How we help
The Bridges, Hull provides a two-stage treatment model, each 12 weeks long;
Stage One treatment is specifically geared towards addressing substance use and associated behaviour. This stage of treatment will support the clients to identify and address addictive thinking and behaviour and replace them with recovery-focused attitudes and behaviours. In this stage, clients are not permitted to leave the centre by themselves and will be accompanied by a staff member/volunteer at all times.
Stage Two treatment builds on the work done in Stage One and is focused on empowering the client to re-engage with the community through volunteering and education and developing supportive relationships to give them the tools to continue their recovery when they have completed treatment. Clients in this stage are permitted to leave the centre unaccompanied, they continue to engage in daily treatment groups and are subject to a curfew.
More information on how we help can be found on The Bridges website.
