Our History
Our Founders, Dana and Mark Brown
Our History
At Zoe Freedom Center, we're dedicated to empowering individuals who are seeking to break free from addiction and embrace God's life - ZOE - in all its fullness. Our mission is inspired by Galatians 5:1, highlighting freedom's transformative power. We believe that true freedom from addiction is achieved by renewing the mind in Christ, building healthy relationships, pursuing personal aspirations, and serving others.
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. - Galatians 5:1 NIV
Zoe Freedom Center was founded by Mark and Dana Brown, who have a personal passion for helping individuals overcome addiction and live fulfilling lives. Dana, our co-founder, has been free from addiction since 2003. Since the day she was freed, she has devoted her life to understanding the truth of who God says she is and helping others understand who God says they are. Her personal journey of finding renewed hope and purpose through faith and community serves as an inspiration to all who come to Zoe.
Mark, our co-founder, has spent over 40 years serving the public in the military as a first responder and emergency manager. He understands that we are experiencing a national emergency, and his expertise over the years serves Zoe well.
At Zoe Freedom Center, we offer various evidence-based services and therapies through our two programs, each with many benefits inside. Our first program is the Outpatient program that flows through the Resource and Education Center. This program offers services designed to meet the unique needs of individuals at different stages of their recovery journey.
Our second program is the Narcan program, which includes Narcan trainings, and the Mobile Harm Reduction Unit (MHRU). Our Narcan program provides life-saving resources and support to individuals and families affected by opioid addiction.
One of the ways we inspire hope and transformation at Zoe Freedom Center is through the power of personal testimony. We invite you to watch Dana's Story, where she shares her journey of overcoming addiction and founding Zoe Freedom Center. Her story serves as a testament to the effectiveness of our approach.

Zoe Freedom Center’s third program, Women’s Restorative Care Homes, is now serving women seeking freedom from addiction. The Hideaway, our long-term residential home, gives women the time, structure, and compassionate support to address the deeper wounds behind addiction and begin rebuilding their lives.
Our Christ-centered, trauma-informed approach combines substance use counseling, peer support, case management, life skills, Bible study, discipleship, and equine-assisted services. We walk alongside women who have experienced trauma, sexual exploitation, trafficking, and domestic violence, recognizing that healing involves the heart, mind, body, and spirit.
As women prepare for greater independence, The Cottage, our transition home, offers continued support as they put healthy habits into practice and take steps toward employment and community living.
These homes are no longer just a vision—they are places where women are finding hope, building healthy relationships, rediscovering purpose, and experiencing the love of Christ. All services are provided free of charge.
