About Us
 
The Bridge is a residential facility located in southcentral Kentucky with short and long-term programs that jump start people's recovery from negative behavior patterns that sabotage their lives and relationships.

AT THE BRIDGE, we believe that codependence is the “dis-ease” underlying many addictions and that it is only as we address people’s codependency issues that long-term recovery can be sustained. Therefore, part of our focus is on core issues that create or contribute to relationship problems, anxiety, depression and driven-ness or compulsive behavior. Left untreated, the following issues can compromise sobriety, putting chemically dependent individuals at risk for relapse:
 ●  Undue shame
 ●  Lack of mature coping skills— (arrested development)
 ●  Repressed, backlogged emotions
 ●  Lack of identity and self—esteem
 ●  Lack of healthy boundaries
 ●  A tendency to act in the extreme-immoderation

The Bridge to Recovery is a program of self-development for people struggling with any negative habit: chemical dependence, codependence, or non-chemical dependencies.

THE BRIDGE TO RECOVERY was established in 1975 as a nonprofit organization with the sole purpose of helping individuals and families identify problems hindering their social, emotional, and vocational development. In 1977, the Foundation purchased a picturesque ninety acre site in Warren County, Kentucky, as a permanent home for The Bridge.

The founders’ vision was to create a program of recovery from unhealthy dependencies geared to the needs of young people reared in conservative religious families who had become alienated from family, church, and God for various reasons, including substance abuse. As time went on and the success of the program became well known, the target group became broader.

In the last thirty years, our model has evolved into an effective growth process for people who grew up in alcoholic, workaholic, and other kinds of “driven” systems and are currently trapped in negative behavior patterns of their own. Our program creates the nurturing and guidance necessary for such individuals to achieve reasonably high levels of self-esteem and social effectiveness. It also serves as an excellent relapse prevention program for chemically dependent people. Sustainable recovery is the over-all goal.
