The Bridge Solution: The Bridge Foundation is a non-profit organization which supports adolescents, young adults, and families in Recovery from drug and alcohol and other behavioral-related problems. The Bridge Foundation believes that there exists a need for a local, supportive, community-based and inclusive Peer environment for young people and their families as they are in the process of navigating challenging transitions that occur during the Recovery Process, and offers a new paradigm that will:

• Provide a physical environment where young people can come together in fellowship and holistic community to work toward common healthy sober practices;
• Foster the quest for young adults and their families to find the right balance in their lives and relationships
• Enable opportunities for prevention, cure and sustainable skill development within an individualized, multi systemic approach
• Provide tools for survival, self sufficiency, dignity and lifelong freedom from limitations
• Engage in a 12 Step Program when appropriate in ways that are meaningful to young adults

Bridge Wellness Farm is a pilot project that will be replicable and expanded, which will include one recovery house and a barn on 2 acres, serving women in recovery who are entering recovery housing following incarceration.
