About BriteLife Recovery

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.

Britelife was an eye opening experience for me. I learned real tools to use and information about my own thinking that is such a big part of my addiction! The staff at Ulmer were amazing and went to so many lengths to ensure that the environment was comfortable and productive! Nurse Jen is amazing and making clients aware of their medical profile. Lisa, the house manager at Ulmer also comes to mind as an amazing part of my stay, she goes to great lengths for the ladies during and after detox! I am very grateful for this experience!

Accepted Insurance

BriteLife Recovery works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

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 iconAftercare Support

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 icon24-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 iconMedically 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.

Treatments

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

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.

The staff are excellent and “Johnny on the spot”. I enjoyed great activities that include beach, nature walks, movies, art therapy, music therapy, acupuncture and more during my stay. Lots to do and great group therapy and one on one therapy! Giving a shout out to Jamal, Adam, Kayla and all the other staff! A simple thank you doesn’t cover how much I appreciate you all.

Quite possibly the worst experience of my adult life. I have been locked up and would rather go back to lockup than to Britelife. This was my second time as a client and I had nothing but wonderful things to say about it and their staff. Since then, it has undergone some very unfortunate transformations ; From the techs, to the nursing (who constantly got many clients medications wrong, to case management, there is zero communication to be had between those departments in any acceptable time frame. They withheld from me thst I was done with detox for two full days while continuing to give me detox meds. The techs hear you then do nothing to assist. I hope you love salt and seasonings beyond any taste pallette be use that's what you're gonna get with their food. Unbeknownst to me, they were calling my family the entire time as I voiced my concerns about these things, telling them I was looking for any angle to leave. They also told my family that if I left their facility (mind you I had completed detox at this point) that if I left that the next conversation with them would be the last because I'd probably die. They also said I was combative when adamantly diplomatic would have been the wiser wording. Extreme gas lighting and completely unprofessional. Lastly, the programs have geared into more of an AA based program. If that's your thing then great, but it's not for all of us and it's mandatory to attend their AA/NA meetings nightly. The whole program has drastically gone down hill and disappointed is an understatement. I'd strongly consider another option because once you are there they will do everything in their power to keep you there to collect that insurance money. Don't forget thst this is a business. I hope this helps anyone on the fence. Stay away until they get it back together, if they ever do.
