About NICASA Bridgehouse – Waukegan

Waukegan sits in Lake County, and the county’s own provision is limited enough that this site draws from a wide area.

Medication-assisted treatment pairs buprenorphine, methadone or naltrexone with counseling. Trauma care sits alongside the rest of what is offered.

Bridge House my life for the better and when I really started to change I could see everything in my life finally made sense and that is because of Tish, Colleen, Mike, Luis, Mrs c.,Joe, Delores and Steve. They showed… me the way life could be if I worked for it. I am grateful for the staff. Everything I learned will always be apart of me and my sober journey. I would love give them praise for helping me find the new life I have been given. I love the way they made me think and help me understand myself. I love the world I live in now and in my head I ask for a another day because I am not asking for death today .

I went to bridge house after going to an inpatient. Going to Bridge house for the first time was an life changing amazing experience especially being there for the holidays up until about 2 weeks ago when i graduated… the program. They offer groups I never thought I would get into yoga and meditation. I now enjoy doing both because of bridge house. They have awesome food that I used to always cook they actually care about what you're interested in making they buy all the ingredients for you to cook for the house on your scheduled day .They have very good groups and peer support groups. I enjoyed playing the drums and the keyboard that they have to offer as well. So shout out to bridge house thank you for all your support loving and caring attitude towards me always. Thank you Dr Guerra Thank you Ms Leticia and Ms Colleen for all of your support, one on ones and the advice you have all way given me. I am now in a sober living independent home thriving and doing well while maintaining my sobriety. So I would like to say thank you to The chief clinical officer Dr Guerra The director Ms Leticia The counselor Ms Colleen The resource counselor Reina The sods Mr Louis, MrSteve,Ms Dolores The peer support counselors Mr Charles,Ms Debra,Ms Rosa
