Holistic Addiction Treatment: Discover the BTG Difference
If this is your first time entering treatment for substance use disorder, you may be wondering what sets one rehab facility apart from the next. Even if you have entered treatment multiple times, you may feel disheartened by your repeated experience with the same modalities and may be yearning for change. At Bridging the Gaps, our integrative, holistic approach is tailored to each individual we treat, providing a unique experience that bridges the gaps between cutting-edge therapies and traditional methods. We welcome you to explore the BTG difference.
Healing the Mind, Body, and Spirit
What Sets Us Apart?
Our holistic approach to healing focuses on the whole person, including the underlying issues or trauma that impact an individual’s well-being. At BTG, clients are provided the opportunity to explore the underlying pain and longstanding beliefs that, if mismanaged, result in relapse behaviors. In a safe and nurturing community of their peers, individuals are guided on a personal journey of recovery by examining the underlying causes of their addiction and given the tools they need to find healing.
While each healing journey is unique, we know from decades of experience that the path to recovery takes compassionate guidance from trusted professionals. Our team works collaboratively to provide a combination of evidence-based therapeutic practices and holistic modalities to nurture growth and transformation. We provide the time, safety, and loving accountability needed to heal.
We Treat the Underlying Sources of Pain
The Roots of Addiction
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.

Strong Ties with 12-Step Community
A key ingredient to sustained abstinence for most individuals involves a system of ongoing support provided within the 12-Step communities. That’s why, in addition to our therapeutic modalities, we encourage clients to be actively involved in a 12-Step program. Winchester has a large and diverse 12-step community that offers multiple meetings of the primary fellowships (Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous) every day of the week. Residential clients attend daily 12-step meetings so that they can gain exposure to key concepts of the 12-step approach, become familiar with a variety of meeting formats, and have the opportunity to connect with people who can share their experiences and successes. Outpatient clients are also encouraged to attend daily meetings.
In addition to making daily meetings a part of their sober schedule and routine, BTG clients are all encouraged to be active participants in the fellowship by obtaining a sponsor, building a sober support network, and engaging in sober activities outside of the treatment setting. Clients are given opportunities to connect with 12-step community members before and after local meetings, at community 12-step gatherings, and can host members of their sober support network at the residential houses for meals and socializing. This exposure to elements of 12-step programs provides clients with a foundation that has helped thousands of individuals stay sober and successfully transition to a life of recovery after treatment ends.
Treating the Whole Person
Holistic Approach
Addiction is a chronic, progressive, and life-altering disease often characterized by periods of relapse and remission. But, with proper treatment and a multi-faceted approach to recovery, countless individuals find lasting change each and every day. At Bridging the Gaps, we are committed to setting all of our clients up for success. That means providing them with a range of knowledge, tools, and experiences that will afford them the best chance of maintaining sobriety.
We believe that addiction is a “whole person” disease requiring treatment of the mind, the body, and the spirit. In addition to evidence-based therapeutic counseling, we offer other innovative modalities to support the healing of your mind, body, and spirit. All of the treatment components work together as an integrative whole, which helps our clients recover their physical, psychological, and spiritual health and gives them the tools they need to maintain a life free from drug and alcohol addiction.
A Unique Blend of Healing Approaches
Special Modalities
Learn how we integrate and blend a powerful mix of therapies and healing practices.
Food and Nutrition
At BTG, the food and nutrition program is centered on supporting the client’s recovery. We focus on developing a healthy relationship with food that will give clients a good foundation to build their health in recovery. This is important because not eating well can lead to not feeling well, which can lead to craving alcohol and/or drugs.
Amino Acid Therapy
Amino acid supplementation rebalances the clients’ brains, which restores functioning of the brain’s neurotransmitters. By addressing these neurotransmitter deficiencies, clients’ abstinence symptoms, including cravings, mood swings, and withdrawal symptoms, are dramatically reduced. We also help clients find their natural sleep and biorhythms through nutritional and supplementation protocols.
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback that uses real-time displays to illustrate brain activity and teach self-regulation. A dysregulated brain tends to be over-stimulated when it is supposed to be calm and under-stimulated when it is supposed to be attentive. Through neurofeedback, we are able to “re-train” the brain to function normally again. When your brain is better regulated, it allows you to improve regulation of thoughts, feelings, and focus.
Acupuncture Detox (Acudetox)
Our Acupuncture Detoxification Specialists use Chinese acupuncture to relieve many of the clients’ symptoms of withdrawal and abstinence. Acudetox stimulates the body’s natural detox pathways and promotes relaxation. Acupuncture has also been shown to reduce cravings, ease physical pain, decrease anxiety, help regulate emotions, decrease stress, and help regulate sleep.
Meditation
Meditation helps manage stress, promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety and depression, improves sleep, and improves mental focus. BTG has long used meditation as a centering and healing practice that promotes a feeling of calm and wellbeing, which is very helpful to clients who are recovering from the disease of addiction.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is an evidenced-based, brain-based, psychotherapeutic tool that identifies, targets, processes, and then ultimately releases significant physical and emotional memories. By working through these memories and learning grounding techniques, clients are able to better emotionally regulate, experience less anxiety, and ultimately are less likely to want to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol.
Exercise
Regular exercise is the best way to increase energy, reduce fatigue, and elevate your mood. Addiction is a brain-based disease therefore BTG utilizes the modalities that are scientifically proven to heal the brain. Studies have shown that exercise results in marked increases in mood-enhancing neurotransmitters.
Creative Expressions
At Bridging the Gaps we offer art therapy and music therapy, which provide the clients with an opportunity to explore, understand, and resolve core issues in their lives that they may not feel comfortable talking about in regular conversation. Expressive therapy is beneficial to those dealing with addiction because it provides them with ways to understand their addiction, express themselves in a healthy way, and develop healthy coping skills.
Massage
Stress is a serious barrier to healing from the disease of addiction. Clients who experience stress and anxiety are often tempted to return to substances to soothe those feelings. Massage therapy is very effective in reducing stress and promoting deep relaxation. Massage has also been shown to increase dopamine and serotonin levels in the brain, which can help improve a client’s overall outlook.
Reiki
Reiki is a form of energy healing which has many physical and emotional benefits. It promotes feelings of relaxation and drastically reduces stress. Reiki also encourages the body’s natural healing mechanisms, which is beneficial to someone on their path of healing from addiction.
