A Men-Only Setting That Promotes Emotional Openness

By removing the dynamics of a mixed-gender environment, the facility fosters deeper peer trust and emotional safety. Many residents arrive having never had a space where vulnerability was encouraged or supported among other men. Whether in group therapy, informal conversations, or shared living spaces, this men-only setting gives clients permission to speak openly about shame, anger, trauma, and recovery in a way that’s often harder elsewhere. The result is a treatment culture that normalizes emotional expression and builds authentic community.

Learning to Have Fun Sober Again

Activities are designed to reengage with joy, creativity, and connection. Recreational activities like basketball, walking trails, ping pong, and card games are paired with community-building events like karaoke nights and talent shows. These aren’t treated as rewards—they’re part of the recovery work. In a setting where many residents are relearning how to have fun without substances, these activities help rebuild self-esteem, ease anxiety, and create bonds that extend beyond the therapy room. The range and intentional use of these activities make recovery feel less like a clinic and more like a community.

Clinical Care in a Warm Atmosphere

Clients receive individual counseling from both addiction and mental health professionals, and groups go beyond core topics to include family education, mental health literacy, and trauma-focused work. Certified peer recovery specialists play an active role alongside licensed clinicians, helping bridge the gap between professional guidance and lived experience. The facility avoids a hospital-like feel, favoring a warm, communal setting where emotional honesty is encouraged without being overwhelming. Bridge Recovery provides residential substance use treatment exclusively for adult men, offering a setting where clients can focus on recovery without the distractions of a mixed-gender environment. This gender-specific approach helps foster trust and open communication, allowing men to address their experiences and challenges more directly in group and individual therapy.

Part of the EOSIS/Meridian Behavioral Health Network

As one of several facilities in the EOSIS (Meridian Behavioral Health) system, Bridge Recovery benefits from the resources and standards of a well-established statewide network. This affiliation brings consistency to care and access to additional support systems, enhancing the treatment experience while maintaining a local, community-based feel.

Whole-Person Approach to Healing

Bridge Recovery’s programming is built around a recovery-oriented model that recognizes addiction’s impact on the mind, body, and spirit. The facility’s mission—to “rebuild lives, restore families, and strengthen communities”—is reflected in its focus on helping clients reconnect with themselves and others. Therapy at Bridge doesn’t just address substance use; it also creates space to work on relationships, emotional health, and future goals.

Structure, Stability, and Support

Residents at Bridge Recovery follow a structured daily schedule centered on therapeutic groups, individual sessions, and skill-building. The residential setting offers stability during early recovery—a time when many people benefit from being removed from triggering environments. With the consistent support of peers and counselors, clients learn to manage cravings, cope with emotions, and begin building a foundation for life after treatment.

Inclusive and Accessible Treatment Options

Bridge Recovery accepts a wide range of commercial and public insurance plans, including Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP), making treatment more accessible to men from diverse backgrounds. This commitment to inclusivity reinforces the facility’s community-based mission and ensures that more individuals can access high-quality care regardless of their financial situation.
