The Bridge Program is a Tasmania-wide service for help overcoming and recovering from addictions related to Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs. We meet you where you are at, for the needs you have at the time. Together we will develop a plan that clearly fits you, with one main worker to support your recovery.

Our service is designed with each individual to meet their needs and can include:
– Community and home-based recovery support
– Facilitated group work
– Family support (deleted youth)
– Consumer participation and advocacy
– Residential recovery (live-in) services
– Dual diagnosis support
– Counselling service (deleted web-based self-care)

– Matrix program (deleted Healthy Living program)

The Bridge Program includes a Family Engagement Program to support family members and carers of people with addiction issues. The family service includes brief counselling and psycho-education sessions, the Be SMART program and a fortnightly support group.
