About Community Bridges

Community Bridges is a drug and alcohol rehab facility located in Mesa, Arizona. They provide inpatient treatment for people who have substance use disorder and alcohol use disorder. They treat people who suffer with mental health issues and addiction issues concurrently.

All incoming clients will receive a drug test and a psychiatric evaluation. If there are drugs in your system, you can detox at this facility. You will be assigned a case manager when you come in who will follow you every step of the way.

They have a medically trained staff that will monitor you constantly throughout your withdrawal. They have extensive training in each type of addictive drug. They will be able to provide you with medically assisted treatment if your discomfort from detox is too great.

Impatient services are gender specific here. People in recovery often feel safer and more comfortable in a single-sex environment. They work with many justice system organizations. Many of the clients are there because of drug related convictions.

You will receive both group and individual therapy. The individual sessions you have will be custom to your needs based on your intake information.

Drug rehab always relies heavily on peer support. You will have multiple group therapy sessions per day. Before you leave treatment, you will be referred to local 12-step meetings where you can find a sponsor.

Most psychotherapists who treat substance use disorder will use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in private sessions with clients. This is a type of therapy that teaches you to think differently in order to stop destructive behaviors. They may also use motivational interviewing In which a therapist will ask you questions designed to help you find your own motivation to stop taking substances.

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Inpatient

Sober Living Homes

If you're struggling with adjusting to daily life after inpatient rehab, a sober living home in Arizona may be a good option. These residences offer an in-between option where you can practice the skills you learned in rehab in a structured, drug-free environment. This transition can help you prepare to face the "real world" after treatment. You'll live with others in recovery and follow house rules such as contributing to chores and paying rent.

24-Hour Clinical Care

The initial phase of recovery treatment typically includes 24-hour clinical care in Arizona. This constant supervision ensures a safe detox process, which helps the individual physically stabilize from substance use. Patients will receive medications to curb withdrawal symptoms and cravings, as well as other necessary medical treatment. This period typically lasts up to a week, then the individual will receive medical clearance to begin inpatient or outpatient rehab.

Medically Assisted Detox

The safest way to remove addictive substances from your body is done under the care of licensed medical professionals. Known as medically assisted detox, this level of care is typically in an inpatient setting with a team of medical experts that may include doctors, nurses, and mental health clinicians. Medications like Suboxone, methadone, or Vivitrol may be administered to help alleviate withdrawal symptoms.

Treatment

Dual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental Health

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical behavior therapy in Arizona focuses on acceptance of your reality and behaviors while also attempting to make changes in unhealthy behaviors. It has been shown to be effective for the treatment of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance use disorder.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

I was sent here for a whole 72 hr hold involuntarily due to over intoxication and being in a bad depression episode on one instance. I was visiting someone in AZ the week of Christmas I didn t even live there. It was the most trauma/ptsd inducing experience I ve ever had and it could be made into a movie what I experienced there. Watch one flew over the cuckoo s nest if you want a play by play of the environment here. It is completely wrong, from a human being and healthcare providers perspective, to mix people with mental health and people with drug abuse/overdose/withdrawl. Even as an ER nurse I have not seen what I experienced in this facility. The logistics of the entire place is so far from right, everyone in there should lose their license if they can choose to remain at a place like this. You should not work in healthcare if you don t care enough to prevent experiences like mine from happening. I will always remember my time in there, for the worst, and not by choice. I had no idea places like this existed or people like that exist. I ve never been to jail but the only difference from what I ve seen on TV is we weren t handcuffed and we didn t have rooms or a bed. One shower, recliner chairs, and one big room with zero privacy or safety. It was and still is completely inappropriate to shove 20+ people in one multipurpose room that are experiencing minor-major mental health issues, people in mental health crisis dealing with an active episode losing their minds screaming physically abusing staff, and people that are tweaking on drugs. I never needed to see what I saw in this place, it s taken me 4 years to be able to make this review and I hope someone important sees this and makes a change for the rest of the state of Arizona. Remember, if you can t control yourself, someone else will. The ER is always open and is a safe option for help that doesn t invade your human rights.

