The Bridge Centre – Salvation Army (Hobart, TAS) program team will develop a plan that meets individual needs for adults and persons as young as 12 years old.
Your own plan will fit your own special needs. We treat your privacy with utmost care, but if you like, your family, your boss, or even your parole officer can be involved.
Families with concerns about drug and alcohol use in their households are able to receive help also.
We offer you all sorts of services from visits at home from a nurse or counsellor, individual and group day progams, and live-in programs.
We also help link you into other services that may assist with your needs.
You can have a couple of discussions, or be involved in a whole year of receiving help — whatever suits you best.
Our Live In program includes access to a gym and helps to get your physical health back on track with a balanced diet. Live In programs include meals, accomodation and workshops.
Our accomodation program takes you out of your home setting and provides you with counselors, courses on overcoming addiction, grief and loss; action plans and support, along with taking care of food and bedding, so you can focus on getting better.
The program offers a family, gender, and culturally sensitive treatment approach for people with substance use issues, who are willing to undergo a stabilisation process.
Residential facilities
The Residential Program is available in two locations, Hobart and Ulverstone. We offer 12 beds at our Ulverstone facility and 27 beds at our Hobart facility.
During the 10 weeks of the program clients are supported by a team of AOD Specialists and health professionals who will provide case management, individual and group therapeutic interventions, clinical interventions, psycho-education, and relapse prevention.
The Residential Program is integrated into other non-residential components of the Bridge Program; offering clients a full suite of complementary, wrap-around services to support their ongoing rehabilitation.
The Residential Program facilitates a flexible approach to treatment to meet the needs of people who:
- have children
- require short-term, intensive treatment tailored to their individual circumstances
- have recently completed treatment and require short-term support or respite
Clients will be eligible for shorter-term residential programs if they:
- require more intensive support than is offered in the community
- require a brief stay to prevent or manage a lapse/relapse
- have less severe comorbidities / no significant cognitive impairment
Clients in our shorter stay residential program will work collaboratively with the treatment team to select interventions appropriate to the individual’s treatment goals and determine the length of stay required.
Within the stepped care model clients are able to commence the program at any stage and are able to “step up” into longer intensive treatment if required.
