Program
Bridges holds space for youth to engage in safe, sober fun at our fully staffed drop-in center as well as at staff-supervised off-site activities. Bridges provides a full menu of services to holistically wrap ourselves around families in early recovery and beyond and connecting them to resources in the community for clinical and therapeutic support as well as higher levels of treatment.
We offer the bridge from active addiction back to a meaningful life for youth and young adults ages 14-18 and their families.
