New Bridge Foundation has been successfully treating military members, veterans, and their families since 1968, and created Operation Success to address the unique needs of these individuals.

The Program Components include:

• 12-Step Program including: Young People’s 12-Step meeting for younger soldiers,  dedicated military 12-step meetings, and sponsorship
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
• Physical Conditioning Program with personal trainers, jogging and yoga
• Meditation and Movement Therapy

Dual Diagnosis Services:

Dual Diagnosis Services include all the services listed above, as well as the following:

• Medication Evaluation and Management
• PTSD/ASD Coping Skills
• Individual EMDR sessions to manage PTSD/ASD symptoms
• Anxiety Management and Training
• Biofeedback

Operation Success Program provides time to focus on yourself and concentrate on the tools needed to gain sobriety. For active military members and veterans this might mean coping with issues related to PTSD/ASD, depression or anxiety. Or, it could mean coming to terms with the stigma you may feel at having a drug or alcohol problem. For family members this might mean learning new skills to alleviate stress regarding loved ones serving overseas, or coping with the frequent moves often associated with life in the military.

For all of you, we have created this program to address these types of distinctive issues. We have created a Welcome Packet and brochure to answer your questions and ease your transition into treatment.  Our goal is that, upon completion of treatment, you have gained tools that you are confident implementing on your own, as you return to your homes or active duty.

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.
