Bridges International views substance abuse as a problem of the whole person, affecting some or all areas of educational or occupational skills, and interpersonal skills. We realized that moral and spiritual issues are primary problems. By treating the whole person, our team at Bridges International believes we are able to nurture a culture of true healing and personal growth within our Therapeutic Communities. This culture raises awareness and helps to bring about changes in the way people think, live, and function. These positive, uplifting changes are then applied to every aspect of their lives. This ultimately impacts their relationships not only with themselves, but with their souls, families, friends, co-workers, and neighbors.
