At New Bridge Foundation, we believe that detoxification should be safe and as painless as possible. Under the direction of our medical director, our team of physicians and nurses provide a thorough assessment and decide what detoxification services are needed. This program for adults includes the following:

• Medical Assessment
• Medication Evaluation
• 24-Hour Monitoring
• Individual Counseling and Support
• Group Sessions
• Treatment and Discharge Planning

Detox is an important step in getting ready for the treatment process. This is a time to cleanse the body and mind and prepare oneself for doing the important work of sobriety. During detox you will meet regularly with our medical staff as your needs and health status are continually evaluated. You will have the opportunity to attend groups while a comprehensive plan for your transition to another level of care is created. Our goal is that, upon completion of detox, you are feeling whole and ready to take on the next challenges of your sobriety.

Call our Admissions office at 800-785-2400 or 510-548-7270 if you are interested in finding out more about our treatment programs.

New Bridge Foundation offers a free Aftercare Program for all individuals successfully completing treatment. The program consists of weekly group therapy, 12-step meetings, and random urine screens. Our Aftercare Program is unique in that there are multiple Aftercare groups and not just one large group where few clients get to share. This allows for individual attention and group bonding. 

We cannot stress enough the importance of attending Aftercare if you are able. Studies consistently show that the longer individuals stay in treatment, the better their chance of staying sober.  We designed our Aftercare Program with these studies in mind. If you are unable to attend Aftercare at New Bridge Foundation, we will work closely with you to create an Aftercare Plan which includes services in your area.  We want you to have the best chance possible of living a sober, happy life. Many clients report that the bonds they create in Aftercare are ones they have for a lifetime.
