Ascension Brighton Center for Recovery

Comprehensive Addiction Treatment at Ascension Brighton Center for Recovery For more than 60 years, Ascension Brighton Center for Recovery has been a trusted leader in substance use treatment across the nation. The center offers personalized and comprehensive programs that include detoxification, residential care, outpatient services, and ongoing aftercare. In addition to treatment for individuals, Brighton provides addiction education for families and prevention programs designed to support children affected by substance misuse. Continuum of Care Brighton provides a complete range of services for adults struggling with substance use disorders. Their detox program offers 24-hour medical supervision by licensed nurses and professionals, combined with medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in a safe and supportive setting. Along with managing the physical symptoms of withdrawal, the program includes addiction counseling and 12-step approaches to begin the recovery process. The inpatient program supports adults who need a structured environment to achieve sobriety. Experienced clinical staff carefully assess each client’s medical, psychiatric, and substance use history to develop a personalized treatment plan. Residential care focuses on a combination of group and individual therapy, recreational activities, addiction education, and counseling to support long-term recovery. Specialized Outpatient Programs In addition to residential services, Brighton offers several outpatient options with varying levels of care. The intensive outpatient program (IOP) meets three times per week for three-hour sessions that include group therapy and addiction education. Flexible scheduling allows clients to attend daytime, afternoon, or evening sessions. A specialized women’s program provides a supportive space where women can explore challenges unique to their experiences with addiction. Through group therapy, participants address topics such as past trauma, healthy boundaries, relationship building, emotional regulation, recovery skills, and 12-step principles. The early recovery program supports individuals who have progressed through inpatient treatment and are transitioning back into daily life while continuing therapy through outpatient care. Brighton also offers specialized treatment designed specifically for healthcare professionals. This program addresses the stress, trauma, and professional pressures that can contribute to substance misuse among physicians, nurses, first responders, and other healthcare workers. Clients receive confidential, personalized treatment from addiction specialists who understand the unique demands of these professions. Ongoing Recovery Support Brighton emphasizes long-term recovery by providing extensive aftercare and lifelong support services. Staff help clients connect with community-based resources and recovery programs after completing treatment. The campus also offers transitional sober living homes for men and women. This 16-bed facility provides a structured and supportive environment where residents can continue outpatient treatment while developing independence through counseling, volunteer work, and job-skills training. The center also hosts “Tune Up” alumni events three times each year. These gatherings celebrate recovery milestones with coin ceremonies, motivational speakers, and opportunities for alumni to reconnect with peers, participate in activities, and encourage one another in maintaining sobriety.

Prevention and Family Programs Brighton offers prevention services for children and adolescents ages 7 to 12. These programs provide specialized education along with individual and group therapy for children who have a parent or loved one struggling with substance use. Educational and support programs are also available for family members and loved ones. These services encourage families to learn more about addiction and actively participate in the recovery journey. Through lectures, discussion groups, and individual sessions, families can address concerns, build stronger support systems, and play a meaningful role in their loved one’s healing process.
