The Bridgeway Intensive Live-In Treatment at Ethel Street is a six-week residential addiction recovery program for female-identifying adults in Kelowna, BC, operated by The Bridge Youth & Family Services. It’s part of a structured, live-in recovery model designed for people whose substance use, and the life disruption it causes, has already begun affecting work, relationships, housing, or emotional wellbeing. This centre provides a predictable, substance-free residential environment where recovery is part of daily life.
A Residential Reset When Everyday Life Has Slipped
People typically enter Bridgeway at Ethel Street after attempts to address use on their own or through less intensive supports haven’t held. The live-in model gives individuals distance from old triggers and the chaos of past routines, creating a stable space where recovery work can unfold through routine, reflection, and community support.
Recovery Built Into Every Day
This program spans approximately six weeks and uses a holistic biopsychosocial-spiritual approach, helping participants explore how physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual factors intertwine with substance use while building practical skills for stability and insight. Daily life integrates group engagement, routines that promote accountability, and opportunities for personal reflection so recovery becomes part of everyday living.
Stepping Toward What Comes Next
Bridgeway at Ethel Street includes not only the core residential phase but also transition beds that can support people as they move toward next steps, whether that’s continued engagement with recovery housing, outpatient services, or reintegration with real-world roles. This helps ensure the momentum built during the residential period carries forward.
For Women Ready to Live Recovery Daily
The Ethel Street location is typically used by women who recognize that substance use has already interfered with what matters, work, relationships, housing, emotional balance, and who need a focused, structured, live-in environment where recovery is lived through routine, peer support, and sustained engagement.
