Description
F riends of Choices is committed to supporting recovery from chemical dependency. We're a 501(c)(3) public benefit non-profit corporation. The organization was founded in California in March 1993, as a support group for a local hospital's chemical dependency program (Choices at Brotman). Although that program no longer exists, our work had just begun.
A short time later, a nearby sober living home needed new management and stronger local support. Friends of Choices assumed that responsibility, and in the following years years opened two additional homes in the area. Each was a response to urgent community need (which still exists), and was made possible through the commitment of our supporters and volunteers.
Through time we've expanded our services. The most significant one is funding sober living for recovering alcoholics and addicts who need but cannot afford it. We've also expanded services to our residents and to the recovery community in general. A few years ago we began an annual camping and trout fishing trip in the Sierras with our residents. In 1999 we organized the first Search for Serenity Men's Retreat, a now annual event. Those attending include many who have been instrumental in our growth and success. That year we also launched Take the Test, our online series of self-tests for alcoholism, drug and other addictions. For a more complete description of what we do, please see our Programs and Services page.
