This center treats mental health conditions and co-occurring substance use. You receive collaborative, individualized treatment that addresses both issues for whole-person healing.

Bridges to Recovery has 2 spacious residences in Los Angeles. They specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma disorders, personality disorders, psychotic disorders, and co-occurring disorders. They also treat failure to launch, high-functioning depression, nervous breakdowns, and complicated grief. Bridges takes a holistic approach to healing, aiming to restore each aspect of clients’ mental health for lasting recovery. Bridges to Recovery provides each client with their own doctor and a minimum of 5 individual psychotherapy sessions per week. Thorough assessments and evaluations help guide treatment, and give clients accurate diagnoses. They help clients heal from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorders, childhood trauma, schizotypal disorder, histrionic personality disorder, and much more. Bridges to Recovery’s evidence-based therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), family therapy, and somatic experience therapy, among others. Yoga, meditation, physical fitness, and acupuncture are some of the holistic therapies they provide. Bridges to Recovery has a flexible technology approach for professionals who need to tend to work responsibilities. Clients in private rooms can bring their pets. Weekly team meetings keep clients’ treatment attuned to their changing needs, with each staff member collaborating for highly effective care. Clients’ primary therapists are all masters or doctoral-level and licensed. Bridges to Recovery is accredited by the Joint Commission, meeting treatment standards in all areas. On weekends, clients can enjoy activities like hiking and movie evenings. Bridges to Recovery also offers art therapy and process groups. Pottery classes complement art therapy and allow for creative expression. Equine therapy allows clients to interact with friendly horses under the guidance of a handler. Families can visit too, and stay in touch with their loved one throughout treatment.
