Levels of Care
Outpatient
Some people may be better served by one of their outpatient programs. Through customized group counseling and educational sessions, they are able to focus on substance-abuse rehabilitation while the patient maintains employment and family life outside of the hospital setting. By participating in their outpatient services, people can not only receive the vital care they need, but also maintain their employment and family lives outside of the hospital setting. Brighton’s Outpatient Treatment Programs are viable and cost-effective alternatives for patients who do not require more intensive treatment for a drug or alcohol addiction.
Medically Assisted Detox
Detoxification (detox) is the process in which a patient’s body is safely withdrawn from the substance(s) to which it is addicted. When a person uses drugs or alcohol for a period of time, toxins build up in the body. These toxins can cause a range of health issues including death. Freeing the body of these toxins is often the first step in substance-abuse treatment at Brighton Center for Recovery. They have a first-rate medical detox unit that helps patients through withdrawal using effective techniques and medications.
Intensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Drug Treatment at Brighton Center for Recovery offers more support and guidance than traditional outpatient addiction counseling. Sessions are held three times a week and consist of three-hour group therapy and education sessions. To accommodate a wide range of schedules, Brighton provides day, afternoon, and evening rehabilitation sessions. In addition to the various outpatient rehabilitation options, patients are given the opportunity to attend many Brighton-sponsored family support programs, and related events.
Inpatient
When dealing with addiction, it is often necessary for a patient to receive 24-hour care in an inpatient setting. Inpatient treatment allows patients to be removed from their previous environments, away from any negative associations to drugs or alcohol, and allows them to avoid temptation and to focus on recovery. Patients who reside at their rehab facility receive round-the-clock care and support. At Brighton they have found that this positive atmosphere promotes a healthy transition to a clean and sober life.
Sober Living Homes
For any patient, returning home too soon can be detrimental to the success of recovery. By choosing a transitional housing option, patients are assured of a highly structured environment that can consolidate the gains made during drug or alcohol treatment. Such a stay is often the final step in successful treatment. Responding to the increasing need for a transitional, sober-living environment for women, they opened a 16-bed home on the Brighton campus. The Henderson Halfway House is a 16-bed facility located on the Brighton campus for men.
24-Hour Clinical Care
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
Intervention Services
Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.
Aftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn’t spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. Recovery does not happen in a few months. So Brighton programs include plans for year-long engagement after a patient leaves their facility. They work with substance-abuse rehabilitation centers in their home communities to create coordinated plans for aftercare. They schedule outpatient post-rehab care prior to discharging our patients.
Partial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Treatment
Alcoholism
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug Addiction
Drug rehab in Michigan provides personalized treatment to help individuals break this cycle and regain control of their lives. Treatment methods are used in various levels of care, including inpatient rehab, partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, and standard outpatient treatment.
Dual Diagnosis
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Mental Health and Substance Abuse
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid Addiction
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
Experiential Therapy
A new, active routine can reduce stress levels and keep the mind clear. This can include exercise, time outdoors, and fresh air. As a part of their commitment to effective care, Brighton has staff who are dedicated to recreation therapy. Healthy activity promotes a sense of normalcy and reduction of stress — both of which are important in starting and sustaining true recovery.
Family Therapy
Many family members are affected by a loved one’s drug or alcohol use. Therefore, effective treatment must include the family. Brighton makes this commitment as part of their basic programs. And they provide additional outpatient therapy sessions for families where needed. Brighton is committed to keeping the next generation of your family out of their facility. They know that effective efforts at prevention go beyond mere tutoring and childcare. So they include counseling for young people. This is most important for those who have watched a parent struggle with addiction.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Life Skills
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
Nutrition Therapy
Replacing harmful substances with a healthy diet is essential. This is because a healthy diet lessens the physical craving to return to drug or alcohol use. Therefore, Brighton broadly emphasizes good nutrition. They employ a staff dietitian who works with their patients on an individual basis. There is no need to have a diagnosis of nutritional deficiency or an eating disorder.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
