Community Bridges’ main clinical program (Medical Detoxification) insists on a standard of “Detox with Dignity” to reclaim lives, save families, and return productive citizens to the community.

This program is co-occurring enhanced and designed to stop the “Revolving Door Syndrome” and insure all patients are clinically triaged, safely detoxified, referred into an existing therapeutic Continuum of Care.

Community Bridges Medical Detoxification programs located at our East Valley, Central City, and Arizona Bridge to Recovery facilities utilize a physician-directed protocol (generally 3 to 5 days) designed to prevent the loss of life that can occur when individuals attempt to withdraw from alcohol or drugs. Community Bridges physicians use medical procedures and protocols nationally recognized as “Best Practice” approaches for medical detoxification.

These medical protocols are directed by licensed medical practitioners and supported by our clinical team of registered nurses, behavioral health specialists, peer support specialists, and transition coordinators.

Community Bridges goal is to stop the “Revolving Door” by not only providing a safe medical detox but also provide ongoing assessment while the patient is in our care. Community Bridges registered nurses and transition coordinators work closely with the medical practitioner and any existing professional and social supports in developing a comprehensive discharge plan that will take into account all of the six dimensions of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Patient Placement Criteria. All attempts are made to make available all of the resources currently available within the community to assist with ongoing care.
