positive results using proven, tested and specific program steps and procedures,

which are most workable and successful based on their extensive experience in

treating substance and alcohol dependency, gambling, and other addictions. It

History

BH Drugs and Alcohol Rehabilitation Foundation Inc. is a center with its roots

traceable to a gathering of recovering individuals back in January of 2012 who

named the center that time as Bridges of Hope.

Bridges of Hope survived and progressed in its initial stages of sole

proprietorship and formulation until the appearance of Mr. Robert R. Ty on

January of 2014 who continued with new capital and a fresh perspective of
Center for Rehabilitation and Treatment for Drug and Alcohol Dependent Youths 93

management involving the center’s directors and staff in its core mission and

vision. The Original Bridges of Hope Center is now survived by one of its

founding partners, Mr. Enrique Vicente Zamora, who now heads the Quezon

City Branch under the same flagship name of BH Drugs and Alcohol

Rehabilitation Foundation Inc.

BH Drugs and Alcohol Rehabilitation Foundation Inc. is a center now headed

by its President Mr. Florencio C. Bernabe III along with its executive director

Robert R. Ty and his wife administrative directress Mary Catherine H. Ty. This

dynamic triumvirate of people wanted to incorporate sound and honest

administrative practices side by side with a practical but quality filled approach

for residents and families seeking help against substance abuse the result being

an efficient and economically attainable therapeutic program for families

wishing to have their loved ones grasp a better future simultaneously winning

the battle against drug and alcohol addiction without compromising privacy and

security.

Vision

Our vision is to be the program of choice for those seeking treatment for

alcoholism and drug dependency. We will continually develop a team whose

efforts are aimed at growth, sharper focus, and improved competency.

Mission

• To show men and women, along with their families, the way out of the
Center for Rehabilitation and Treatment for Drug and Alcohol Dependent Youths 94

debilitating and deadly cycle of alcoholism and drug addiction.

• To improve the quality of life for individuals with acquired and congenital

disabilities.

• To develop new methods of treatment through research and training.

• To provide the best in patient-centered rehabilitative care for our

community.

principle-centered lifestyle.

Objectives

In keeping with the existing vision the Center aims to maintain a competent pool

of experienced staff and volunteers willing to grow and practice unconditional

service and good role-model ship for their clientele.

The Center aims to provide a holistic approach in addressing quantitative

behaviorally challenged and substance abuse patients without compromising

the quality of its program.

The Center aims to maintain practicality of the program package and service

with the economy of its clientele in mind so that by principle it may also sustain

its combative views to contribute versus the substance abuse menace in society

at present.

The Center would like to provide a refuge for those seeking a long-term
Center for Rehabilitation and Treatment for Drug and Alcohol Dependent Youths 95

aftercare program that may accommodate lasting support group relationships

capable of identifying relapse traps and providing moral and therapeutic support

where it is needed whether it be during crisis or celebrative moments.

The Center would like to keep in its sights and traditions the belief in God as

the essence and center of its multi-modal approach to recovery without which

none of its programs whether they be that of the Therapeutic Community

standard or that of the twelve steps will remain effective and true to its objective

and purpose.
