The Seattle Adult Rehabilitation Program

This program supports men recovering from alcohol and drug addiction.

The Adult Rehabilitation Program (ARP) offers a three-bridge approach that allows participants an intensive six-month in-patient recovery program, an additional two months of in-house work development, assistance finding a job, and an additional six months of independent living in the Adult Rehabilitation Program facility that provides a supportive sober community. All at no cost.

BRIDGE I: Recovery

Bridge I is a six-month residential program focused on structured living, recovery, education, licensed partner counseling, and spritual growth. The purpose of this program is to provide a safe place for individuals to learn about their addiction, restore their physical health, gain a spiritual connection, and receive the training needed to maintain sobriety. The goal of the program is to address the underlying causes of the individual’s addiction behaviors and create a bridge of hope to lasting sobriety and personal fulfillment.

BRIDGE II: Rebuilding

Bridge II: This portion of the program involves employment preparation, life skills, work experience, and practical transition planning. While building practical skills, program participants also work on other aspects of recovery in the safety of our Adult Rehabilitation Program. The goal of this part of the program is to build upon the foundation laid in the ARP and the Field Training Assignments (FTA) from Bridge I.

BRIDGE III: Independence

Bridge III helps program participants transition from a highly structured recovery program environment to independent living. This includes housing referrals, continued recovery connections, alumni relationships, and community support while maintaining a strong emphasis on activities centered around Christ-based recovery, i.e. sponsorship, fellowship, twelve-step meeting attendance, and The Salvation Army services.
