Navigating Recovery Together
What to Expect on the Day of Admission
When you arrive at Bridging the Gaps, you’ll be warmly welcomed by the team you’ve been in contact with over the phone. Sue, Becky, and our friendly Golden Retriever, Rodie, will help with the initial paperwork and make sure you feel comfortable as you settle in. You’ll have time to ask any questions and say goodbye to your loved ones.
Once you're ready, you’ll begin a full and engaging day, starting with a thorough assessment and the creation of your personalized treatment plan. Our staff will guide you on a tour of the facility, where you'll meet your new peers and get to know the staff members. By the end of the day, your belongings will be moved into your new room, and you’ll have a chance to settle in before attending a 12-step meeting and sharing dinner with your new community.
How long will I stay in rehab?
The duration of treatment varies depending on the individual's needs and progress. Your treatment team will discuss the recommended length of stay and any adjustments that may be necessary. Research shows that clients who stay engaged in treatment for a longer duration have better long-term outcomes.
Do you offer visitation hours?
Yes, we do after your first week. Visitation hours are 3 pm-5 pm on Saturday. To be eligible for a visit, attendees must participate in our family education session on Wednesday evenings. Specific details about visitation will be provided once you’re admitted.
Can I communicate with my family?
There is no cell phone use or computer use in our first phase of treatment. Clients have access to a landline at the house to make a 15-minute call to family daily. In our second phase, clients are allowed to have their cell phones and computers after the clinical day.
What can I do to prepare for rehab?
Before coming to BTG, you can jump-start your recovery by focusing on eating protein-rich foods to support your body’s healing and repair. Consider taking basic supplements like fish oil, B-complex vitamins, and omega-3s to enhance your overall health and support your brain function. Additionally, drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated and help your body flush out toxins. Starting a healthy routine with these practices can create a strong foundation for your upcoming rehab experience, making the transition smoother and more effective.
What does the first 72 hours look like?
In the first 72 hours we focus on getting to know you and understanding your needs through detailed assessments and questions. Our goal is to help you stabilize and settle in comfortably. During this time, we conduct orientation, develop your personalized treatment plan, and assign a dedicated clinician to guide you through your recovery journey. Additionally, we introduce you to our facility, its resources, and your new peers, ensuring you feel supported and informed. This initial phase is designed to create a solid foundation for your recovery, addressing any immediate concerns and setting you up for a successful and fulfilling rehabilitation experience.
How does BTG help with withdrawal symptoms?
At BTG, we utilize amino acid therapy to support our clients through withdrawal. Amino acids are crucial during withdrawal from drugs or alcohol, as they help replenish depleted neurotransmitters, stabilize mood, and reduce cravings. They also support physical recovery, aid in liver detoxification, and alleviate withdrawal symptoms like fatigue and anxiety. By restoring neurotransmitter balance and supporting brain function, amino acid therapy promotes a smoother, more comfortable withdrawal process and aids in long-term recovery.
The BTG Difference
Getting to the Roots of Addiction
Amino Acid Therapy
Balancing Brain Chemistry
We believe that the roots of addiction are grounded in neurochemical deficiencies in the brain. Neurochemicals drive both emotions and behaviors as they are the messengers in the brain that convey feelings such as motivation and contentment. On day one of treatment, we evaluate our clients to identify the specific neurochemicals that are most likely deficient. We then provide an individualized plan for amino acid therapy. Through our nutritional program, we further support physical healing so that the body can naturally rebalance.
Supporting clients to experience true abstinence from substances while receiving support to rebalance their brain chemistry provides a space for deeper healing. Our amino acid therapy allows clients to feel better faster so that they have the focus and emotional resiliency to get the most out of the therapeutic program and holistic drug rehabilitation.
