Informational Lunch with Freedom Life Compass and Banyan Treatment Center

Freedom Life Compass is a non-profit organization that was started by Stephanie Fitzgerald serving the entire panhandle region. She has multiple locations that serve both male and female populations.

She is currently liaising with both OCSO and FWBPD, as well as other law enforcement agencies throughout the panhandle, to offer alternatives to J*il or child separation for addicts, those escaping domestic violence or experiencing homelessness, and mental health cases.

She is all encompassing in that she coordinates with both faith based, and non-faith based treatment programs, works with those with or without children, and assists incarcerated individuals with re-entry to the community upon release. Her goal is to offer whatever services are needed on an individual basis to both prevent re-incarceration and return to drug use.

Stephanie will bringing copies of her treatment cheat sheet to share with those in attendance. The cheat sheet provides all available no-cost and low cost treatment facilities in the panhandle as well as their specialties and whether they handle dual diagnoses.

Jacob Gillbertson from Banyan Treatment Center will be joining us as well AND providing lunch for this meeting!!
