About Friendly House
Friendly House is a non-profit, community-oriented rehabilitation center dedicated to holistic addiction recovery for women. Friendly House combines residential treatment with sober living homes, creating a stable and encouraging setting. The program focuses on substance use disorders as well as co-occurring mental health issues and eating disorders.
Treatment is organized into three phases, each with its own activities, levels of responsibility, privileges, and goals. The length of each phase typically ranges from one to two months, depending on personal circumstances, needs, and progress toward treatment objectives. Phase 1 concentrates on stabilization and includes building a recovery plan, strengthening early recovery skills, and fostering a sense of community. Phase 2 works on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of addiction, while practicing relapse prevention strategies. Clients are also encouraged during this stage to pursue employment, take on volunteer roles, or join vocational and training programs. Phase 3 supports community reintegration, helping clients apply the skills developed throughout residential treatment.
Friendly House is in Los Angeles, California, offering comfortable housing in a calm residential neighborhood. Shared bedrooms accommodate two residents and feature twin beds, along with access to shared bathrooms. As an affordable residential option, Friendly House provides a caring team and a warm, home-like atmosphere.
