Living Free Health Services

What Living Free Health Services does

Living Free Health Services is a private outpatient behavioral health clinic operating as Living Free LTD from a single suite at 4306 Evergreen Lane, Suite 204, Annandale, Virginia. Founded in 1986 and licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services, the practice delivers Intensive Outpatient (IOP) and outpatient substance abuse treatment, outpatient mental health therapy, opiate detoxification, pre-trial substance abuse assessments with expert witness testimony for DUI/DWI cases, and a Spanish-speaking therapy program. Services are delivered exclusively in-person at the Annandale office; appointment hours are Monday through Thursday 3PM-7PM.

The clinical roster is small and highly tenured: Executive Director Marietta E. Warden (39+ years, RN/CSAC/ADC/CCS), Counselor Jocelyn Cohen (35+ years, LCSW), Primary Counselor Jennie Jackson (20+ years, CSAC/QMHP/MAC), Counselor Alex Kennedy (10+ years), and Office Manager Grecia Hurtado. The combined experience base is anchored in Virginia-specific licensure, and the company highlights integration of AA/NA and 12-step principles with relapse prevention and psychoeducation.

The business model is reimbursement-driven through in-network relationships with major insurance carriers including CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield, AETNA, and United Health Care, supplemented by self-pay via cash, check, and major credit cards. There is no public pricing; patients are encouraged to verify insurance benefits prior to a roughly two-hour assessment. Go-to-market is direct and relationship-based: phone, email, and a website intake form drive admissions, supplemented by professional referrals from defense attorneys and healthcare providers. No funding rounds, parent company, M&A activity, or digital/remote service delivery channels are disclosed.
