The Bridge House New England Aftercare Ministries

Located in Framingham, Massachusetts, this Christian recovery home serves adult men with substance use histories who have completed detox and maintained at least 30 days of sobriety. The program blends structure with personal accountability, helping residents build sober living skills while securing employment, financial stability, and housing. Residents engage with the broader community and attend local self-help groups, with support to access physical, behavioral, and vocational services. Each resident follows an individualized treatment plan guided by licensed addiction counselors. Weekly one-on-one sessions and small process groups focus on motivation, decision-making, and relapse prevention using evidence-based tools like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), self-management and recovery training (SMART), and community reinforcement. Staff also lead life skills sessions on budgeting, anger management, vocational readiness, and spirituality. Optional Christian-based groups, mindfulness, and expressive therapies offer added support for healing and personal growth. Residents live in shared housing, complete daily chores, and maintain tidy personal spaces. The structured routine includes daily morning groups and dinners. A two-week orientation covers budgeting, job readiness, and wellness. Residents save weekly and pay a fee once employed. Nearby services—like healthcare, legal aid, job training, and 12-step meetings—are within walking distance and help residents manage responsibilities while staying engaged in recovery
