About A Bridge To Recovery
A Bridge To Recovery is a rehab center accredited by The Joint Commission. It is situated in Jackson, MS, and provides adults with substance abuse treatment through various treatment modalities, including outpatient and aftercare programs. These rehab programs are run by licensed clinicians dedicated to helping individuals recover from drug and alcohol addiction.
Before outpatient treatment can commence at A Bridge To Recovery, individuals must undergo an assessment to better curate person centered treatment. This comprehensive assessment, known as the SASSI-4, helps this rehab center uncover how best to treat substance abuse and promote recovery. Once the evaluation is completed, the below treatment programs can be sought:
The intensive outpatient program (IOP) offered by A Bridge To Recovery provides gender specific recovery groups to help facilitate honesty and openness and promote overcoming drug and alcohol abuse.
This IOP is created for those 18 and older and is based on the 12 steps founded by Alcoholics Anonymous. In addition, those seeking recovery with this rehab center should note that it follows abstinence based principles and therefore does not provide medication assisted therapy (MAT).
At A Bridge To Recovery, numerous drug and alcohol aftercare groups are provided as part of the substance abuse aftercare program. This program is accommodating as it allows for different times for individual and group therapy weekly.
These groups are created to help people learn structure, accountability, and stability to remain on the path of sobriety. Usually, this program is undertaken by those who’ve completed this addiction treatment center’s IOP.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Intensive Outpatient We believe alcoholism and drug addiction are progressive fatal diseases that must be treated. The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) consists of both group and individual counseling. Groups are held in the evenings and meet 3 times a week for 3 hours each group for a total of 9 hours per week. The IOP includes a family component for education and treatment of codependency issues. The program is 10 weeks long. A Bridge to Recovery has an evening IOP on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings from 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm. We also offer a morning IOP on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm, but is currently closed. After completing the IOP we encourage clients to attend our Continuing Care Program.
We understand that addiction is a disease which requires complete abstinence as a necessary part for recovery. Our program is 12 Step based and incorporates peer support, cognitive-behavioral, relapse prevention, art, experiential, and emotive therapies. A vital part of recovery and our program is 12 Step meetings and working with a sponsor.
We are certified by the Mississippi Department of Mental Health.
Aftercare Support Clients engaged in a rehab aftercare program approach recovery as a life-long process. Drug rehab aftercare encompasses myriad services designed to promote clients' continued sobriety as they reintegrate into their home, workplace, and community. Clients generally partner with their case managers and recovery team to define their recovery needs and goals and to identify and access the services they need to promote them. These often include peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
For those seeking help with addiction, a drug rehab in Mississippi offers the necessary care to achieve long-term recovery. Options include inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and long-term drug rehab in Mississippi.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Programs
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
Clinical Services

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Counselors who apply motivational interviewing take on the roles of listening and reflecting. Their goal is to facilitate conversation about change and commitment to change. They offer support and seek to empower the client to make changes in their life.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
Eye Movement Desensitization And ReprocessingCreative arts therapy allows you to express the emotions you can't explain with words. You use an art form, such as dance, music, painting, or sculpting, to talk through and share your thoughts and feelings.
You can start using nicotine replacement therapy as soon as you quit using tobacco. These products, such as nicotine gum and nicotine patches, treat your physical dependence on nicotine. To address any psychological dependence, counseling and support groups can be good resources.
