ABOUT BRIDGES
ABOUT US
Bridges APG was founded in 2020. We are the only dedicated youth addiction support program of its kind inSeattle, King County & Washington State.
At Bridges, recovery isn’t just about avoiding substances; it’s about finding friends who inspire growth, laughter, and a whole lot of positivity along the way.
With great courage, integrity, and love — our core values are at the heart of everything we do. We embrace our responsibility to co-create a safe environment for adolescents, young adults, and their families to come together and experience life changing adventures. All of our Core Values are rooted in helping individuals change, grow, and commit to continuous improvement.
WHAT IS APG?
Alternative Peer Groups (APG) are a nationally recognized model of care, rooted in the belief that peer connection is essential to long-term recovery. We provide a safe, sober space where high school aged youth and their families come together after school, over holiday breaks and summer vacation for support groups, social activities, recovery coaching, and mentorship.
