Assisi Bridge House

Provider Description

The Assisi Bridge House (ABH) is a residential halfway house for chemically dependent men.  The Independent Living Program (ILP) is a transitional residential program for men who have succesfully completed the ABH program.

Men with addictions are given the opportunity to live in a community setting in which they make a commitment to change.  Assisi Bridge House supports the 12-step program of AA and NA.  Each ABH resident works on a monthly treatment plan addressing his personal needs.  Family participation is encouraged.  The staff includes licensed, master's level counselors with many years of experience in treating addictions.
