovery model, which is that everyone can heal and recover given the support, services and love that nurtures the spirit, while defining what recovery means to them and developing and honing strategies and skills to live the life that each individual desires.
