The Bridgeway Intensive Live-In Treatment at Gray Road is a six-week residential addiction recovery program in Kelowna, BC for adults (19+) whose alcohol or drug use, along with behaviours tied to it, has already begun affecting daily stability, relationships, work, or emotional wellbeing. This live-in setting is part of The Bridge Youth & Family Services’ recovery continuum and is registered with provincial assisted-living oversight, offering a structured, substance-free environment where recovery is part of daily life.
A Residential Setting When Everyday Life Isn’t Working
People usually come to Gray Road after repeated efforts to manage substance use on their own haven’t held and consequences are now part of the life they’re still living like unstable routines, strained relationships, or setbacks at work. Living on site removes access to old triggers and provides a predictable daily rhythm that supports focus on recovery work alongside peers going through similar experiences.
Recovery Lived Through Structure, Support, and Insight
The program at Gray Road is intensive and residential, spanning about six weeks. Days are structured with group sessions, individual counselling, psychoeducation workshops, wellness activities, and transition planning designed to help participants build self-awareness, coping skills, and life strategies that support longer-term stability. The model also takes a holistic, biopsychosocial-spiritual approach to recovery, helping people explore the causes of substance use and practice healthier patterns in real time.
A Gender-Specific Cohort Experience
Gray Road runs on a cohort model with intake windows scheduled throughout the year for groups of people with a common gender identity (e.g., male-identifying or female-identifying), allowing participants to move through the program with a consistent group of peers and a stable support network.
Transitioning Toward Life Beyond Residential Care
Completion of the Gray Road program includes transition planning that helps participants prepare for what comes next, whether that’s continuing recovery in community housing, outpatient supports, or reintegration into work and family life. This planning aims to support continuity of progress made during residency.
For Adults Ready to Live Recovery Every Day
The Bridgeway Gray Road location is often used by adults who know substance use has already begun disrupting what matters most in their lives and who need a structured, immersive residential setting where recovery is built into daily living, community support, and sustained engagement.
