About Bridgeway Community Health – Salem
Bridgeway Community Health is a nonprofit community health center in Salem, Oregon that used to be called Bridgeway Recovery Services. The name change reflects the growing number of services offered and the holistic approach to healthcare. The Harold Drive location offers medically managed detox and a medical clinic. They accept most insurance as well as Medicaid and some state financed health insurance plans.
The staff at this center takes a unique approach to recovery services. Their philosophy is that people have a much better chance at recovery if their physical health and basic needs are met. That’s why they offer a wide array of medical services beyond detox. The focus is on mental and addiction treatment, but they also have routine medical checkups, dental services, and a wider community reach. They also focus on mental health treatment for co occurring disorders.
The center offers detox for alcohol and most drugs, including heroin, fentanyl, methamphetamines, and prescription opiates. The detox services are inpatient and include 24/7 medical monitoring. Most people stay about a week but some leave earlier after being cleared by the doctor. During detox treatment, you’ll participate in group therapy. In keeping with the holistic approach to care, you’ll also eat healthy delicious food prepared by their in house team of chefs.
During therapy, you’ll work to address any co occurring mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, or post traumatic stress disorder. The counselors also help you explore issues such as grief and loss that may have contributed to your substance use. The treatment team is also available around the clock to help you with emotional symptoms that may arise from detox.
The staff works to integrate all aspects of your healthcare as you move through detox and onto a sober lifestyle. You may decide to continue in the inpatient program or attend an outpatient program at their other location.
