Friendly House LA | Womens Addiction and Mental Health Treatment (Nonprofit)

For too long, women have had to compartmentalize how we love, how we live, and how we heal. Friendly House is dedicated to ensuring that every person who walks through our doors has a chance to be seen, heard, and valued along the path to a new life. For more than fifty years, that’s been our promise and our legacy.
