Friendship House Association of American Indians, Inc. of San Francisco is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) community-based organization that provides residential substance abuse treatment for American Indians. Clients become residents in their 80-bed residential facility in San Francisco for up to 6 months. During that time, clients are immersed in both American Indian cultural practices and Western approaches for substance abuse recovery and prevention. Clients must be interviewed to determine acceptance into the program. Once a client has been screened and accepted, they will be placed on the waiting list.

Things to note:

• Clients must be clean and sober 72 hours prior to admission.
• All applicants’ ability to pay for treatment will be evaluated at the time of the intake screening. The fee for service and payment options will be determined at this time.
• State ID/Driver's License, Social Security Card, Birth Certificate and Tribal Registration.
• Proper written documentation of a negative TB test taken within the past 6 months must be in-hand or sent prior to the client's admission. The individual will not be admitted without this certification.
