Short-term stabilization when you need it most.
Sometimes recovery requires a pause — a safe place to regroup, stabilize, and prepare for the next step. The Bridge’s Respite Program provides short-term, trauma-informed care for adults who need extra support during times of crisis or transition.

Adults 19 and older who are at high risk of relapse
Individuals in crisis who need a safe environment for stabilization
People waiting to enter a treatment program and needing interim support

Why It Matters
The Respite Program bridges the gap between crisis and long-term recovery. For many, it’s the safety net that prevents relapse and helps them take the next step with confidence.
