A Holistic Approach to Addiction Treatment
About Our Residential Program
Bridging The Gaps is a fully licensed, CARF-accredited treatment center located in Winchester, Virginia that concentrates on helping adults recover from drug and alcohol addiction. We are proud to be among the first treatment centers to receive the distinction of an ASAM certification for residential care which is awarded based on comprehensive criteria for outcome-oriented, results-based addiction treatment.
Break from Triggers and Temptations
Who Should Choose Residential Rehab?
Our residential rehabilitation treatment programs are designed for people with severe addiction, co-occurring disorders, or individuals who struggle with relapses. As the starting point for our continuum of care, the residential level of care provides the client with the opportunity to begin learning how to live comfortably without mind altering substances.
While acknowledging the valuable roles that emotional and spiritual development play in recovery we also focuses on the need to repair and rebalance deficits in brain chemistry related to the clients’ addictions.
We utilize amino acids and nutritional therapies to support early recovery and rebalance brain chemistry. By using an abstinence model, combined with targeted nutrients, our clients are able to feel better faster.

All of our residences provide a well-appointed, safe, and comfortable environment so clients can enjoy the comforts of home while working on physical, emotional and spiritual healing. Clients can prepare meals, work on therapeutic assignments, enjoy sober activities, and bond with their peers. Drayton and Sharrett Houses, our primary residences for early recovery clients, provide all of the typical home features, including:
● Spacious island-style, fully-appointed kitchens● Dining room, living room, and library/ areas● Multiple bedrooms and bathrooms● Front and back porches/patios for relaxing and gathering● In-home laundry facilities● Telephone, television, and internet access on a structured basis
The design, structure, and staffing of our residential program allows for support tailored to meet the needs of clients while providing a community feel. Residential clients live together in well appointed homes that simulate real life. Clients travel to the residence after the clinical day for a shared meal, fellowship, and time to unwind. In the morning, they return to our clinical building just like they are going to work or school. By simulating normal life, clients learn how to navigate life skills and practice building strong relationships with their peers.
Targeted Interventions
The Benefits of Residential Addiction Treatment
Evidence-Based Therapies
Our Residential Rehab Modalities
Neuro-Nutritional Therapy
Individualized supplementation of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals supports healing and rebalancing of neurochemicals to support recovery from addiction.
Integrated Medical Care
On-site medical providers work with residential clients weekly to ensure an integrated approach for health and wellbeing.
Healthy & Nutrient-Dense Diet
Clients work together to prepare nutritious meals that have limited sugar, caffeine, and processed foods.
Acu-Detox Services
An acupuncture modality that helps individuals in recovery to detox and support emotional healing.
Polyvagal Theory
Polyvagal Theory explains how the autonomic nervous system shapes emotional regulation, social connection, and stress responses. It identifies three states: the safe "ventral vagal," the fight-or-flight "sympathetic," and the shutdown "dorsal vagal." Trauma often prioritizes survival over connection, but understanding these states can help address trauma, improve self-regulation, and build resilience.
Physical Fitness and Yoga
Yoga and exercise have been shown to be beneficial in addiction recovery. These activities not only promote physical health but also mental and emotional well-being. They help reduce stress, improve mood, and support the development of healthy routines essential for maintaining long-term recovery.
Psycho-Educational Sessions
Clients learn the fundamentals of the physiological, psychological, social, family, and spiritual aspects of the disease of addiction and life in recovery.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
An evidence-based approach that helps individuals change behavior and thoughts associated with the use of drugs or alcohol.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Therapy that focuses on helping clients modify their emotions, behaviors, and thoughts in order to better manage difficult circumstances or mental health issues.

Facilitated by our credentialed staff, clients meet weekly with their primary counselor and have the opportunity to process their concerns and work on their mental health in daily group therapy sessions with their community of peers.
Family Psychoeducation & Conjoint Sessions
The disease of addiction impacts the entire family so we provide additional support to help the family members heal alongside the client.

Recognizing the Need for Change
When to Begin Residential Rehab
Different people require different levels of care. Our primary aim is to help to match you with care that will put you or your loved one on the road to long-term recovery.
We begin with a pre-admissions evaluation that typically includes questions about:
● Substance use, mental health, and medical history● Personal background, family structure and/or issues● Legal history● Physicians and/or therapists● Insurance information
Based on this information
Our admissions coordinator and clinical team help to determine the most appropriate program. Once we have found an arrangement to meet your needs, we help you prepare for your stay with us. We navigate the process to find solutions and eliminate barriers, providing regular communications every step of the way to make things easy.

FAQs
Find answers to commonly asked questions about addiction and recovery.
Does residential treatment work equally for all addiction types?
Our overarching philosophy and approach to residential treatment applies to all addictions. We focus on evidence-based treatment modalities with strong emphasis on building community and getting to the roots of addiction. Though the core program works equally for all addiction types, we individualize each client’s journey. One of the big differences in treating the various types of addiction is how we customize our amino acid therapy program. Depending on the drug of choice, clients will present with deficiencies in different neurochemicals. We address those deficiencies according to the client’s symptoms.
How do residential and outpatient rehab programs compare?
Most of our clients admit to treatment at the residential level of care. This level of care is the most intensive that we offer and provides a safe space for clients to stabilize physically, mentally, and emotionally. The added support of 24/7 care creates a safe environment for clients to get clean with limited access to opportunities for relapse. Our outpatient programs provide a taper in the intensity of care that is required. As a client is ready, they step down through PHP, IOP, and OP which each provide for greater autonomy and opportunities to practice the skills learned in treatment. This tapered approach to treatment provides the greatest opportunity for long-term recovery.
How long is residential rehab?
All of our treatment is individualized based on the client’s specific needs. We do not have a predetermined length of stay as each client will require something slightly different. Our program is built to provide a long-term continuum of care. On average, clients can expect to be in residential treatment for the first 3 – 4 weeks of their treatment and then transition into our second phase of treatment which utilizes the outpatient levels of care combined with supported sober living options.
