About BriteLife Recovery
BriteLife Recovery is in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. They have detox services, and they treat substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health issues. They have a men’s residential treatment program at the Hilton Head Island location. The women’s residential treatment house is only a few minutes away in Bluffton. They accept insurance from most of the major providers.
BriteLife is a Joint Commission Accredited facility. They use the CCISC model of care (comprehensive, continuous, integrated). Through this model, they treat both substance use and co-occurring disorders in an integrated and continuous fashion through accessible and welcoming care that includes the family where appropriate. They use small, intimate settings and medical treatments custom-tailored to each person.
They also use a gender-specific curriculum because men and women have widely varying experiences. They use a trauma-informed approach since substance use is often a response to past trauma and its significant effects on emotional, neurological, cognitive, and developmental processes. They also have intervention services if you’re trying to help a loved one acknowledge his/her addiction and get them into treatment.
The detox services are inpatient. Whether you’re addicted to alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, or stimulants, they’ll monitor your detox around the clock. They’ll help you safely detox and then once you’re stabilized, you can begin a residential program. Alcohol detox usually takes between seven and 10 days while opioid detox is about five to seven days, though every individual is different.
The men’s and women’s residential programs offer semi-private rooms. You’ll have access to a pool. You’ll get intensive therapy while in the program. Some of the therapies include one-on-one counseling and group therapy. There’s also cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-informed therapy. They encourage families to take part in counseling sessions since addiction affects the entire family.
The programs get high praise from former clients. One client mentioned that the facility was clean, there were beautiful views, and the food was great. She also said the therapy made a big difference for her and the program changed her life.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
Outpatient rehabs provide flexibility and accommodation for clients who prefer to remain in their homes and workplaces while in recovery. They also facilitate clients' sustained sobriety for clients stepping down from intensive inpatient care. Clients may engage in day, evening, night, or weekend treatment sessions, which typically involve addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Many outpatient facilities also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) and evidence-based holistic therapies, such as yoga and massage.
Aftercare
Clients engaged in a rehab aftercare program are in a more advanced stage of recovery. Many have already completed inpatient detox and/or rehab and have returned to their home, workplace, and community. Rehab aftercare services are designed to support clients' recovery over the long term and typically include a broad portfolio of resources, such as peer coaching and 12 step program induction. Clients may collaborate with their case manager and care team to create their care plan.
24-Hour Clinical Care
24-hour clinical care in South Carolina is designed to protect those in recovery from health risks of withdrawal. For example, opioid withdrawal can cause vomiting and diarrhea that results in a life-threatening level of dehydration. Withdrawal from benzodiazepines can cause seizures which can be fatal. To avoid these risks, supervised medical detox is recommended. Under this care, medical professionals constantly monitor patients to ensure a safe detox process.
Medically Assisted Detox
Withdrawing from addictive substances, like alcohol, benzodiazepines (like Xanax), or opioids, occurs during the detox process. Since this process can have uncomfortable and even dangerous side effects, the mission of a medically assisted detox is to provide an expert medical team to help monitor your health around the clock. They will work to keep you as safe and comfortable as possible, administering necessary medications to alleviate any withdrawal symptoms.

Treatment
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.
Clinical Services
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.
