About The Bridges of San Diego
The Bridges San Diego provides outpatient treatment for addictions and co-occurring disorders. Their partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) include evidence-based education on the disease of addiction, individual and group therapy sessions, relapse prevention planning, spiritual development, self-esteem building, physical health and wellbeing education, and 12-Step facilitation. The Bridges offers a Family Support Program as well as a robust Alumni Program.
The Bridges San Diego’s PHP meets 5 days a week from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The program offers a comprehensive, short-term, intensive clinical treatment approach, designed specifically to meet individual needs as an alternative to inpatient or residential care. The Bridges uses evidenced-based drug and alcohol education and group processing, teaches skills to cope with depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, and includes an introduction to the 12-Step recovery program.
The Bridges San Diego’s IOP helps clients recognize the negative consequences related to substance use disorders. The program provides support and healthy solutions, and an appropriate action plan for each individual. IOP meets 3 times per week, 3 hours a day, for a minimum of 6 weeks, with both day and evening programming available. The program can help patients transitioning out of inpatient rehab, or patients looking for drug and alcohol treatment but are unable to take time away from work and family, or afford rehab in an inpatient environment.
The Chronic Relapse Program offers group counseling separate from those who are in treatment for the first time. This program consists of individual and group sessions for 12 weeks, 3 times per week. The Chronic Relapse Program also includes continuing care maintenance for 6 months to one year after the initial program.
The Bridges offers a Family Support Program to help family members experiencing anger, guilt, shame, or co-dependency as a result of their loved one’s addiction. The Family Support Program can help participants develop a “tough love” approach to dealing with family members that are currently struggling with substance use. Family services include individual and group counseling for a minimum of 8 weeks, 2 days per week.
Once treatment concludes, patients stay socially connected with other alumni via weekly recovery meetings and other special sober events.
