A Place For Healing, Culture, and Connection
Friendship House is a Native-led organization that believes our culture is strong medicine. We provide a place for urban Native peoples to heal from addiction, participate in ceremony and cultural traditions, and connect with a community that is grounded in our Indigenous values of caring for one another.
Traditional & Modern Medicine
Traditional medicine passed down from our ancestors, paired with the latest in modern medicine, is key to long-term recovery. From sweatlodge ceremony to medication for addiction treatment, we offer a variety of tools in our treatment programs.

Adult Treatment Program
Healing begins with changing your environment. We offer residential programs for adults that focus on Native American values and customs. The majority of our program staff have been where you are, and we rely on their knowledge and experience.
The Women’s Lodge
Mothers seeking treatment often have to decide between leaving their children or seeking care. At the Women’s Lodge, moms of children ages 0-5, and expectant mothers, receive community support and in-patient treatment in a setting that allows moms and their children to stay, and heal, together.
Supporting a Loved One
It’s difficult to watch someone you care for struggle with drug and alcohol use. We are a community that believes anyone can heal, and that the path to recovery looks different for everyone. We’re here to support you and your loved one wherever they are in their journey.
Our Native-led Program Has Proven Results
Research shows that people have higher success rates when they are in a treatment and recovery program run by members of their own community. The majority of our staff are Native American and Alaska Native; our shared history and values gives our graduates an even greater chance of long-term recovery
92% of our graduates are sober 6 months after completing the program.
“I can face tomorrow without a drink. I can deal with reality head-on—think clearly.”
“The spiritual, the ceremony sessions, the sweat lodge are all put together in the treatment and it reminds you—it lifts you back up.”
