about-bridges

Bridges Sober Living Apartments opened in the summer of 2022. Even before it opened, its reputation preceded it. Bridges very quickly rose to prominence and became recognized as one of Los Angeles’ top sober living communities.

At Bridges Sober Living, we provide both women and men with a safe and supportive residence in our sober living apartments. Moreover, we help them rebuild their lives by working with them as they develop new life skills and seek employment. It is our goal to provide a trigger-free place to recover from drug and alcohol addiction – but more importantly, to facilitate a smooth transition back into the world at large.

Support and Assistance for Women and Men Struggling with Substance Addiction

Our programs are designed to help anyone suffering from addiction put down their drugs and alcohol and regain their lives. We believe that long-term sobriety is about far more than just quitting addictive drugs – it’s about finding new, healthier tools to replace them. Our staff members work with residents as they learn how to live new, successful, and joyful lives in sobriety.

Residents make use of our plentiful resources during their time at Bridges. These include house gatherings, money management, family outreach, one-on-one mentoring, and involvement in the city’s wider recovery community.

The initial days of recovery are generally a bit rocky. We help residents stay clear of dangerous triggers and encourage them to repair their damaged lives. In the process, they enroll in academic programs, start new careers, and make new and lasting friends.

By the time they graduate, residents have a firm foundation of recovery skills and a set of values to live by. Moreover, they are firmly and comfortably situated in Los Angeles’ thriving recovery community, ensuring they have access to a social support system and plentiful resources for the rest of their lives.

Meet The Founder

Derek Eckley, a native of New Jersey struggled for more than a decade to overcome his addiction. In and out of 18 treatment centers, he nearly lost all hope before trying one last hand in Los Angeles. He entered an all-male, structured sober living that taught him invaluable lessons he carries with him today-lessons he now works tirelessly to spread to young men struggling to navigate a path he knows all to well.

Derek understands that removing drugs and alcohol is just the first step toward rebuilding a fulfilling life in recovery. He mentors men who struggle with addiction and mental health, guiding them through obstacles often encountered in early recovery-including repairing broken relationships with family, learning how to budget, and navigating job and career placement.

Derek preaches continued involvement in a 12-step program, the same one he credits with his personal sobriety. He believes strongly in principles like discipline, accountability, responsibility and integrity. He adheres to the notion that recovery is not give, it is earned one day at a time with and eye toward a much brighter future.
