The Bridge House/Grace House in New Orleans, Louisiana, has a wonderful mission. Simply stated, it is to help rebuild with dignity, honesty, and respect the lives of men and women, in order to help those who have literally lost everything. Kevin Gardere discusses that mission and the challenges, as well as opportunities, that treatment centers encounter. Kevin has been with Bridge House/Grace House since 2002 and is presently the CEO. He is also in long-term recovery. Kevin and Bridge House/Grace House can be reached at https://www.bridgehouse.org/treatment/
