Hospital Volunteers: Support Brighton Through Volunteer Work
Volunteering is a wonderful way to support the addiction recovery process. At Brighton Center for Recovery, we have many individuals who donate their time to volunteer and help our patients that are in drug and alcohol addiction recovery. Our hospital volunteer work program focuses on giving back to families and patients who have lost so much due to the pain and stress that drug and alcohol addiction causes. Volunteers generously contribute their time to make Brighton Center for Recovery a center of hope, healing and strength. They help motivate our patients every day and offer encouragement throughout the course of their stay at Brighton Center for Recovery. We appreciate each and every one of our volunteers and know that they are a significant part of new beginnings for many families.

Volunteer Voices
“I knew I wanted to work at Brighton and volunteering was the first step. I worked in admissions, coffee cart, family retreat, reading to patients — wherever they needed me. I’m hoping next to move into the position of milieu tech, which is to be a liaison between patients and the nursing staff” says Jennifer Cervi, who is part of Brighton’s Volunteer Re-Entry Program. This systemic progressive volunteer work builds trust, belief and empowerment into the lives of participants and fosters community commitment and individual responsibility within the hospital volunteers program.
