New Bridge Foundation - Helios

Short-Term Residential Structure

Helios is a short-term residential program offering a focused 4–6 week stay for adults beginning recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges. The program’s 24-hour residential environment provides structure, safety, and daily accountability, helping clients stabilize while building healthy routines. Days follow a consistent rhythm of group therapy, education, physical activity, and time for reflection, so clients can practice new skills in a supportive setting. The multidisciplinary staff includes licensed clinicians and counselors who help clients identify triggers, strengthen coping tools, and prepare for a sustainable return to daily life.

Evidence-Based and Holistic Therapy

Treatment integrates proven behavioral therapies with holistic wellness practices that address both the mind and body. Core services include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relapse prevention counseling, and family education. Complementary supports such as acupuncture, yoga, meditation, and mindfulness-based recovery groups help clients manage stress and reconnect with their physical and emotional health. Group sessions promote communication and accountability among peers, while one-on-one counseling gives space for deeper personal work.

Lifelong Aftercare and Continuing Support

Every graduate of the Helios program receives free aftercare for life. This includes ongoing group meetings, relapse prevention workshops, and access to counselors familiar with each client’s treatment history. These sessions help individuals stay connected, accountable, and supported as they navigate life after residential care. Alumni can return for check-ins or join virtual aftercare groups, ensuring support remains consistent even when schedules or locations change.

Specialized Care for Veterans, LGBTQIA+ Clients, and Trauma Survivors

The center adapts care to the needs of specific groups who face unique barriers to recovery. The veterans and active-duty military program includes coordination with VA providers, stress-management training, and counseling for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and reintegration challenges. A dedicated LGBTQIA+ track ensures affirming, inclusive care, addressing issues such as identity stress, discrimination, and strained family relationships. For individuals healing from trauma, therapy focuses on safety, empowerment, and skill-building rather than re-exposure.
