After a devestating fire and construction delays, the House of Friendship has opened its addiction treatment centre in Cambridge. Each of the men will get their own room instead of sharing to keep more physical distancing, according to the centre. Through the pandemic, House of Friendship has also been offering virtual services for people recovering from addictions, according to Tara Groves-Taylor, the addiction services director for House of Friendship. House of Friendship has felt a groundswell of support in Cambridge in recent months, Groves-Taylor said. "People really started to become aware of House of Friendship and become aware of addiction services and what programs like ours represent."
