12-Step Residential Program Rooted in Community
Sid Martin Bridge House provides 28–90 days of residential treatment for adults 18 and older. The program follows a 12-Step philosophy that combines personal accountability with community connection. Clients attend Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings, work with sponsors, and participate in a structured daily routine that supports stability, discipline, and self-directed growth.
Therapeutic and Supportive Treatment Environment
Located on Meridian’s Gainesville campus, the program offers a calm, restorative setting where clients can focus fully on recovery. Treatment includes individual, group, and family counseling, alongside relapse prevention and health education. Case management, peer mentoring, and aftercare planning help clients strengthen social and practical support for life beyond treatment. The facility’s smoke- and vape-free policy reinforces health and mindfulness during recovery.
Family Integration and Specialized Care
Sid Martin Bridge House reduces barriers for parents by offering child care and residential beds for clients’ children, allowing families to stay together during treatment. The program provides family counseling, domestic-violence services, and trauma-informed care for individuals who have experienced abuse or violence. Veterans, active-duty military, and justice-involved clients can access tailored resources and group programming. Integrated mental health care supports clients managing co-occurring conditions, with medication treatment options available when appropriate.
Continued Recovery Through Connection
Clients may transition into Meridian’s outpatient programs for ongoing counseling and support after residential treatment. The program welcomes individuals who use medications for addiction treatment (MAT) prescribed elsewhere and offers therapeutic options such as buprenorphine or naltrexone when clinically indicated. As a private nonprofit, Sid Martin Bridge House provides sliding-scale fees, accepts multiple insurance plans, and offers sign language interpretation for clients who are deaf or hard of hearing.
