At Brighton Center for Recovery, we offer a range of programs that can be best suited to the needs of each individual patient.  Our programs include a 30-day residential drug treatment as well as an outpatient program with our superiordomiciliary partial hospitalization.  We primarily serve patients from the Midwest region, but also see individuals from all over the U.S. as well as Canada and other countries.  We offer drug detox and rehab treatmentfor drug and/or alcohol abuse as well as addiction counseling for inpatients and outpatients.  Brighton Center for Recovery also offers continued support for those in early recovery as well as that have been working longer for a lifetime of sobriety.

At Brighton Center for Recovery, we understand that drug abuse and alcoholism do not discriminate based on age, race, gender, occupation or mental health status.  Therefore we offer a range of programs suited to the unique needs of many different demographics.  We have programs designed for all ages including  teens and adolescents, health professionals,  men’s andwomen’s halfway houses.  We also offer a Family and Friends Program since the reaches of addiction stem far past the individual abusing the drugs and alcohol.  We know that their loved ones suffer as well and this program helps to facilitate a strong support system for both the addict and their family.

All drug and alcohol rehab plans are customized for each individual and may include a 12-step program, drug and alcohol counseling and after-care follow -up.  In addition to our customized treatment plans, we offer an array of concierge and special language services covering Arabic, French, Spanish, and other European, Asian and African languages as well as assistance for the hearing impaired (ASL).

Drug and alcohol addiction is a disease.  At Brighton Center for Recovery, we strive to cure this disease every day and continue to develop effective programs, resources, events, activities and processes to help our patients live a clean and sober lifestyle forever.  We pledge to treat every patient with compassion, dignity and clinical excellence.  That has been the Brighton Center for Recovery way for 60 years.
