Epidemiologists estimate that Orange County has approximately 51,825 family members, co-workers, or other residents who are seriously affected by alcohol/drug abuse and addiction, and Durham County 106,535. There are more than 1000 DWI arrests in the two counties each year. Substance abuse costs Orange County residents over $180 million every year and Durham County residents more than $370 million. What's more, substance abuse is directly connected with indigence, unemployment, family disease, adolescent pregnancy and school dropout, crime, chronic illness and death. More than 15,000 people in the two counties are dually diagnosed with both addiction and mental illness. Freedom House responds to these needs by providing crisis stabilization and longer-term treatment services, social setting and non-hospital medical detox, halfway house programs, men's transitional living services, outpatient psychiatric services and intensive outpatient programs.
