Treatment at the Bridge Programme

Client and officer at a The Salvation Army Bridge centre

The Bridge Programme provides a safe, integrated, high quality treatment service to people whose lives have been affected by the harmful use of, or dependency on alcohol or drugs. You will be supported, challenged and encouraged to make positive changes in your life so that you can find hope, direction, peace and stability.

This purposeful, whole of life, person-centred, caring approach combines four key elements;

  • Partnership
    You will be in a purposeful relationship with the treatment team as your move along your own personal path to recovery.
  • Community Reinforcement Approach
    We go beyond education and advice to coaching and practice. Where practical, family and friends are encouraged to participate in your treatment plan.
  • 12 Step Recovery Journey
    The 12 Step approach suggests that the recovery includes a distinctly spiritual journey from a life of confusion and grief to a place of serenity and peace.
  • The Salvation Army
    The Salvation Army in Aotearoa / New Zealand seeks to offer an evidence based, best practice treatment for people moderately to severely affected by their harmful use of, or dependency on alcohol and / or drugs as a practical expression of its Christian based love and concern for all people in the community.

If you are concerned about your current use of alcohol or drugs, The Salvation Army Bridge Programme can assist you with further evaluation to decide the extent of the problem and identify solutions.
