Founded by Derek Eckley in 2022, Bridges Recovery provides a safe and supportive residence for men recovering from drug and alcohol addiction in Los Angeles. Drawing from Derek’s personal experience with addiction and recovery, the facility emphasizes structured living, one-on-one mentoring, and guidance in rebuilding life skills and employment. Comfortable Spaces Supporting Daily Recovery Residents enjoy fully furnished private and shared rooms, a kitchen with appliances, and common areas designed for connection and accountability. On-site resources include 12-step meetings, family support services, meditation, yoga, fitness activities, and structured daily routines. Medication monitoring is included, with reminders and, when necessary, direct administration to ensure consistency and reduce the risk of missed doses. Preparing Residents For Independent Living The program encourages gradual re-entry into daily life, including education and financial management. Residents receive hands-on support with resume building, cover letter writing, job searching, interview skills, and workplace readiness workshops that cover time management, communication, and professional conduct. Stays range from 3 to 12 months based on individual progress, with a strong focus on accountability.
