Bridge Recovery

Meridian’s residential facility, Bridge Recovery, is located in Sauk Rapids Minnesota – just outside of Saint Cloud. The 96 bed men’s residential facility is licensed as a co-occurring facility and has been specifically designed to foster a warm, calming, and supportive environment for men to heal from both substance use and mental health conditions. Here you feel like you're part of a community. Addiction isolates and separates us so community helps us recover.

You will start with an initial assessment to determine the appropriate level of care to meet your unique needs. From there, a more thorough and ongoing assessment will be done to review your medical, mental and substance use history. If you’re working with an outside professional, we will coordinate care for a smooth transition from one service to another. If needed, non-emergency transportation will be provided.

The caring and highly trained staff at Bridge Recovery works with each person to design a personalized care plan that supports everyone’s individual journey to recovery. The team meets throughout the day to review your treatment plan and assesses your progress in treatment to determine if changes are needed. Your treatment team may consist of the following:

  • Mental health professional
  • Licensed alcohol and drug counselor
  • Registered nurse and licensed practical nurse
  • Medication assistant
  • Certified peer recovery specialist
  • Recovery specialist

Treatment services will consist of the following:

  • Comprehensive assessments performed by licensed professionals
  • Treatment planning
  • Medication assisted treatment for ongoing medical needs but also to ease the discomfort of detoxing and to reduce cravings
  • Individual sessions with your counselor
  • Group counseling sessions. Types of groups may include:
    • New patient orientation
    • AA meetings
    • Relapse prevention
    • Communication skills
    • Mental health education
    • Primary group (your focused group with your counselor and peers)
    • Recovery maintenance
    • Health education
    • Alcohol and drug education
    • Family education
    • Coping skills
    • Life skills
    • Self-discovery
    • Older adults

When you’re not in treatment, you’ll participate in recreational activities so you can learn that you can have fun, even without the use of substances. Bridge Recovery is a large facility with room to spread out and is handicapped accessible. There’s a walking trail, fitness room, basketball court, ping pong, card games, karaoke and at times, we even host talent shows.

So call to get started – you’re worth it!
