About

About New Bridge Foundation Inc Helios

New Bridge Foundation Inc Helios is a CARF-accredited residential addiction treatment facility located at 2323 Hearst Avenue in Berkeley, California, serving residents throughout Alameda County and Northern California. The center treats alcohol addiction, drug addiction, opioid addiction, heroin addiction, meth addiction, painkiller addiction, prescription drug addiction, and co-occurring disorders including PTSD — making it one of the more clinically broad programs in the East Bay.

The facility provides two core levels of care: medical detox and residential treatment. For individuals in active withdrawal or physical dependence, medical detox is available on-site, allowing patients to transition directly into residential treatment without leaving the program. This continuum of care under one roof is a meaningful practical advantage for those facing opioid, heroin, or stimulant dependence who need structured withdrawal management before engaging in longer-term treatment.

Clinical services at Helios include Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), individual counseling, group counseling, family counseling, trauma-informed care, and relapse prevention programming. The facility also maintains a home-like atmosphere on-site, and all services are delivered in English. The dual diagnosis capability means individuals managing both a substance use disorder and a co-occurring condition such as PTSD receive integrated treatment within the same program.

New Bridge Foundation Inc Helios serves men, women, veterans, military personnel, first responders, LGBTQ individuals, court-ordered clients, and people who are deaf or hard of hearing — a notably broad range of populations compared to many single-focus residential programs. The facility accepts Medicaid and state insurance in addition to self-pay, lowering financial barriers for Northern California residents who need medically supervised detox and residential care.

  • On-site medical detox that feeds directly into residential treatment — no transfer required for those needing withdrawal management before rehab
  • CARF-accredited program treating a wide spectrum of conditions including opioid addiction, heroin addiction, meth addiction, painkiller addiction, and co-occurring PTSD
  • Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) integrated within residential programming for eligible patients
  • Accepts Medicaid and state insurance, making medically supervised detox accessible to lower-income Northern California residents
  • Serves specialized populations including veterans, first responders, LGBTQ individuals, and deaf or hard of hearing clients within the same residential program

Medical Detox in Berkeley, CA: On-Site Withdrawal Management

New Bridge Foundation Inc Helios provides medical detox as a primary level of care at its Berkeley facility. For individuals physically dependent on opioids, heroin, painkillers, prescription drugs, methamphetamine, or alcohol, medically supervised detox is the critical first step — and having it available on-site at the same residential campus means patients are not discharged or transferred during the most vulnerable phase of their recovery.

The facility's detox program is state-certified through California's substance abuse licensing framework and CARF-accredited, indicators that its withdrawal management protocols meet independently reviewed clinical standards. Medication Assisted Treatment is available within the program, supporting patients through the physiological process of detox with FDA-approved medications where appropriate.

Residential Treatment Following Detox: A Continuum of Care

After completing medical detox, patients at New Bridge Foundation Inc Helios can step directly into residential treatment at the same Berkeley location. This continuity matters clinically — abrupt transitions between facilities during early recovery carry real risk of dropout and relapse. Residential treatment at Helios incorporates CBT, individual and group counseling, family counseling, trauma-informed care, and relapse prevention, addressing the behavioral and psychological dimensions of addiction that detox alone cannot resolve.

The residential program also integrates dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring conditions including PTSD, recognizing that untreated mental health conditions are among the leading drivers of relapse. The home-like atmosphere of the facility is designed to support sustained engagement in this longer-term phase of treatment.

Who New Bridge Foundation Helios Serves

The facility in Berkeley serves a wide range of adults across Northern California, with specific programming accommodations for veterans, active military, first responders, LGBTQ individuals, court-ordered clients, and deaf or hard of hearing individuals. This breadth of population focus is uncommon in a single residential detox and treatment program and reflects the facility's capacity to address varied clinical and social needs within one setting.

New Bridge Foundation Inc Helios accepts Medicaid and state insurance as well as self-pay, which significantly expands access to inpatient detox and residential treatment for individuals who might otherwise face financial barriers. Prospective patients and families in Berkeley and throughout Alameda County can reach the facility at (866) 772-8491 to discuss admission.

Accreditation, Certifications, and Payment

New Bridge Foundation Inc Helios holds CARF accreditation and a state substance abuse certification, both of which signal that the facility's detox and residential treatment programs have been reviewed against defined operational and clinical standards. CARF accreditation in particular requires facilities to demonstrate measurable outcomes and ongoing quality improvement — relevant context for families making urgent placement decisions.

On the financial side, the program accepts Medicaid, state insurance, and self-pay. For individuals in Northern California who are uninsured or on public coverage, this payment mix makes medically supervised inpatient detox a realistic option rather than an unattainable one. The facility operates seven days a week, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, for intake inquiries and admissions support.