This place is horrible. There are roaches everywhere . The water machine has roaches crawling inside of it. They treat you like an animal! The food is not sanitary and delivered cold. Anyone can make up a reason for you to go here. Law enforcement is no help. Even with police reports to back you up they are overlooked for self fulfilled reasons. I have made many harrasssment claims and the police still used their force to put me here. I was willing to go, and they still forced involuntary on me. Its a shame that you can do everything to protect yourself and still be put in this kind of situation. Sadly, this place ruins families. Do not send your loved ones here. This is not real help. It's sad to know how people with real mental problems are treated. There are no beds, just uncomfortable dirty recliners. People are yelling and shouting all night long. No separate sleeping quarters, so good luck on getting any rest. The staff turns a blind eye to the abuse. The practitioners are fake as well as their nurses. This place is a complete waste of time. DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONES HERE!

I called the crisis line because, I m in crisis. They referred me to Community Bridges. I went in, was treated well, had a zoom call with a clinician to help me get my medication filled. Although my experience was very good . I am left hanging 6 hours after leaving there with a photocopy of a prescription , went straight to my pharmacy. Pharmacist called & left a message for someone to call him to verify the prescription. . That was at 8:30am. It s 3:15 and the pharmacist just called them again. How is this helping me while in crisis? Pharmacist said so times it takes a day or 2 for them to call back. This is completely unsatisfactory for those of us in a crisis situation.

One star is to much for this company. The management is micro management. They over work you and under pay you. Let's not forget how the rules change from day to day depending on who you talk too. You get in trouble for doing thr things that one manager tells you to do. The clinicians there can talk to you like you are stupid but you ar able to defend yourself. The favoritism is grossly noticeable. Now we were told not to use CPI holds until you get hit. When the patients are restless they love to give them shots. This is not a therapeutic place at all. They hire you to be body guards nothing more!

Picture yourself in a particularly stressful situation; it can be any stressful situation, ideally something that is long and difficult, made even more frustrating by additional circumstances or variables (say, you're high school and moving, an autistic person being punished for being autistic, or just someone who had a bad day and accidentally made the mistake of telling someone you needed help).The first part of the process are two things that have nothing to do with Community Bridges and, as expected, will be the nicest parts of this story. You call the suicide hotline and ask for help, to which some officers and eventually a crisis squad are sent, you're talked out of it and realize it was a very spur-of-the-moment thing. You go to bed still stressed, but cathartic, able to finally express what had you down.You wake up to a court order in the morning demanding you be sent here, specifically. That means a judge looked at this momentary lapse in judgment and determined you were not safe on your lonesome (or, in some cases, around other people you can trust) and Baker Act'd your rear all the way to Community Bridges.As soon as you arrive, you are almost strip-searched; that is to say you are given a change of clothes and told to change. Anything and everything you had on your person is taken from you. You were caught by Community Bridges hook line and sinker, and you will surely repent for daring to utter the phrase "suicide" within a mile of the prison you now find yourself in. In this small room with an officer and a random working Joe who has probably (at best) taken a high-school Psychology class before dropping out halfway through, you're told you'll be here for a few hours and should be able to meet (READ: talk over a phone or computer) with a mental health specialist within the hour."Okay, I can do that," you tell yourself, thinking that it's basically going to be a miniature vacation with some mental health benefits. Surely the system has some good things in store for you. After all, you were down on your luck yesterday and these people are trying to help you, so clearly things are uphill from h- Wrong.You take a in a hallway and step through a doorway. Through this doorway is a cramped room, filled with sixty or so well-worn, padded chairs that barely recline. At least half of the chairs are filled, some by eighteen year olds, some by the elderly, most in their 20s-40s and either sleeping, crying, yelling, or acting neurotically. Some of them have blankets but many do not. You ask the staff if you can have one, too, to which they say most of them are in the wash. There are people glaring at one another, occasionally filling the glorified holding cell with a blood-curdling scream, staring you in the eyes and grinning, or throwing fits. Some conversations with the tenants reveal that they've been here for weeks or months, being reassured they'll "eventually" be moved to a "long term care" room or facility.Here you realize you didn't get much sleep, and your lack of rest is setting in after the initial shock has died down. Three hours and you still haven't met with a specialist. Cutting your losses you find an empty seat and catch two hours' worth of sleep, woken up by a man offering you a styrofoam plate of what might be meatloaf/mashed potatoes, both off in color and cold. Four more hours go by, and you meet with a specialist over a small laptop. You explain you don't really know why you're here, to which even the specialist agrees; but this relief is short lived, as even when you're told you can go, you're still only allowed to leave when someone can pick you up. Three *more* hours pass (total of 14), and finally, a friend of yours rescues you from this cage.This was all framed as a story, but it's no more factual than the ground beneath you and I. Look at the other reviews from a month ago; my stay was years ago, and their quality of care clearly hasn't improved. Community Bridges is a sick disgrace of a mental hospital that dehumanizes their patients and provides inhumane treatment.

