About Us

The Institute for Research and Treatment of Addictive Disorders (IRATAD) opened its doors in 1999 with Dr. Freestone and Dr. Hedelius being the only therapists working in the clinic.  Since that time it has grown from an 800 square foot office with two clinical offices to a 4,000 square foot office with seven clinical offices, four full time therapists, one part time therapist and three support staff.

The IRATAD specialized in the treatment of addiction and trauma disorders. The clinical staff is dedicated to providing the highest quality and most comprehensive treatment available. We provide individual and group therapy for all addictive disorder and are involved in regular and ongoing training in order to stay at the cutting edge of addiction and trauma treatment.  Dr. Freestone and Dr. Hedelius are members of the Society for Advancement of Sexual Health and provide regular training for different groups on both a state and national level. In addition to individual and group therapy we provide marital and family therapy. Our providers are certified sex addiction therapists and our members of the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP).

At the IRATAD, we work hard to provide an atmosphere of healing from the very moment a potential patient calls our office. If you or a loved one are in need of mental health treatment for an addiction, trauma, or any other mental health problem including depression and anxiety we invite you to call our office and speak with us. We are confident you will experience the Comprehensive Treatment Clinic as a safe place for healing.
