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 .
The bridge house saved my life. Today I am 2 years sober and happier than ever. Colleen and Heather are amazing and truly care about my sobriety.. I do miss my gigi (cat) girl
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
This place saved my life! The staff was so understanding, emphatic, careing, and educated on addiction/ life skills. Through the groups and staff I was able to get a chance to get my mind on the road to recovery. I owe… my life to them and I'm celebrating over a year sober today! I have my job, my own place and new baby! Thank you so much!
I had a life changing experience at bridge house. I wanna give Heather and Colleen a shout out along with Carolyn and Reina and the overnight staff and morning staff. Heather and Colleen went above and beyond their… duties to see that I had every possible tool needed to begin my sobriety journey. I love them. Thank you for everything. You go girls...
Very good program! Would highly recommend. Both Colleen and Heather love and care about the clients and have their best interest at heart! Thank you to the whole staff for being apart of my Journey!
Staying at Bridgehouse was really cool actually. The groups, the routine, Gigi the kitty, the food, usually, but most of all the staff! Colleen and Heather were always so available, supportive and fun. I will always… look back with fond memories of my time there!
Bridge house hands down has helped me save my life I struggled with addiction 15 years and comming here I wasn’t ready and I returned and they where with open arms to have me back this place was a starting point to get… a job work a program and the staff there are great and Colleen one of the counselors there helped me out in so many ways she will forever have a place in my heart bridge house helped save my life I encourage any one to start there journey there
Great experience if you’re looking for a professional place to recover very strictly run does not tolerate bs so if your not looking to help yourself don’t come here shouting out Colleen and Trish Tyler and Luis for… making my time there welcome
It works! Professional staff who know how to respect and treat. I know I am going to succeed. Thank you.
Entered Bridge House in January of 2000 and stayed 5 months. Bridge House staff were great. They introduced me to the tools to stay sober and I've never picked up a drink since. Over 25 years sober now! Thank you for… that.
