About Bridge Northwood Addiction Treatment Center
Bridge Northwood Addiction Treatment Center in Gadsden, Alabama helps boys ages 12 to 18 who are struggling with substance use and behavior issues. They offer different levels of care, including early intervention, outpatient treatment, and a clinically managed, medium-intensity residential program for males ages 12–18, treating addiction with individual and family therapy. With over 50 years of experience, they have built strong partnerships with schools, courts, and mental health agencies.
Receive Tailored, Research-Based Treatment
Bridge Northwood uses therapies that are proven by research to help teens heal and grow. Each teen gets a treatment plan that includes one-on-one counseling, group therapy, and family support. Their approach is both clinical and supportive, and includes a specialized unit for teens with opioid or stimulant use disorders. The team focuses on building healthy habits, coping skills, and lasting recovery.
Grow in a Safe, Nurturing Space
Teens in the Northwood Residential Program live on a peaceful 72-acre campus with both indoor and outdoor spaces designed to encourage healing. They stay in shared rooms, receive meals, and benefit from on-site schooling and 24/7 support. This supportive environment helps teens feel safe, motivated, and ready to return home with newfound skills and hope for the future.
Additional Services Offered
In addition to its residential program, The Bridge offers a range of supportive services. These include assessment services to determine the best care plan for each individual, which may involve placement within The Bridge or a referral elsewhere. Early intervention programs support teens showing early signs of substance use, while adolescent outpatient treatment provides care without requiring a residential stay. For adults in DeKalb County, outpatient services are available. The Bridge also partners with local counties to offer diversion programs—rehabilitative services for adolescents involved with the justice system.
