Our Story
Freeman Recovery Center started with almost nothing. Our founder, Shawn Baker, began the work on an air mattress in his mother’s basement, driven by a single conviction: people matter, and everyone deserves the chance to recover.
Since those humble beginnings, we have grown into one of the region’s most comprehensive treatment providers, serving hundreds of people across Middle Tennessee. What has never changed is the belief we started with. Every program, every property, and every member of our team exists to give the people who walk through our doors a real path forward.
