About Brighton Center for Recovery

Medical Staff Biographies

Behind any great organization are the people that run it.  At Brighton Center for Recovery, we pride ourselves in having a caring and compassionate staff who are proven experts in the field of addiction medicine.  Since 1950, we have been leaders in the field of substance abuse treatment and this is largely due to our doctors, nurses, therapists and counselors.  They are committed to providing high-quality drug and alcohol rehabilitation care using a compassionate and patient-centered approach.  The dedication that our staff demonstrates on a daily basis is one of the many reasons that people choose to come to Brighton Center for Recovery for their addiction treatment over other highly regarded facilities.

One advantage that we feel we have at Brighton Center for Recovery is the experience that our drug and alcohol rehab doctors and substance abuse counselors bring to the job.  They have committed their lives to the lifelong treatment of addiction and recovery.  Due to the fact that many of them are also recovering addicts themselves, they know firsthand the devastation that drug and alcohol abuse can cause.  They understand that this disease does not discriminate.  “I’ve been there, I can relate” said Dr. Menestrina, Former Director of Brighton’s Detox Center.  “I know how hard the recovery process is, but I also know that the act of reaching out to others helps keep me sober.  And I know only too well that part of the recovery process is making amends for all the things I did.  By working here, I try to make amends.  Working in this field, for me, is the greatest blessing.”
