12 Step Residential Treatment

The Bridges – Hull is a residential rehabilitation service run by The Forward Trust, supporting adults who are experiencing issues with drugs and/or alcohol. The service has been operating for over 20 years and provides structured, evidence-based treatment to help people achieve and maintain recovery.

The programme follows a two-stage treatment model lasting between 12 and 24 weeks. The first stage focuses on addressing substance use and related behaviours, while the second supports individuals to rebuild their lives and reintegrate into the community. Treatment is based on the 12-step approach and includes a range of therapeutic activities such as counselling, group work, meditation, and structured recovery programmes.

The service offers a safe, supportive residential environment for up to 19 people at a time, with separate accommodation for men and women. Alongside private living spaces, clients have access to communal areas including a lounge, gym, and dining facilities, helping to build a sense of community during recovery.

Support is delivered by a professional and non-judgemental team, many of whom have lived experience of addiction and recovery. The overall aim is to help individuals become substance-free, improve their wellbeing, and develop the skills needed to lead healthier, more stable lives.
