Addiction Resource Score
Scoring is assigned by a proprietary system which helps surface key metrics that determine quality. The 10-point scale factors in categories such as operations, customer satisfaction, and trust metrics.
We understand that choosing an addiction treatment center can be overwhelming, especially with so many options, promises, and marketing messages. That's why we've developed a clear, standardized rating system designed to cut through the noise and highlight what truly matters: safety, quality of care, and transparency. Our goal is to give individuals and families the information they need to make confident, informed decisions during a critical time.
In this guide, we explain exactly how we rate treatment centers—from accreditation and staff credentials to therapy options, facility environment, and family involvement. You'll see how we assign scores, award badges, and update listings to ensure accuracy and fairness. Most importantly, our system focuses on elevating centers that prioritize ethical, evidence-based care, not just those with the best marketing. This way, you can trust that the ratings you see reflect meaningful standards that help you find the right fit for lasting recovery.

Adults and seniors dealing with addiction and co-occurring mental health issues may get comprehensive outpatient therapy from The Bridge, a New York City-based organization. This program provides tailored care, collaborating closely with each client to develop a well-organized strategy that addresses their unique requirements. The Bridge provides a range of therapy choices, including drug addiction recovery and mental health treatment, via a committed and caring staff, all based in a recovery-focused, encouraging setting.
Their method of treating drug abuse has a strong emphasis on harm reduction, promoting individual development, independence, and a more seamless transition back into society. Clients are given the opportunity to experiment with healthy coping strategies and self-expression by fusing standard therapy with expressive therapies like gardening and the arts. Professional staff members also provide one-on-one counseling to clients, encouraging the development of life skills and practical methods for overcoming mental health obstacles.
In order to provide people secure surroundings that aid in their rehabilitation, The Bridge also offers supportive housing choices. Initially designed to provide social assistance to persons returning to the community after mental health treatment, The Bridge was founded in 1954 by former long-term inmates of a psychiatric institution. With more than 60 programs spread around the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Manhattan, this organization has expanded to become a $101.5 million institution that serves over 4,000 people annually.
The most disadvantaged populations in New York City are the focus of this organization, which makes sure that all customers get assistance regardless of their financial situation. The Bridge’s comprehensive approach tackles the effects of trauma and prejudice, assisting clients in continuing on their own journeys while pursuing its purpose of providing a route toward healing, rehabilitation, and independence.
The Bridge’s dedication to providing high-quality behavioral health and addiction therapies is shown by its SAMHSA accreditations and New York State License.
