What are the Bridge Street Recovery Residences?

The Bridge Street Recovery Residences is a newly renovated sober living facility in Bennington, New Hampshire.

The primary purpose of our recovery residence is to provide a safe and healthy living environment that initiates and sustains recovery. Recovery is defined as abstinence from alcohol and other non-prescribed drug use and improvement in one’s physical, mental, spiritual, and social wellbeing. Individuals build resources while living in our New Hampshire recovery residence that will continue to support their recovery as they transition to living independently and productively in the community.

Services and amenities include Meals and Provisions, WiFi, Recreational Rooms, Washers and Dryers, 24 Hour Staff, Weekly Recovery, Community Meetings, and access to recovery specialists and support workers daily.

Living in this environment can promote lasting recovery by helping people maintain their sobriety as they adjust to life both during and after treatment. Many people use sober housing to help make the transition from rehab to living independently without using drugs or alcohol.

People who live in our facilities are expected to be responsible for themselves. This is an important step in recovery because addiction causes people to act in irresponsible, dangerous ways, and the friends and families of addicted individuals often enable them by supporting those behaviors without even realizing it.

An important element of our New Hampshire Recovery Residences is the sense of community and the power of unity that comes from multiple people working to achieve spiritual, mental, and emotional growth.
