I came to Bridge House on August 3, 2020. I have tried other rehabs before. I would go through the motions while in treatment, leave, and relapse. Bridge House has the structure and support I need in order to stay sober and help me set goals for myself, which I have never done before. I think my strength is that I’m now open minded and ready for change.
I decided on Bridge House in August 2020 because it is a smaller treatment program. I know I will have more individual time with counselors and Bridge House is away from my old environment. I think my strength is that I am eager to learn new things. I have many goals I am working to achieve, like getting a job, a car, and my license again.
