Bridge to Recovery

What Bridge to Recovery does

Bridge to Recovery is a private, family-owned outpatient behavioral health practice founded in 2006 by Kostas Matheos in Jackson, Mississippi. The practice provides treatment for adults struggling with substance abuse, eating disorders, sex addiction, trauma, and other emotional health issues, delivered through a core Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) supplemented by individual therapy, family therapy, specialized assessments, aftercare groups, and evidence-based modalities including EMDR, DBT, CBT, and art therapy. The clinical team consists of approximately 14 listed staff including licensed counselors, a board-certified psychiatrist, a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner, and a registered dietitian, supported by office management personnel.

The practice holds Joint Commission Accreditation, the leading national quality standard for behavioral health providers, which supports its referral relationships with Mississippi professional monitoring boards (Nursing Board, Lawyers & Judges Assistance Program, Physicians Board) and first responder programs. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service outpatient therapy sessions billed to individuals and, where applicable, to professional licensing boards covering treatment costs for referred professionals. The go-to-market motion combines phone-based intake, referral partnerships, organic social media presence (Instagram, Facebook), and content marketing through the "Sober Talk" blog. Several clinicians hold BC-TMH (Board Certified TeleMental Health Provider) certifications, enabling remote service delivery to clients outside Mississippi. The business operates without external investment, proprietary technology platforms, or disclosed financial metrics.
