Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Heart icon Treatment

Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

This ABA center is absolutely shameful, UNETHICAL. unsanitary and only damages children. It hasn't been cleaned in over 2 years, runs without bathrooms for the children or even a kitchen. Staff are not properly trained at all. ABA is not utilized. No new toys or materials in the 6 months I was there other than staff bringing it in. Multiple reports to every agency and department of health. Speech and OT are not permitted in the building because they know they are doing wrong. Playground is completely dilapidated. Elevator that transports children was due for inspection last year. The entire building is unsafe. Brilliant children are made to sit at a table and comply all day and be quiet. 2 year Olds are forced to stay awake all day by physically making them stand up crying for hours only so they can bill insurance. They lie to parents. The transport vehicles are unsafe, not maintenanced and didnt even have proper child safety locks. Children opened the door multiple times while a single staff member drove. As a mother with a son with Autism I was absolutely horrified working here as a BHT. THIS PLACE NEEDS SHUT DOWN. I hope the local news eventually does a story about "non profits" like Friendhsip house that make millions of dollars and do nothing at all for these kids. Do research there are better options in the area.

Stay away from this school. They are so unreliable! They cancel only certain kids due to staffing issues and the workers are allllllll over the place. Definitely not a good place to bring your special needs children.

Absolute mess of a facility. They treat every kid exactly the same way by some foolish protocol and don't actually get to know the child. My kid has a deep rooted fear of clinical settings. I made an appointment so I could ask the psych NP some questions that I never got to ask because they called my kid back alone and started peppering her with questions. She felt ambushed and attacked. She froze. Then the therapist called us back and continued at her as she sat in the chair, shaking and crying. Our whole family is going through a traumatic experience right now to begin with and this had her further unnerved. I asked my daughter if she was done, she nodded and I took her out of there and terminated service. A system designed to help and protect kids should, at the very least, get to know them as individuals, not just treat them all the same. And don't get me started on the nasty nightmare that does the TOVA testing, I should've pulled her out then. My kid feels attacked and traumatized at a time we genuinely needed the most help. It's a hot mess.

I was at friendship house in 1986. It was HELL I can't believe this place is still open. The amount of abuse I witnessed was horrible. I was lucky I only stayed 30 days . I truly hope and pray things changed. Kids should not be treated the way they were. THEY SHOULD BE CLOSED ZERO STARS

I lived at friendship house in the cottage from Feb 1989-,June 1990 I still have pictures of me n my forever friends I only stayed connected with 2 friends.. I hated being in there at first I had my little circle of friends I was 15 with wat they called SED but I met a boy from DC who is still in my life until this day we have soo many memories I sadly told him I believe they tore the cottages down but I promised to visit the area with him where we once interacted playing basketball or double Dutch.. I can't speak for there service today but I can say I once was a lost 15 year old girl who entered there rtf in 89 n left at 16 ready to explore the city it was challenging I remember I use to call my old staff for encouragement I remember them all Lisa Wendy Anita Cheryl they were the best
