The Freedom Model provides an addiction-help coaching framework and a professional certification program. It emphasizes self-directed, lasting change without traditional treatment formats such as meetings, rehabs, or step-based programs. The organization presents its approach as an educational system that questions disease-of-addiction narratives and 12-step treatment paradigms. Three pillars—autonomy, free will, and the positive drive principle—are presented as natural, evidence-supported concepts. The coaching method, known as Cognitive Behavioral Education (CBE), guides individuals to take control of their thoughts, choices, and actions and to develop more productive behavioral patterns through non-judgmental, Socratic dialogue within its curriculum. Based in Amsterdam, New York, the company operates in the research services sector and maintains a small to mid-sized staff.
