Why Financial Skills Matter in Recovery

Long-term sobriety is supported through financial security. Most recovered addicts have financial concerns, including debts, overspending, and failure to budget for living expenses. Inadequate financial planning brings about financial uncertainty and tension, and these can serve as triggers for a relapse into addiction. 

Gaining budgeting, savings, and practical financial planning helps one become self-independent and gain confidence. Our financial management in recovery service introduces real-life skills for controlling one's financial decisions, lessening financial burden, and working towards a secure and independent future.

One of the best places for support and maintaining sobriety! The units are Cozy and clean, the staff is great and always there when needed and go above and beyond for their clients. Great, friendly, welcoming environment, and all around great place. If you need help staying sober in a clean and caring environment, you'll find that at bridges

Vickie Killman

Bridges Sober Living is an amazing facility. The staff is friendly and helpful. I’ve lived here for 4 months and have found it warm and comfortable. They have helped me stay sober for all the time I’ve been here. They help place you in an outpatient program, take us to meetings 5 nights a week, shopping, and take us to get our medications and to doctors appointments. I’m so glad I found this apartment and I can’t imagine living anywhere else in the beginning stages of my sobriety.

Nicole Eva

Bridges recovery saves lives. I was in a different program that just wasn’t working for me, but then I found bridges. I had never been able to put this much sobriety together until I got here. Upon arrival, Daniel was not only accommodating, but also made me feel safe. I’ve been to many treatment centers and I know that recovery can truly happen here. If you’re considering seeking a sober living then give yourself the chance you deserve and go to bridges. You will not regret it.
