Your Questions,
Answered

The Bridge partners with a third-party insurance coverage expert to help you get full or partial reimbursement from your insurance provider. We can help you maximize the coverage your plan allows — though coverage cannot be guaranteed under every plan.

Navigating insurance for chronic health conditions requires specialized knowledge. Our third-party insurance advocate handles this on your behalf and is compensated from the coverage they secure. In most cases, guests receive more coverage than they could obtain on their own. You are also welcome to navigate your own coverage, and we'll support you every step of the way.

The Bridge is a partner with Care Credit. For qualified applicants, Care Credit offers six-month financing and a range of other payment options to help make the program accessible.

The best first step is to call our intake specialist at 435-357-9609. We'll review your situation, walk you through the insurance verification process, and give you an honest picture of what coverage may look like for your specific plan — at no cost to you.

We are committed to making our program accessible to as many people as possible. Let us do the work of finding the best path forward for you.

The Bridge is a 21-day intensive whole-person program with full accommodations in the sunny, peaceful desert just outside St. George, Utah. All meals, housing, therapies, and activities are included.

We limit each session to a maximum of 18 guests to ensure every person receives individualized attention and one-on-one care. Our program is overseen by an experienced team of physicians, therapists, counselors, physical therapists, fitness trainers, and holistic healers — all working together on your behalf.

Many of our guests make more progress in 21 days at The Bridge than they have in years of outpatient care.

Yes. Healing is possible. Over the past 21 years, we've helped more than 3,500 guests make meaningful progress toward health recovery — including many who had tried everything else without success.

For people who've struggled to make progress through traditional clinical approaches, our whole-mind-and-body method has made all the difference. While individual results vary, virtually every guest leaves with positive, lasting results.

All guests receive a physician consultation and are offered a wide range of clinical support throughout their 21-day stay:

• Physical evaluation
• Clinical psychology
• Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT)
• Personal relationship training
• Pain management training
• Medication and prescription management
• Massage therapy
• Physical therapy
• Personal fitness training
• Life coaching & planning
• Nutrition education
• Acupuncture

Guests enjoy a rich variety of holistic healing activities designed to revitalize the mind, body, and spirit:

• Mind-body workshops
• Yoga & meditation
• Equine therapy
• Art & music therapy
• Native American holistic therapy
• Wilderness hiking in the red rock desert
• Foot zoning
• Rapid eye therapy
• Desert meditation exercises
• Silversmithing & creative healing arts
• Sound healing & breathwork

Dr. Brooks is on site between one and two days per session, providing both in-person and virtual workshops. Our full clinical and wellness staff manages all day-to-day care and programming for the entire duration of your stay.

Call us at 435-357-9609 or fill out the form on our admissions page. One of our guest coordinators will speak with you to learn about your situation and determine whether you're a good fit for the program.

Once you're cleared, a deposit secures your reservation. From there, we'll guide you through every step to prepare for your session dates and make sure all your questions are answered.

As you complete the application process, one of our clinical professionals will contact you and help determine if the program is the right fit. If you are ambulatory, continent, and have no history of harm to yourself or others, you will likely be accepted.

Please don't self-screen out. Call us and let us have an honest conversation about your situation — we've helped many guests who initially thought they wouldn't qualify.

Absolutely. The Bridge warmly welcomes all guests who rely on a service animal. We will happily accommodate both of you — just let us know when you apply so we can prepare accordingly.

The Bridge helps people with persistent chronic conditions that have not been fully resolved through traditional medical care — especially conditions that affect the whole mind and body. Our team has 21+ years of experience treating:

• Chronic depression
• Anxiety & stress
• Fibromyalgia
• Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS/ME)
• CRPS / RSD
• Chronic pain
• Lupus & autoimmune conditions
• Panic disorders
• Chronic illness
• Adult-onset diabetes
• Adult & childhood trauma / PTSD
• Mood disorders
• Personality disorders

Many guests arrive with multiple overlapping conditions — our whole-person approach is designed for exactly that complexity. See our full conditions page �

Yes — and in fact, most guests arrive with several overlapping conditions. Chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and trauma are deeply interconnected; each one affects and amplifies the others. Our integrative approach addresses the full picture at once rather than treating each condition in isolation.

This is one of the core strengths of the 21-day intensive format — we have the time and the team to do the deep work across all dimensions of your health.

Our schedule is structured and gentle at the same time. You are expected to attend your appointments and classes — even if that means resting or lying down on more difficult days. As you gain strength and your nervous system begins to settle, you'll find you can do more.

Our team closely monitors each guest and adjusts the pace as needed. You will always be guided to listen to your body and know when to push gently and when to rest.

All guests enjoy full accommodations throughout their 21-day stay, including:

• Private room and en-suite bathroom
• Nutrient-dense breakfast options and prepared lunch & dinner daily
• Comfortable common areas for relaxation and connection
• Plenty of open outdoor space
• Scenic desert trails and mountain views
• Swimming pool and hot tub

Views of the St. George desert and surrounding mountains are a constant backdrop to your experience.

No. A private room with a private bathroom is standard for every guest. Your space is your own throughout the entire 21 days.

Yes. You can arrange your own accommodations anywhere in the St. George area, provided you can arrive on time each morning. If you choose to stay off-site, you are responsible for your own transportation to and from the facility.

Please speak with our admissions team for details on this option and what it involves.

Most guests choose one of two travel options:

Option 1 — Fly direct to St. George (SGU): St. George Regional Airport has limited service but is just 20 minutes from our facility. We'll pick you up at the airport for check-in.

Option 2 — Fly to Las Vegas (LAS): Las Vegas is approximately 90 minutes away. Take the hourly St. George shuttle (about 2.5 hours door to door) and we'll meet you at the shuttle stop.

Here's a suggested packing list for your 21-day stay:

• Insurance ID cards
• All medications and vitamins for 3 weeks (request a 21-day supply from your physician before arrival)
• Comfortable walking and workout shoes
• Workout clothes & swimsuit
• Jacket, sweats, and layers for cool desert evenings
• Casual everyday clothing
• Water shoes (for pool activities)
• Sun protection — sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat
• Journal and pens
• Books you've been meaning to read
• Photos of family and friends
• Camera
• Personal toiletry items (soap and towels are provided)
• Service animal supplies if applicable

Yes — bring all of your medications for the full 21-day stay. Our goal is to help you feel better. As you improve, our physicians will work with you on managing, reducing, or adjusting your medications in a safe and responsible way.

We have 24-hour on-call staffing throughout your stay. Our team is trained in basic first aid and CPR and is available around the clock.

Note: If you require skilled nursing care or assistance with personal hygiene, The Bridge is best suited for guests who are self-sufficient in those areas, or who are approaching that level of independence as they recover.
