Partial hospitalization focuses on the overall treatment of the individual and is intended to avert or reduce in-patient hospitalization.

The team at Design for Recovery helped me recover from my pill addiction. I could get away for maybe a day from opiate pain meds but that whole day all I thought about was getting high. I always gave in eventually left to my own. I had a mindset change faster than I expected at Bridges. Suddenly getting high seemed boring and secondary to what I glimpsed of the lives of the staff and other peoples at Los Angeles AA meetings. The support at Bridges and friendships made all the difference. I am coming up on two years sober now and excited about life and what’s next. I didn’t even know who I was or what my passions were while using. Today I’ve discovered so much I’m interested in and currently I am literally pursuing my dreams.

I am truly grateful for the care and attention I received at Bridges. The therapists were knowledgeable and compassionate. I wanted something like a Malibu beachside sober living like on the movies but it wasn’t at all affordable. I found Bridges luckily which was the next best thing, such a nice apartment building and the location is great. The Women I met there are incredible and some I plan to stay friends with hopefully forever. Looking forward to visiting new women at the house, for the beach on Sundays, and giving back.

The Promises are being fulfilled among us — sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly.

Step Nine of recovery brings hope and transformation, helping me set goals, make amends, and close the door on old habits. Through making direct amends, I’ve repaired relationships and built a stronger foundation for a sober life.