My loved one was sent here. It was absolute hell and a nightmare for him. I know the purpose of this place is to keep patients safe and is a mere holding spot till they find more permanent care, but this place was horrifying. He was not administered his medications that he needs to take daily, he was only given the option to meet with a telehealth provider for 3 minutes to discuss why he was there , there is community couch & recliners where they can rest. He had signed an ROI and I called to give the office his insurance and medication information, and they were very rude and said im sure he knows his own information and wouldnt help me. He said these couches/chairs were extremely dirty & smelly. The chairs had poop / white stains which we can all imagine what that is. The blanket he was given was clean but smelled like poop. The food was horrible and some with mold & the communication with the workers was not helpful. Thank god he only had to do one over night there and then was transferred. Even the paramedic that transferred him told him if he ever needs help again to try to do everything not to be placed there. While he was there, people were getting in fights and yelling all through the night. Again, I get this is more of a temporary holding place but for loved ones who are having mental health struggles, having them go here is like torture. We should have this place investigated. This place will make peoples mental conditions worsen and decline. My boyfriend willingly went here, he was not here against his will. So please understand he was looking / wanting help. This place is deplorable. I would give it 0 stars if I could. He was also signed up for state medicaid even though he has private insurance ( this is exactly why i called to give them his insurance information from the start) and when he was transferred facilities they gave them his new medicaid coverage. Luckily, i was able to catch that error before they started billing it incorrectly and they happened to be in network with his insurance. But we need to get our people better help. This place is a joke.

I went to this Place (CBI) in Mesa in hope to get some help . Not only did I go thru the whole intake process gave them a urine sample , searched , excessively waited to the two female staff finish their lunch but transportation finally came 2 and a half hours later. They dropped me off the one of the worse shelters in central phoenix, whom didn t have any beds (this should ve been confirmed before bringing me there) They were supposed to pick me up from the nearest train station to accommodate me . Not only did they lie and say they came but I had to sleep outside . The worse!

Lawrence Sawyer

I was treated like an animal. Caged up with 50+ other patients. Was told I could get help, there. What a joke, no help, just sat around for 5 days. Less than 2 minutes with a "mental health provider" who barely spoke English. Staff only payed attention to those who acted out. Witnessed multiple fighters. DO NOT GO HERE, THEY WILL MAKE MATTERS WORSE. I now need treatment for PTSD.

I went here expecting help with my anxiety attacks and depression and was not treated well. I was aggressively grabbed by the two bouncers/security staff and they threw me up in the air making my head go mere feet from striking the concrete floor. My grip tightened around theirs as I was in pure fear of them busting my skull wide open then one of the bouncers a black man with black shoulder length dreadlocks 6,1 230lbs ripped my fingers apart breaking my hand and 3 fingers. My 3 fingers are now permanently deformed and constantly getting in the way of each other I have difficulty using them. The hand surgeon said I would need k-wires and a screw and that I would have permanent pain and loss of strength. I do not recommend this place as they don't care for the patients safety And they never asked me if I needed medical attention. Dangerous place stay away !!!
