Bridging the Gaps Awarded the 2025 Excellence in Treatment Award
Bridging the Gaps is honored to receive the 2025 Excellence in Treatment Award from Conquer Addiction, a nonprofit organization committed to improving transparency, accountability, and outcomes in addiction treatment. This award recognizes treatment centers that can demonstrate strong, scientifically validated long-term recovery results - something only a small percentage of programs nationwide are currently able to measure.
What the Excellence in Treatment Award Represents
Each year, Conquer Addiction evaluates applications from treatment centers across the country. Only those with outcomes in the top one-third of all submissions are selected. To qualify, programs must show that a significant percentage of reachable alumni remained abstinent from alcohol and illicit drugs during the final 30 days at the one-year post-treatment mark. All data is reviewed by an independent panel to ensure accuracy and adherence to strict research standards.
Our Verified Results for 2025
This year, Bridging the Gaps’ data reflected the strength of our approach and the dedication of our clinical team. After an average of 228 days in treatment, 50% of reachable alumni reported being abstinent during the final 30 days at one year. These results represent meaningful, lasting change in the lives of the individuals we serve.
A Holistic, Relationship-Centered Approach to Healing
Bridging the Gaps provides a holistic, relationship-centered model of care in Winchester, Virginia, supporting adults seeking long-term recovery in a safe, intimate, and structured setting. With just 24 beds, our environment allows clients to receive close attention and develop strong therapeutic connections that support their healing journey.
Our continuum of care includes Residential Treatment, Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), Outpatient services, and Transitional Housing, offering a consistent and supportive progression through treatment. A hallmark of our clinical approach is the integration of amino acid therapy, designed to support neurotransmitter balance, emotional stability, and brain health throughout recovery.
Alongside clinical services, we emphasize trauma-informed therapy, individualized treatment planning and 12-Step–focused support. Our dedicated aftercare program ensures clients have continued guidance and resources as they transition back into their daily routines, reinforcing the skills and insights gained during treatment.
