Admissions
You are in excellent hands at New Bridge Foundation. With over 40 years of experience and proven outcomes, you have made a decision that is going to change your life. Our graduates consistently report, not only a life free from drugs and alcohol, but a life filled with meaningful relationships, emotional well-being, and purpose.
The admissions process begins with a free, confidential evaluation to determine if there is a drug or alcohol problem. Level of care and a plan for treatment are created according to each person's individual needs. Our warm and dedicated staff believe every person can change and are here to help guide you.
Admissions take place at our offices at 1841 Berkeley Way in Berkeley, CA. If you are coming for a residential stay, please review What to Bring. If you are deaf or hard-of-hearing, we offer a full continuum of care to address your needs. Please ask your Admissions Counselor for payment options available for treatment.

You may be asking yourself, “Why should I choose New Bridge Foundation?”
Proven Outcomes
New Bridge Foundation has been providing effective treatment for over 40 years. The reason we continue to thrive is due to our exceptional quality of treatment services and our outstanding outcomes. Our graduates enjoy lives free from drug and alcohol use, and consistently report more meaningful relationships, higher job satisfaction, and a better overall quality of life.
Individualized Treatment
We offer many levels of treatment including detox, residential, day treatment, and intensive outpatient. We have a flexible program that suits the individual and allows clients to move from one level of care to another without interrupting the treatment process. For example, if you have completed a residential stay and are returning to work, you can transition to our outpatient program for the added support and structure you may need as you resume your life outside of treatment.
Integrated Treatment
In addition to drug and alcohol treament, we offer different programs to suit each person’s needs. For individuals who self-medicate with drugs or alcohol to treat symptoms brought about by their depression or anxiety, we offer a Dual Diagnosis Track with medication managment, specialized groups, and cognitive behavioral therapy. For individuals who are coping with pain and struggling to achieve sobriety, we offer a Pain Management Track with medication evaluation, biofeedback, and acupuncture. At New Bridge Foundation, we offer a range of services because everyone deserves to live a happy and healthy life.
Your Best Interest
New Bridge Foundation is a nonprofit agency. Unlike for-profit institutions, everything we make goes directly back into the quality of our services. This means we always have your best interest in mind.
Holistic Treatment
We believe that you cannot treat drug and alcohol addiction without treating the whole person. As a result we use traditional as well as alternative treatment methods such as acupuncture, meditation, and yoga. At New Bridge Foundation, we want to do everything we can to make sure your experience is a successful one.
