Call Us to Get Started

  • Your healing journey begins with an intake phone call with one of our intake coordinators.

  • You can schedule the intake call by calling 415-865-0964.

  • You are welcome to call and schedule your intake appointment regardless of your current sobriety status. However, it is crucial and required that you are sober during the actual intake appointment phone call.

In the Hands of Your Community

At Friendship House, we lead with our Indigenous values, show up with respect for all people, and prioritize safety and wellness. When you reach out, you will be connected to a community member who understands your experience and is ready to professionally address your needs with cultural sensitivity and care.

“I can face tomorrow without a drink. I can deal with reality head-on—think clearly.”
