Recovery is personal, and the challenges that come with adjusting to sober living can be different for everyone.

At Bridges, one-on-one mentoring gives residents an opportunity to work individually with a mentor while living in a structured sober living environment.

Mentoring focuses on practical areas of life, including establishing routines, working through everyday challenges, staying accountable to personal goals, and making use of available recovery resources.

What Is One-on-One Mentoring?

One-on-one mentoring provides residents with individual guidance during their time at Bridges. Instead of relying only on group or community settings, residents have an opportunity to speak with a mentor about their own circumstances, goals, and challenges.

A mentor can help residents think through practical situations, stay focused on commitments, and work on habits that support their day-to-day life in sober living.

The focus is on meeting residents where they are and providing individualized guidance based on what they are working toward.

How One-on-One Mentoring and 12-Step Support Work Together

At Bridges, one-on-one mentoring is offered alongside 12-Step support as part of the broader sober living experience.

The two can complement each other in different ways: 12-Step participation connects residents with a recovery community and framework, while mentoring provides a more individual space to talk through personal goals and day-to-day challenges.

Residents may participate in 12-Step activities such as meetings, step work, and sponsorship while also using one-on-one mentoring as a place to reflect on their own experience and stay accountable to the goals they have set for themselves.

The combination gives residents both community-based recovery resources and individual guidance within their sober living experience.