Addressing the Underlying Sources of Pain
Uncovering and Healing the Root Causes of Addiction
At Bridging the Gaps, we believe that addressing the underlying sources of pain is essential for achieving lasting recovery in addiction treatment. By delving into deep-seated issues such as trauma, anger, grief, shame, and low self-esteem, our approach goes beyond merely managing symptoms. We help individuals understand and heal the root causes of their pain, facilitating a more comprehensive recovery. Through therapy and self-reflection, our clients can process these underlying issues, paving the way for healthier coping strategies and long-term well-being.
The Benefits of Our Personalized Treatment
How Individualized Care Enhances Recovery
At Bridging the Gaps, our intimate and individualized approach to treatment offers significant benefits. Our smaller size fosters a close, supportive environment where clients build strong, trusting relationships with both staff and peers. This personalized setting allows us to tailor treatment plans to each individual’s unique needs, enhancing comfort and openness. As a result, clients can more effectively address their personal challenges and achieve meaningful, lasting progress in their recovery journey.
Building the Bridge to Wellness
Connecting Personalized Care with Lasting Recovery
Restorative Wellness
Unlocking Lasting Change Through Personalized Care
At Bridging the Gaps, we are dedicated to healing the whole person by integrating a holistic approach to treatment. We address not just addiction but also the essential aspects of wellness, including nutrition, exercise, and sleep. Our comprehensive approach ensures that clients receive balanced nutritional support, engage in physical activity to boost overall health, and adopt practices that promote restorative sleep. By incorporating these elements along with holistic therapies, we support our clients' overall well-being, helping them achieve lasting recovery and a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Empowering Recovery Through Education
Fostering Healing and Dismantling Stigma
At Bridging the Gaps, we prioritize education as a key component of our treatment approach. By empowering clients with knowledge, we foster a deeper understanding of addiction and recovery, which is crucial for healing. Our educational efforts also aim to dismantle the stigma and shame often associated with substance use, helping clients embrace their journey with confidence and self-compassion. This foundation of understanding and support paves the way for more effective and lasting recovery.
The Power of Clarity in Recovery
How Individualized Care Enhances Recovery
At Bridging the Gaps, we believe that Clarity in Recovery is essential for lasting transformation. Clarity means having a clear understanding of your goals, triggers, and the path forward. It involves gaining deep insight into the underlying causes of your addiction and how they influence your behavior and emotions.
Achieving clarity helps you make informed decisions, set realistic goals, and stay focused on your healing journey. By embracing this understanding, you can navigate your recovery with greater purpose and resilience, paving the way for a more empowered and sustainable recovery process.
What a Typical Day Looks Like
During your stay at Bridging the Gaps, you'll follow a structured schedule tailored to support your recovery journey. You'll take part in individual and group therapy sessions, where you’ll address personal challenges and build effective coping strategies. In addition, you'll attend educational workshops, 12-step meetings, and participate in therapeutic activities like exercise and mindfulness practices. Each day is thoughtfully organized to offer a balance of treatment, personal reflection, and community support, promoting a holistic approach to healing.
During their stay in our residential program, residents spend their evenings cooking and sharing dinner together, engage in a 10th-step process, attend a daily 12-step meeting, and have time for relaxation or completing homework. On weekends, they join additional 12-step meetings and take part in scheduled activities.
6:30 AM - 7:30 AM
Gym/Exercise
Exercise is crucial in rehab as it helps improve physical health, boosts mood, and reduces stress, which supports overall recovery. Additionally, incorporating regular physical activity can enhance mental clarity and build resilience, aiding in the development of healthier coping mechanisms.
8:00 AM
Morning Preparation
Clients begin their day by getting ready and enjoying a healthy hot breakfast, with the option of cold breakfast items to suit their preferences. They are assisted in learning how to prepare a balanced lunch to take to the office every day. Clients are taught the importance of preparing a healthy lunch daily, emphasizing the benefits of not relying on fast food or skipping meals throughout the day.
9:00 AM - 10:30 AM
Education
Our education program allows clients to learn more about the disease of addiction and develop cognitive and behavioral tools to avoid relapse, mend relationships, establish healthy habits in recovery, and strengthen their support network within the community.
