In 1973, nine gentlemen from Fontana, Riverside and Upland signed on as the first board of trustees in an organization they founded in Bloomington, California, called Amigo House. Its initial purpose was “to provide an environment where men who are suffering from alcoholism can be detoxified, treated, counseled and educated on the dangers of alcoholism and human behavior of problem drinkers.”
In 1984, the Board expanded its programming to be a full service treatment center serving men and women suffering with substance use disorders, taking on the name Social Science Services, Inc. The organization moved into its current facility on Santa Ana Avenue in Bloomington in 2002 and is now doing business as Cedar House Life Change Center. Recognizing the special needs of pregnant women and those with young children, Cedar House purchased a home in 2005, and created opens in a new windowMaple House Women with Children program. By providing child care on site, the women could walk from Maple House down the street to attend programming during the day at Cedar House and return to their children in the late afternoon to learn and implement parenting skills. In recent years, Maple House has started offering treatment on site in addition to child care.
