About
Bridgeway, which was founded in 1973 to provide community support for those being released from state institutions, is one of Greater Cleveland's oldest and largest providers of mental health services.
Each year, Bridgeway serves more than 4,000 people in our community — 80% of whom fall below the poverty line.
Bridgeway provides a comprehensive network of care for those struggling with mental illness and/or substance addictions. Bridgeway provides evidence-based best practice services for the most severely mentally disabled with services ranging from crisis management, intensive CPST services, supported independent living to counseling, peer support, employment and substance abuse treatment.
Bridgeway also reaches out to hundreds of at-risk children and families through counseling, prevention services, family services, and after-school programs.
In 2006, the Board and leadership of Bridgeway made a decision to embrace the implementation of evidence-based best practice models of treatment to include Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment and Illness Management and Recovery.
