About Youth Bridge
You could describe Youth Bridge as a community builder and protector. Based in Springdale, Arkansas, they provide a host of services meant to prevent future harm, counseling to help children through current struggles, and family services to keep the community safe and sheltered.
They have a residential program, called the Journey Program, for male adolescents ages 14 to 18 who are experiencing substance use disorder or a co-occurring mental health disorder and have been ordered by court to seek help.
Prevention and Intervention to Stop Trouble at The Root
Early intervention gives teens a way out of destructive behavior patterns before they escalate out of their control. When it comes to substance misuse, youths are vulnerable to peer pressure, drawn to experimentation, and don’t yet understand the consequences of their actions.
Youth Bridge steps in to provide education and resources to keep youths out of trouble. And beyond this, they also provide counseling that helps teens understand more about why they’re engaging in risky behaviors and the different ways they can manage their emotions in the future.
Emergency Shelter for Crisis Situations
For teens experiencing homelessness or leaving home to seek safety, Youth Bridge acts as a safe landing place for them to seek shelter and assistance with planning their next steps. If reuniting with family members isn’t a viable option, they’ll help you find a long-term housing solution.
During an emergency stay, adolescents receive general and targeted counseling that walks them through their experiences and emotions. They’ll also slot into a school continuation program, ensuring they don’t fall behind with their academics.

Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
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.
The goal of drug rehab in Arkansas is to help individuals stop using addictive substances and learn healthy ways to remain clean long-term. Participants learn vital skills to cope with cravings and manage stress, to prevent relapse.
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.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Clinical Services
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.
