There is limited wheelchair access to the ground floor of the building.

We are an abstinence based residential service, operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Office hours are 8:00am to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday.

Our service is available to men and women over the age of 18 whose lives have been severely affected by their misuse of alcohol.

Referrals can be made by the prospective client or their representative e.g. Care Manager, Alcohol Worker, Hospital Staff, Social Worker, Probation Officer or Community Psychiatric Nurse.

What happens when we meet?

You will be asked to attend the Project for an Assessment Interview. The purpose of this is to find out what you want and need and establish whether Bridge House is the best environment to meet those needs. If you are not sure about this, check our Frequently Asked Questions.

A decision will normally be made on the day of the assessment and an admission date, or approximate waiting time, will be given.
