Testimonials
"I can feel my life and foundation becoming stable for the first time. My job, meeting times, and all the programs they offer have become a way of life for me. They have taught me living a life of sobriety is not a moment but a lifestyle. If people are serious about their recovery, this is their place."
Phillip “Flip” - Age 33
"6 months ago, I was on the verge of suicide. I felt I didn’t know where to turn. I was referred to Friends House Ministries. The meetings and the programs they offer are non-pressured, which makes me grateful for the way they operate. They allowed me to recover at my own pace. Now I have restored hope and goals for my future. I love the job they referred me to, and I initially planned on staying a minimum of 6 months, and now I wish to remain at least a year to ensure I am as stable as possible as I continue my transition."
Tracy - Age 56
"I came to Friends House from another sober living home. I needed a quality place to grow, and over time I realized Friends House was an excellent decision. All the meetings, the classes, and the structure they provide are what I needed. I have graduated from the program, and I am successful at my job. I have my own apartment, and now I am looking to get married in the near future. In one month, I will be three years sober."
Patrick - Age 30
