Our House

OUR HISTORY

For almost 70 years, Valley/Bridge House, Inc. has held out the hand of hope to individuals who have sought recovery from alcoholism and substance abuse. It remains dedicated to the care, treatment and rehabilitation of the suffering addicted person, no matter what substance they are addicted to.

Valley House was founded in 1955 as a non-profit to aid and assist those destitute chronic alcoholics being released from jails and hospitals. The intent was to arrest alcoholism through the use of the principles of sober living, counseling, and rehabilitation.  Its sister house, Bridge House, was founded in 1972 to accommodate the increasing requests for services for addiction to drugs and chemical dependence.