10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Therapeutic Process Group
Therapeutic Process Group are structured settings where individuals come together to explore and address their personal challenges and emotional issues with the guidance of trained counselors. These groups provide a supportive environment for members to share experiences, gain insights, and develop coping strategies while benefiting from the collective wisdom and empathy of the group.
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Lunch
Clients prepare healthy, packed lunches the day before their clinical sessions. This practice of accountability, planning, and meal preparation not only supports their nutritional needs but also fosters a sense of responsibility and self-care, contributing to their overall progress in recovery.
1:05 PM - 2:05 PM
Community Group Therapy
Our Community Group Therapy sessions are structured educational meetings where individuals learn about psychological concepts, coping strategies, and therapeutic techniques. These sessions aim to provide participants with valuable information and skills to better understand and manage their mental health, support their recovery, and enhance their overall well-being.
2:15 PM - 3:15 PM
Activity Group Therapy
Activity Group Therapy provides participants with an opportunity to engage in experiential activities such as art, music, movement, cooking, guided meditation practices and gardening to foster personalized integration of learning. Through the activity-based group process, participants gain greater insight into the nature of their addiction. They learn to recognize their personal strengths and assets that support their healing and realize they can rely on the power of community to aid in their recovery.
3:30 PM - 4:30 PM
Accudetox/Meditation
Our Acupuncture Detoxification Specialists use Chinese acupuncture to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and promote relaxation by stimulating the body’s natural detox pathways. Acupuncture helps reduce cravings, ease physical pain, decrease anxiety, regulate emotions, manage stress, and improve sleep. Similarly, meditation is employed to manage stress, promote relaxation, reduce anxiety and depression, improve sleep, and enhance mental focus. BTG has long utilized meditation as a centering practice that fosters calm and well-being, benefiting clients recovering from addiction.
5:00 PM
Building Community and Personal Growth
Residential staff drive the clients to our sober-supported house, where clients work together to prepare a healthy and delicious meal. The community sits down to eat a family-style dinner, replicating a home-like atmosphere. During dinner, the community practices the 10th step together. This allows each client to take a daily inventory of their behavior, promptly admit any wrongdoing, and continue their personal and spiritual growth. Clients also have the opportunity to give feedback to one another, fostering closer relationships and supporting each other's progress.
7:00 PM
Support Meetings
Our residential staff escort our clients to local AA or NA meetings in the community. Clients are encouraged to build a network of support and to find a local sponsor to assist them in their early recovery journey.
8:30 PM - 10:00 PM
Evening Routine: Connecting, Relaxing, and Reflecting
As clients wind down for the day, they are given the opportunity to make a 15-minute call to their loved ones. They can also use an additional 15 minutes to call their sponsor once they have obtained one. They also use this time to relax, watch some TV, read a book or work on any therapeutic assignment before going to bed.
We are Small & Supportive
The Antidote to Addiction is Connection
Traveling the Recovery Journey Together
What happens after rehab?
Transitioning back to everyday life after rehab can be challenging. We support a gradual step-down approach through different levels of care. After residential treatment, clients can move to day treatment (Partial Hospitalization) and live in our supported sober living house, which offers additional freedoms and autonomy while maintaining necessary support. As clients progress, they can transition to Intensive Outpatient (IOP) or half-day treatment, staying involved with peers and starting part-time work, school, or volunteer opportunities. Our Continuing Care program, the final step, provides ongoing support, therapy, and community to help clients build a productive, sober life. We also recommend engaging in the 12-step community and working with a sponsor.
We’re Here for You Every Step of the Way
After Phase I of treatment, Bridging the Gaps offers a Supported Sober Living Program that provides a structured, substance-free residential environment for individuals in early recovery. Residents benefit from continuous support and peer encouragement while accessing essential resources such as 24-hour staff and life skills training. Our program is designed to foster accountability and personal growth, facilitating a smooth transition from residential treatment to independent living. By creating a safe and nurturing space, we aim to empower residents to develop healthy habits, address underlying issues, and build a stable foundation for long-term sobriety and fulfillment. Our Supported Sober Living Program includes:
24-Hour Sober Support
Our program offers continuous staffing to provide round-the-clock support and accountability. This includes the use of breathalyzers and drug screens following outings to ensure sobriety.
