Length of Stay

At The Bridge, we recognize that every individual is unique in their recovery process, including the amount of time it takes for healing to occur. The Bridge to Recovery is a safe space for this process to take place.

Length of Stay

• Our minimum length of stay is 2 weeks (14 days). 
• Many of our clients commit to 2 weeks, experience amazing progress and healing in those 2 weeks, deciding to conclude their time with us. 
• There are those that find their healing process needs more time, or there may be pieces they want to further explore that have been uncovered. For those clients we offer them the opportunity to extend for additional lengths of time. 
• Each client will have the opportunity to collaborate with their counselors, group members, and support team to determine if they want to stay longer – but it is ultimately their own personal decision. 
• Our job is to keep space open and available for your healing process to happen. 
• Clients may extend their stay beyond 2 weeks if recommended.
• Our average length of stay is anywhere from 2 weeks to 4 weeks.

It is important to us that your healing happens on your timeline, not ours.

Why does this open-ended process work?

This concept is another aspect truly unique to The Bridge to Recovery. 

• There is no “set” amount of time, or time limitations for an individual who feels their work is still incomplete. 
• It is up to the individual, with encouragement and support from their care team, to determine what is best for their mind, body, and soul
• You will not find yourself in a situation where you have opened up, engaged in the process, and then told your “time is up.”
• Our clients thrive in an environment where they feel safe to open up on their own healing timeline.
• Our clients learn to see their experience as an emotional healing journey and not an emotional “cure” – this leads to less feelings of failure, and better engagement in long term recovery. 

Attending The Bridge to Recovery is an emotional surgery. Like any surgery, every person’s healing process and progress is unique. We nurture that need.
