Freedom From Addiction Launches, Challenging the Shadow of Anonymity to Stamp Out the Stigma of Addiction

Drugs and alcohol claim more than 135,000 lives each year in the United States alone; that’s 370 people each day, 15 people every hour.

By connecting those battling addiction with certified treatment and recovery centers, Freedom From Addiction seeks to save lives, one addict at a time, before they become a statistic.

What: Freedom From Addiction is launching an online resource platform that provides comprehensive information and utilizes the latest technology, trusted tools, and proven methods of detoxification and recovery in order to connect those living with addiction to certified treatment and recovery centers. Freedom From Addiction incorporates a variety of features including virtual sponsorship, blog-style story sharing, inspirational mobile text messaging, and interactive social media conversations (via #ShoutYourRecovery).
