About Howard Center Act One/Bridge Program
The Bridge Program is staffed 24 hours a day. Treatment goals are individualized. Related services may be coordinated with the University of Vermont Medical Center Emergency Department and through referrals to other Howard Center services.
Bridge offers medical oversight, coordination of case management services for injection drug users, clinical assessments, and referrals for individuals needing more intensive treatment. Continuing care plans are developed with each client, and ongoing support after discharge is available through free, daily community support groups.
Clients are referred by the court system, primary care providers, friends, family, clergy, or a concerned community member, and by self-referral.
