Passes are not allowed for High-intensity patients. Low-intensity patients can have passes with frequency and length dependent on each person’s clinical progression.

EOSIS Bridge has a good food vendor, which prepares meals onsite. If there are dietary requirements the nursing staff will address this with you upon admission and will communicate any dietary needs to the kitchen staff.

Groups and individual sessions are about an hour. You will see your counselor for an individual session at least once a week. You will have 30 hours of clinical programming a week while in the high-intensity residential program and then transition to 15 hours a week once you are in the low-intensity residential program.

We have two types of bedrooms, dormitory-style and suites. The dormitory-style rooms have either 2 beds or 4 beds, and our suite rooms have 2 beds in each room and there are 2 bedrooms to a suite. Roommates are determined by who is admitting and discharging to the facility, but a request can be made to move rooms if there are concerns with roommates.

You may have appointments for individual therapy or continuing care once you are discharged. We will connect you with the appropriate community resource to continue your recovery journey.
