Welcome to Brighton Hospital!

Drug and alcohol rehab and recovery - It's what we do every day at the Brighton Hospital, a world renowned alcohol and drug rehabilitation centre in Brighton, Michigan. Our multidisciplinary team of addiction recovery experts know that chemical dependency is a disease - not a weakness. We know that drug and alcohol recovery is possible based on the thousands of patients we've helped since 1950.

Who Can We Treat?
Brighton Hospital is a freestanding substance abuse/alcoholism treatment centre and treats those who are:

• Age 18 and older for inpatient care, outpatient care, and substance recovery halfway house care
• Age 13 to 17 for adolescent/teen intensive outpatient care
• Have a primary diagnosis or history of substance abuse/dependence/addiction
• Are medically and psychiatrically stable

All patient care is individualized and includes input from physicians, nurses, chemical dependency counselors and recovery case managers. The addiction treatment team meets regularly to monitor each patient's progress through the program, and treatment at all levels of care includes medication, monitoring, and disease education. We believe mending a life means treating the whole person: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

What Addictions Can We Treat?
We’re experts in the treatment of the following addictions:

alcohol, stimulants (cocaine, crank, methamphetamines, ecstasy, MDMA, amphetamines, crystal meth, speed), opiates and other depressants (heroin, Oxycontin®, barbiturates, GHB, prescription pain killers), benzodiazepines (Valium®, Xanax®, Klonopin®, clonazepam), other prescription drugs, ketamine, and marijuana.

Many people suffer from addiction to two or more substances simultaneously - dual addiction or dual diagnosis. Our skilled addiction treatment staff are trained and experienced at handling these more complex addictions. We also address other behaviors that may complicate addiction recovery, including compulsive gambling, eating disorders, codependency and compulsive sexual behaviors.

The type of substance abuse treatment a patient receives depends on many factors, including what substance or substances the person is using, the amount and frequency of use, prior addiction treatment history and motivation to change. All levels of care prepare patients to return to their previous environment with new skills to help maintain sobriety, prevent relapse and continue recovery.

Length of Stay Necessary?

Patients are admitted using criteria set by the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM). Our inpatient substance abuse treatment programs accommodate stays up to 30 days and include a rich variety of domiciliary partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, halfway house and other aftercare programs. Research has shown that longer lengths of stay contribute to favorable outcomes.

Length of stay is determined by medical necessity criteria set forth by insurers along with patient addiction treatment progress and motivation. We encourage prospective patients to contact their insurers so they understand their substance abuse treatment benefits. Each patient's length of stay is planned, based on where they are, and where they need to be in the recovery process.
