Bridge House Inc

Long-term residential treatment for men who may need housing, employment, or financial support

Bridge House offers 24/7 care for adult men, particularly those experiencing homelessness, unemployment, or financial hardship. The nonprofit operates on the idea that recovery requires more than stopping substance use. Programming also focuses on the idea that clients need help meeting basic needs and rebuilding their lives. Substance use treatment is combined with independent living skills, case management, and vocational activities to prepare for life after treatment.

Structured programming with phased treatment

Clients begin in an intensive stabilization phase that lasts about 14 to 30 days. During this time, they receive at least 20 hours a week of combined clinical and recovery-focused services. Contact with people outside of the facility is limited during this phase. After stabilization, clients move into primary treatment. This is a lower-intensity program with structured individual and group therapy with an emphasis on applying recovery skills and preparing to reconnect with work, education, and family life.

Employment preparation is built into the program

Vocational activities increase job skills and employment readiness throughout treatment rather than waiting until discharge. In the facility’s re-entry and transition phase, clients can seek or obtain employment, pursue vocational training, or continue their education.

Alcoholics Anonymous is the primary recovery framework

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is the primary tool for recovery, with the 12-Step approach being a defining feature. Clients also attend individual counseling, group therapy, relapse prevention, and family treatment as indicated.
