12 Step Programs & Support Groups
Alcoholics Anonymous 12-step program has a long and successful history. This famous history of alcohol addiction treatment is also Brighton Hospital’s history. Bill Wilson, the co-founder of alcoholics anonymous, actually worked with Brighton Hospital’s founder, Harry Henderson in incorporating the 12-step program into Brighton Hospital from its start in 1950.

Brighton Hospital bases its many different types of addiction treatment programs on the original Alcoholics Anonymous 12-step approach. To familiarize patients with 12-step recovery programs, Brighton Hospital hosts regular 12-step and community meetings in or around Brighton, Michigan. These include Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Al-Anon (a support group for family members and friends of those addicted to alcohol) and Chit Chat (a support group for those close to a patient and dealing with the affects of addiction in their lives).
Recovery from drug and alcohol addiction is a life long process. We therefore encourage our patients to participate in appropriate 12-step programs following their discharge. We also suggest friends and family members attend the 12-step programs that are designed to offer support to those affected by a loved ones substance abuse. Research shows that continuing in 12-step programs after receiving treatment for addiction promotes a higher rate of success.
