Salem Bridges to Change
Whether homeless, just completing inpatient treatment, or getting out of jail or prison, people in recovery often find themselves released into the community without a safe place to live. Those who have completed treatment programs require a clean and sober environment to continue with their recovery program.
Mentor House, Hillsboro
Addicts and alcoholics must have a drug- and alcohol-free living situation or it is much too easy to slide back into addiction. This downward cycle leads to a return to active addiction, creates more victims, and drains an already drained economy. .
Our newest home in Portland
Providing low cost housing is one of the crucial tools to help these men and women. Bridges to Change makes low cost housing available to people who are committed to changing their lives.
We have ten recovery transition houses, providing shelter to 125 men and women in four counties.
Our new Salem home
is as big as it looks!
Each Bridge House has a house manager who lives on site. His or her job is to insure that the house is a safe, positive, clean and sober environment that supports the change efforts of residents. Rents vary from house to house, depending on if it's a single or shared room. Included are utilities, cable TV, phone, and in most houses, computer access with DSL service. Bed linens, and cleaning supplies, and dishes are also included.. We honor diversity, and together our goal is to build a community that provides safety, respect, and dignity for all involved.