Sober Community
Engage in a supportive environment with peer-led activities, house events, and planned sober outings that promote connection and a sense of community.
Living Skills
Develop essential daily living skills through structured cooking classes, daily meetings, and a well-organized schedule designed to foster responsibility and growth.
Autonomy
Enjoy a balanced approach to independence with allowances for phone usage and weekend passes, helping you regain autonomy while maintaining support.
Nutrition for Recovery
Benefit from high-protein meals, amino acid supplementation, and pro-recovery menus that are free from sugar, all designed to support your recovery journey.
Home-like Setting
Experience a calm, stress-free environment that minimizes exposure to triggers, enabling you to focus on personal growth and recovery.
Supporting Each Other in Recovery
What If I Relapse?
Addiction is a chronic, progressive disease that involves compulsive use of substances or engagement in behaviors despite harmful consequences. Relapse can be part of the process of recovery. If a client relapses while engaged in services, our clinical team immediately steps in to support the client without judgment. We will work with a client to increase their level of care so that we can support them in re-establishing their sobriety and learning from the triggers that resulted in relapse. We do not automatically discharge clients upon use. Our passion is helping people build meaningful lives in recovery, and we will fight for our clients to keep working toward that goal.

Our Holistic Treatment Methods for Addiction
Explore our comprehensive suite of holistic treatment methods designed to support a healthy recovery from addiction.
AA Meetings
Alcoholic Anonymous (AA) meetings follow a 12-step program that helps individuals develop coping mechanisms and strategies for managing their addiction in a healthy way.
AcuDetox
Acudetox (auricular detoxification) is a therapeutic technique that involves the application of acupuncture or acupressure to specific points on the ear to help detoxify the body and calm the nervous system.
Amino Acid Therapy
Amino Acid Therapy uses specific amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins, to help regulate brain chemistry and alleviate cravings and other discomfort associated with addiction and early recovery.
Group Education
Group education allows clients to learn more about the disease of addiction and develop cognitive and behavioral tools to avoid relapse, mend relationships, and establish healthy habits in recovery.
Group Psychotherapy & Individual Sessions
Group psychotherapy is a small group of clients, led by a trained clinician, who come together to share their struggles, emotions, and experiences. Individual sessions allow clients to work with their assigned counselor to explore these themes further. Together, these approaches foster connection, mutual support, and deeper self-awareness while providing tailored strategies for personal growth and healing.
Polyvagal Theory
Polyvagal Theory explores how the autonomic nervous system influences emotional regulation, social connection, and stress responses. The theory identifies everyone has three primary states: the safe and connected "ventral vagal" state, the mobilized, fight-or-flight "sympathetic" state, and the immobilized, shutdown "dorsal vagal" state. Trauma can wire our brain for survival versus connection. Understanding these states can help individuals and clinicians address trauma, improve self-regulation and connection, and foster resilience in therapeutic settings.
Nutrition Education
Nutrition education teaches our clients the importance of a healthy and balanced diet, as well as how certain foods can impact their physical and mental health. It also addresses the specific dietary needs of those struggling with addiction, such as vitamin deficiencies or food sensitivities that may contribute to cravings and relapse. By learning to make mindful food choices, clients can support their recovery, improve energy levels, and foster overall well-being as part of a holistic approach to healing.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a therapeutic approach that identifies, processes, and releases emotional pain and trauma stored in the body and brain. Developed by Dr. David Grand, it uses a client’s eye position to locate "brainspots," which are linked to unresolved trauma or distress. By focusing on these spots in a safe, supportive setting, clients can access deeper emotional processing, facilitating healing and greater self-awareness. Brainspotting is particularly effective for individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, addiction, and other emotional challenges.
