Bridge To Recovery Treatment Center

At BTR we often offer certain clients the opportunity to stay on as senior resident or in some cases as a staff member. Travis is one that we are very blessed to have offered a position and he chose to stay on with us. Travis will continue to not only help other men that come through the program but also work on himself and his new sober life. Please meet one of our new BTR family members Travis.

My name is Travis Apple. I was born in Pittsburgh but grew up in Atlanta. I’m one of three children to two amazing parents. My hobbies and passions throughout life mostly consist of sports and music. The best part of my days are times spent with my son. Enjoying movies, boardgames, and parks together are a few examples of those good times. Being a father has been the greatest blessing of my life. My background professionally has mostly been restaurant and retail management. Where I’ve not only been successful, but more importantly met many lifelong friends along the way.
My most recent blessing has been my stay here at the Bridge to Recovery. After completing the program in late April, I was lucky to be asked to stay on as a staff member. A huge part of making that decision was the atmosphere here at the Bridge. My stay here as a client was nothing but life changing. My spiritual and mental health has never been stronger, and I have the staff and counselors here to thank for that. My days now consist of interacting and helping people with the same struggles I went through. Day after day I try to make their stay here a little easier. The best part about my job is seeing the growth the clients make here in 30 days. I try to share with them the same experience, strength, and hope I learned during my stay here. Mentoring and seeing them come in broken at times, then turning their life’s around one day and one step at a time. This place has taught me nothing changes if nothing changes. If you or a loved one are looking for a place that’ll help you make that change, the Bridge is a good place to start. This place is special, and I’m truly blessed to be a small part of it.
