Bridgeway Behavioral Health, operated by Preferred Family Healthcare, serves as a comprehensive recovery center in Saint Louis, Missouri. Located on Dunnica Avenue, this treatment facility focuses on addressing substance abuse through specialized therapeutic approaches that engage adults, youth, and families in the recovery process together.
The center's treatment programming emphasizes Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Health Therapy, recognizing that many individuals entering recovery carry underlying trauma that requires specialized attention. This therapeutic method helps clients develop coping strategies while processing traumatic experiences that may contribute to substance use patterns. The approach supports both individual healing and family system recovery.
Under the leadership of President Michael Schwend, Bridgeway Behavioral Health operates with a philosophy that recovery extends beyond the individual to encompass family dynamics and community connections.

The center's multi-generational approach makes it particularly valuable for families where substance abuse affects multiple members or where youth require specialized intervention alongside adult family members seeking recovery support.
Trauma-Informed Addiction Treatment Approach
Bridgeway Behavioral Health specializes in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Health Therapy, addressing the complex relationship between traumatic experiences and substance abuse. This therapeutic method helps individuals understand how past trauma influences current behaviors while developing practical coping strategies for sustained recovery.
The trauma-informed approach recognizes that many people entering addiction treatment carry unresolved traumatic experiences that traditional substance abuse treatment may not adequately address. By integrating trauma processing with addiction recovery work, clients build stronger foundations for long-term sobriety and emotional wellness.
Family-Centered Recovery Services
The center's unique approach treats addiction as a family system issue, providing recovery services for adults, youth, and families together. This multi-generational model helps heal relationship dynamics that may contribute to or result from substance abuse patterns within families.

Parents, spouses, and children learn communication skills and boundary-setting techniques that support the recovery community within their own homes.
