Friendly House offers residential treatment along with sober living homes that provide a structured, supportive environment. They specialize in addiction treatment along with co-occurring mental health conditions and eating disorders.
“The program consists of 3 phases. Each phase corresponds to different activities, responsibilities, privileges, and objectives, and it has a typical duration of between one and two months depending on individual needs, circumstances, and progress with meeting treatment goals. Phase 1 emphasizes stabilization and includes recovery planning, development of early recovery skills, and community building. Phase 2 focuses on addressing the root cause of addiction and applying relapse prevention skills. During this phase, clients will be encouraged to start seeking employment, obtaining volunteer work, or enrolling in vocational training. Lastly, Phase 3 focuses on community reintegration and implementation of the skills learned during residential treatment.

Facilities like Friendly House provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Understanding Your Treatment Options

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Friendly House offers 3 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 8 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Friendly House works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
