Bridges of Hope treatment program is anchored on evidence and the premise that alcoholism and drug addiction are clinical disorders that develop dependence on mood/mind altering substances. Contributing factors to development of substance use disorders are hereditary, developmental, environmental, and drug use itself. Working together, these factors lead to progression of addiction to alcohol and other drugs. We believe that treatment requires a clinical and multidisciplinary approach consisting of assessment and identification of all related underlying issues.
Our drug and alcohol treatment center provides a wide variety of treatment services that are individualized to the client’s specific needs and presenting issues. All clients undergo a psychiatric evaluation and follow-up medication management as needed. In addition to educational and therapeutic group sessions, clients also receive individual psychotherapy, clinical assessments, and appropriate ancillary services. Once all of the assessments and data are gathered, then appropriate cognitive and behavioral therapeutic strategies are developed that are unique to the client and their specific needs.
