Mark and Melissa are the founders of Truefreedom Recovery Resources. They have been where you are. They were once bound by brokenness, hurt, hopelessness, and addiction. They did not get where they are today alone. It took a lot of sweat, tears, self-reflection, faith, and the support of others. It took them surrendering to what God called them to. Mark and Melissa have a heart for lost and broken souls, and they don't care how much bad you have done in your life because they probably did a lot of the same while they were in addiction. They love people and want people to know that they will never give up on them. They want to introduce people to a better life, love them, support them, and introduce them to a better life.
Melissa

Melissa is the visionary behind TrueFreedom Recovery Center. Without her vision Freedom House and TrueFreedom Recovery would not exist. Melissa knows firsthand the devastation of addiction. It was during her time in recovery that she decided to open a sober living house. As she started opening more houses, she noticed that her residents were relapsing and needed more to remain sober. It was through this experience she decided to partner with others and start TrueFreedom Recovery Center. She knew her residents needed more treatment to reduce relapse and she wanted to provide it to them. She also received her certification as a counselor in training during that time because vision was not enough, she wanted to be in the trenches with the clients. Her desire was to offer quality intensive outpatient treatment with the goal of clients obtaining and maintaining long term recovery. She is meeting that goal! If you ask Melissa if she had the opportunity to change her past regarding addiction would she do it, she will tell you a flat no. She states that without her past, she would not have her present and her present is loving and caring for those at their lowest point in life. Thank you, Melissa, for your vision and love for this hurting population. You are making a difference!
