We have a private car park at the side of the building. There is limited
wheelchair access to the ground floor of the building.
Our service is available to men and women over the age of 18 whose lives have been severely affected by their misuse of alcohol.
Referrals can be made by the prospective client or their representative
e.g. Care Manager, Alcohol Worker, Hospital Staff, Social Worker,
Probation Officer or Community Psychiatric Nurse.
You will be asked to attend the Project for an Assessment Interview.
The purpose of this is to find out what you want and need and establish
whether Bridge House is the best environment to meet those needs.
If you are not sure about this, check our Frequently
Asked Questions.
A decision will normally be made on the day of the assessment and
an admission date, or approximate waiting time, will be given.
Sessions take place in a supportive and comfortable environment in which you can feel secure. Residents participate in a wide range of groups - Therapeutic, Educational and Social.
In addition to the group programme, we have the following social calendar:
We know that parents try their very best for their children and
many have told us that, while they can get help and support for themselves,
there is very little available for their children. At Bridge House,
we have a Children & Families Project Worker available to work with
both children and parents with the aim of helping to strengthen/re-build
these relationships.
Bridge House also has a small terraced house, called Joachim,
about 10 minutes' walk away, which is fully equipped and furnished.
This is used to help our residents to have quality time with their
children, perhaps over a weekend, whilst still being able to gain
support from the Project.
