Because of the expertise and commitment in the field of heroin detox and treatment, Dr. Hopper and his staff are mending lives.  Our multidisciplinary team of detoxification experts know that an addiction to heroin or other chemical dependency is a disease – not a weakness.  We pledge to treat every patient with compassion, dignity and clinical excellence, because this is how you deserve to be treated.  We know this because many of our heroin treatment experts are also in drug or alcohol addiction recovery, or are adult children of alcoholics.  Approximately one-half of Brighton’s employees came to us first for drug and alcohol detox and rehabilitation, before joining our staff.

Every Brighton Hospital addiction treatment expert receives annual service excellence training.  This is reflected by patient satisfaction scores exceeding 90 percent.  Plus, having established America’s first Fellowship in Addiction Medicine in a clinical setting, we lead the nation in the medical education for detoxification and rehab treatment specialists. In addition, we help expand the understanding and knowledge of detox and treatment through regular rotations of nursing, medical and social work students.  These are some of our unique advantages in guiding our patients to recovery.  Welcome to hope.  Welcome to the detox experts at Brighton Hospital.
