Lake Villa’s Bridge Program is designed specifically for young men battling drug and alcohol addiction. High school and college can be some of the most exciting times for any young man. However, the freedom that comes with it can often lead to exposure to drugs and alcohol. Unfortunately, “experimentation” with substances is common for young adults in this position.

Since using drugs at a young age can present a great risk, getting treatment early is essential. Trying drugs “once or twice” can be a slippery slope that leads to full-blown addiction.

More often than not, abusers slip into addiction without ever realizing what happened.

Our young men’s residential Bridge Program is meant specifically for young men in this category. Sadly, these boys typically struggle with self-esteem and confidence issues. For them, using drugs can often start as a way to fit in or to cope, but it often turns into something far worse.

The Bridge Program battles addiction by getting to the core causes of addiction in the young men that we treat. This is because easing withdrawal and supplying treatment is only a part of the battle. The roots of addiction can be intensely personal issues. In such a case, treating just the addiction this way is like only treating a symptom and not the cause.

However, our young men’s residential Bridge Program strategically targets young men’s addictions while simultaneously building their self-worth and image. Teaching these young men to find their own personal value gives them a foundation on which to build a successful, sober life. Without this foundation, many of these young adults will be unable to find lasting sobriety.

WHAT THE BRIDGE PROGRAM OFFERS

Lake Villa’s young men’s residential Bridge Program is an enhanced addiction treatment program, which also focuses on the unique needs of emerging adults at its core. Addiction often interrupts healthy development, which can create certain challenges for young adults seeking independence. The average human brain reaches full development in the mid 20s, but the use of drugs and alcohol can disrupt this process.

Designed for the 18-26-year-old age range, the Bridge Program gives our residents a recovery option with a focused evidence-based approach incorporating an array of modalities and supports.

While participating in the treatment, adolescent clients also participate in quality and credit-earning educational services that will also help your teen stay on course for educational success. Educational services are provided in partnership between Gateway Foundation, the local school district, and the client’s home school district.
