Men’s & Women’s Residential Program

The Steelbridge Men’s and Women’s Residential Program is a year-long, faith-based recovery program designed to support individuals as they pursue healing, restoration, and lasting transformation in every area of life.

Through a structured three-phase model, residents engage in intensive recovery, spiritual growth, and personal development within a safe and supportive community. The program is built to address the whole person — mind, body, and spirit — while preparing individuals for long-term independence and reintegration.

The Steelbridge program consists of a year of faith-based intensive recovery and growth across all areas of life. Residents progress through four structured phases focused on sobriety, stability, accountability, and independence.
