About Us
B. Riley House was established in 2016. We cater exclusively to members of the LGBTQ+ community and our allies who are seeking a way out of the pain and misery of substance abuse through outside substance use disorder and mental health providers. Our primary purpose is to help LGBTQ+ community members achieve long-term sobriety, reduce recidivism in detox centers and treatment facilities, and provide continued support throughout their recovery journey.
We offer our residents a wide range of services, including partial hospitalization programming (PHP), intensive outpatient treatment, mental health assessment and treatment, and psychotherapy courses covering self-acceptance, coming out, transgender issues, and more.
At B. Riley House, community members have the opportunity to be treated by professionals who understand firsthand the challenges of getting sober and staying sober.

In the summer of 2021, B. Riley House moved into a larger facility located on West 117th Street in Cleveland, Ohio. The new building was once home to the Freedom House and Ed Keating Center. This expansion allowed us to serve more clients and offer a wider range of services.
In the spring of 2023, we further expanded our outpatient services into its own dedicated facility located on Detroit Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. Our new outpatient center is home to our clinical services.
Continuing our growth, in the summer of 2023, we opened our second halfway house—our first location outside of Ohio—in Miami, Florida. This halfway house provides a safe and supportive environment for our clients. Our Florida halfway house is staffed by experienced and compassionate professionals who are dedicated to helping clients succeed.
At B. Riley House, we remain committed to providing our clients with the best possible care and support. Our expansion into Florida and beyond allows us to reach more people in need and make a positive impact on their lives.
