Continuum of Care

Brighton offers a full range of care for adults experiencing substance abuse disorders. Their detox program combines round-the-clock care with licensed and professional nursing staff with medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in a nurturing and comfortable environment. In addition to addressing the physical discomfort of withdrawal, Brighton offers specialized addiction counseling and 12-step modalities as part of the detox process.

Inpatient treatment at Brighton offers support and individualized treatment to adults who are struggling to achieve sobriety in their everyday environments. Experienced and credentialed staff review medical, psychiatric, and substance abuse history to tailor a treatment program and level of care that best suits the individual. Residential treatment focuses on group and individual therapy, recreational therapies, and addiction education and counseling.

Specialized Outpatient Programming

In addition to residential care, Brighton offers outpatient programs that vary in levels of care and specialties. Their intensive outpatient program (IOP) meets 3 times a week for 3 hours per day of group therapy and addiction education. Their program offers flexibility with daytime, afternoon, and evening rehabilitation sessions.

A specialized women’s program brings peers together to address the unique challenges faced by women experiencing addiction. A group therapy setting addresses topics such as the impact of past trauma, boundary setting, relationship building, processing and regulating difficult emotions, goal setting and intentions, recovery skills, and 12-step philosophies.

An early recovery program offers support designed for clients who have made significant progress through their inpatient treatment, and helps patients reintegrate into their daily lives while continuing treatment on an individual outpatient basis.

Specialized treatment is available specifically for healthcare professionals, offering professional treatment from addiction specialists with personal experience and expertise. This program addresses the stress and trauma experienced by healthcare professionals that can lead to substance abuse, and provides innovative and personalized addiction treatment for physicians, nurses, first responders, and more.

On-campus aftercare is also available with transitional sober living homes for men and women. Brighton has a 16-bed facility for both men and women that provides a safe, comfortable, and structured sober environment that allows clients continued access to outpatient treatment while they gradually gain greater independence through counseling, volunteer opportunities, and job-skills training.

Their ‘Tune Up’ events celebrate alumni’s and their continuing sobriety and provide clients with long-term support . Tune Up events take place 3 times per year and recognize milestones with coining ceremonies and an opportunity to connect with peers, listen to inspirational speakers, play games, and encourage others in long-term sobriety.

Prevention Services

Prevention services are available for children and adolescents ages 7-12. The children’s program at Brighton provides specialized education and individual and group therapy tailored to children who have a parent or loved one experiencing a substance abuse disorder.

Similar programs are also available for family members and loved ones, prompting family members to educate themselves on addiction and get involved with their loved one’s recovery. Friends and family join clients in treatment in special lectures, discussion groups, and 1-on-1 sessions to address concerns and strengthen support systems.

The food at Brighton is so much better than it used to be. They have a Chef in the kitchen and homemade soups everyday. The staff is excellent and make you feel welcome and like my needs mattered to them. I loved the art and music therapy as well as the yoga! I would recommend Brighton to anyone as a great place to start the recovery journey.

Don’t waste your time, money or hope. They push meds on EVERYONE, offer no real recovery plan, & don’t prepare you for life sober. It’s all sedation, bandaid & $$$$$$. Their “holistic” approach is a joke—they want you to fail, return & repeat.

Except for staff argument that leaving AMA would lead to failure, the treatment I received did secure my long-term recovery. If the therapist who said that could see me now, I'm clean and healthy and very happy today.
