ABOUT PEGGY ALBRECHT FRIENDLY HOUSE
For over 50 years, Peggy Albrecht Friendly House has been providing residential treatment for women who are dealing with drug and alcohol addiction. As the first residential treatment program for women in the country, located in Los Angeles, we have a long history of helping women regain their health and wellness. Please note that we do not provide detox services on-site, and women must have abstained from alcohol and drugs for 72 hours prior to admission. However, we do offer a sober living facility for women who have completed our residential program and are looking for a transitional environment.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
At Peggy Albrecht Friendly House, we are committed to helping our clients achieve recovery from addiction, rebuild family relationships, and reintegrate into the community. Our traditional residential program is based on the 12-step model, which has proven to be effective for many individuals. To support our clients in their journey, we offer four daily groups, nightly Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings, and weekly process groups. In addition, our team collaborates with local medical and mental health organizations to provide necessary additional services. As part of our holistic care approach, residents also participate in yoga sessions.
For those who have completed our residential program but still require structured care in a supportive environment, we offer a sober living program. This program provides transitional care for adult women and aims to create a homelike atmosphere where individuals can continue their recovery journey. Additionally, our alumni group, Grateful Hearts, encourages former clients to stay connected and continue their support for one another.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
Our treatment team consists of highly qualified professionals, including a program director and program manager who are both certified advanced alcohol and drug counselors.
