About Bridgeway Recovery Services Medically Managed Withdrawal Program
Bridgeway Recovery Services in Salem, Oregon is a community health nonprofit that integrates substance use treatment with mental health, primary care, and problem gambling services. The Medically Managed Withdrawal Program — Bridgeway’s detox unit — operates from 3321 Harold Drive and functions as the medical entry point for adults beginning treatment for alcohol or drug withdrawal in the Salem area.
Detox at Bridgeway is the first step in a broader continuum. After medically managed withdrawal, patients can transition into residential substance use treatment, outpatient counseling, DUII (driving under the influence of intoxicants) education, problem gambling treatment, mental health counseling, or primary medical care — all available within the same organization. The website describes this approach as ‘community health,’ a deliberate alternative to the more common pattern of detoxing patients into a referral void.
Bridgeway treats substance use disorder, co-occurring mental health conditions, and problem gambling, and lists Adolescent Substance Use among its outpatient program areas. The organization also operates DUII outpatient services and corrections outpatient groups, working with patients referred through the criminal justice system. Bridgeway’s published philosophy is that individuals should be treated holistically — addiction recovery alongside mental health support, ongoing primary care, and the social supports (transportation, job assistance, mentoring) that help people maintain stability after treatment.
The Medically Managed Withdrawal Program has a dedicated phone line at (503) 399-5597. Bridgeway’s main administrative line is (503) 363-2021. The administrative office is at 797 Winter Street NE in downtown Salem; the detox site is at 3321 Harold Drive in north Salem.
