A Legacy That Guides Us

Our History

Cedar House began in 1973 as Amigo House, a 12-bed residential program in Bloomington, CA founded to help men struggling with alcoholism through detox, treatment, counseling, and education. More than 52 years later, Cedar House Life Change Center has grown into a multi-site provider serving San Bernardino and Riverside counties. Today, we offer accredited withdrawal management, residential, perinatal, and outpatient care for adults with substance use and co-occurring disorders, using evidence-based practices and accepting Medi-Cal and private insurance.

Our Values

Cedar House is built on dignity, respect, and care that meets people where they are. Our staff brings excellence, passion, integrity, and compassion into every part of the treatment experience. We provide a safe, confidential, and supportive environment where clients can build motivation, move through the stages of change, and begin rebuilding their lives. Our programs continue to evolve through evidence-based curriculum, ongoing service improvements, and highly qualified staff. At the heart of it all, Cedar House is here to change lives and help families heal.

People Who Understand

Care rooted in experience, trust, and human connection

At Cedar House, many team members are more than trained professionals. They are people who understand the recovery journey personally, including alumni who once walked through these same doors.

That lived experience shapes the way clients are treated every day with patience, honesty, respect, and real understanding. Cedar House is not built around judgment. It is built around people helping people rebuild their lives.
