B. Riley House was established in 2016.  We cater solely to members of the LGBTQ+ community and our allies that are looking for a way out of the pain and misery of substance abuse through outside substance use diagnosis (SUD) and mental health (MH) providers.  Our primary purpose is to help members of the LGBTQ+  community achieve long term sobriety, reduce recidivism in detox centers and treatment centers, and provide continued support to individuals in their recovery journey.

​​We offer our resident's through coordination & collaboration with partner agencies a wide range of services from partial hospitalization programming (PHP), Intensive outpatient treatment (IOP), mental health assessment and treatment, and psychotherapy courses in self-acceptance, coming out, transgender issues, etc. 
​
B. Riley House gives members of this community the opportunity to be treated by professionals that know from experience the struggles of getting sober and staying sober.

He pushes each resident toward discovering their own individual truth and using that truth to help others and their community! Tony is dedicated to each member of the B.
