Brighton Center for Recovery is proud to have a dedicated staff certified in chemical dependency. Brighton physicians and nurses work in multi-disciplinary teams alongside substance-abuse counselors/therapists to care for the physical needs of our patients.

We know that without follow-up treatment, the risk of relapse is high.  Research shows that people are less likely to fall back into patterns of abuse if they keep post-rehab appointments, attend addiction support groups, and obtain a sponsor for continued encouragement.

Our treatment programs help people achieve sobriety through abstinence. Our programs have always included a level of spiritual awareness.  As a part of any plan for successful recovery, we encourage each patient to find a personal spiritual connection.
