Heart icon Treatment

book iconAlcoholism

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.

prescription iconDrug Addiction

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

head-side-medical iconDual Diagnosis

Individuals who with a “dual diagnosis” have both a mental illness (i.e. schizophrenia, major depression, bipolar disorder) and a co-existing substance abuse problem. Some facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder treat both disorders at the same time.

file-medical iconMental 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.

car-building iconOutpatient

Outpatient programs are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The outpatient is ideal for those who have just completed the semi-independent living program or the residential program. Clients continue to attend sessions, groups and activities.

house-medical iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

bed-front iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition treatment. Hanbleceya offers the VisionQuest House which is a residential treatment with 24/7 staff support. Individuals receive life skills training, medication support, education and management.

house iconSober Living Homes

Hanbleceya Treatment Center offers a semi-independent housing. Residents at the house will participate in weekly house meetings, cooking rotations and grocery shopping rotation and chore rotations. Additionally, clients will work together to prepare meals. The main goal of the program is for residents to apply the life skills learned in order to help them to return to their real lives.

book-medical icon12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

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.

Creative Arts Therapy

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

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.

Equine Therapy

Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.

Experiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Fitness Therapy

Fitness therapy blends exercise with psychotherapy for a fun, inspiring, and effective way of treating addiction and other issues. By incorporating movement into counseling sessions, clients become more empowered, motivated, and goal-oriented, all while strengthening their bodies and becoming more flexible. Fitness Therapy is usually used to complement a course of treatment (inpatient or outpatient) to make it even more successful. Increasing the connection between a patient’s mind and body helps both with healing as well as in creating new, healthy habits.

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.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

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.

Beware!! I m surprised they get 3 stars I wouldn t give them one! They are extortionist who will lie to your face and take your money and you get left homeless on the street! I spent a little over a year with BQ and I wouldn t leave my dog there to be treated not alone a human being. The therapist are all incompetent and tell your family lies about you just so they can keep you there as long as they can and suck you dry of your money! I was put into alternative placement back in 2020 and one of the facilities they placed me in for paying 10k a month was literally a converted motel in a compound with no running water little to no food inhumane accommodation including a bathroom that didn t work and no clean sheets to sleep. BQ also took my phone from me for over a year which is a violation of my rights as a client and only allowed me to call my family once a week for 5 minutes. If I tried calling my family without their permission I was knocked down in the program or threatened with other means of punishment. When I filled multiple violations with San Diego County Mental Health department they found several of my complaints valid and that I had my rights violated there. I only wish I would have had the money and resources to use legal action against BQ for the treatment I endured during my time there

I only came here to get rid of the side effects that this certain drug was giving me. I was being forced this medication that made my nerves worse and it was so strong that I couldn't just stop taking it cold turkey or I would have severe and permanent nerve damage. I was chemically held hostage here for a year until they finally took me off of my meds despite never showing any symptoms of what I was being 'treated' for. I may have had slight anxiety/depression but I was forced meds that had known side effects of anxiety and depression??? It really ripped my family apart. 'Therapists' here aren't bright enough to know that they aren't bright enough, which also makes them *extremely* pretentious and condescending. They really have a way with manipulating families to make them believe they are helping though.

Avoid at all costs. This place lies and leads clients on with false promises. The "therapist" twist everything you say around and use it against you. They generalize all of the clients when there is no need to. Many are at different places in their lives and different levels of competency but are all treated the same demeaning way. The groups are a complete waste of time. About half of the time the facilitator had nothing prepared and we played board games. Complete waste of money. The therapeutic community model is a scam, it's fake and doesn't work ..or at least not the way brightquest works. In 9 months I've seen 9 therapist leave and countless other staff members leave as well. They keep you there as long as possible so they can get as much money as possible. The only way people actually leave is when their families become fed up. They also lie and misled you when trying to convince you to attend.

We had a family member here for 7 months beginning in October 2021.Strengths: For the most part, the staff are kind and well-intentioned. The directors in particular made time to listen to us and try to respond to our problems. The facility is clean. During family programming, a number of clients and their families who appeared successful with the program shared their stories.Weaknesses:1. Insurance reimbursement concern #1: The policy when we were involved was that insurance is only reimbursed after all funds are re-couped from insurance AND the client has been discharged. Brightquest and their holding company wound up holding 10 s of thousands of dollars of our money for many months. Based on discussions with our insurance company this policy is highly unusual in the industry.2. Insurance reimbursement concern #2: If insurance is willing to pay but the client does not attend the sessions, the responsible party pays $800 per day (2021 rates). When this happened, Brightquest took over a month to let us know.3. Lack of objective evidence for milieu-based therapy. Brightquest s website suggests they have deep expertise in multiple mental health conditions. In fact, it is a small program with an emphasis on milieu therapy. Their key philosophy is that the milieu helps their clients get better. I cannot find peer-reviewed evidence-based findings suggesting support for the claim. Having seen milieu-based therapy in action I am skeptical that it is appropriate for the range of mental health diagnoses Brightquest admits.4. Size of program. The program is small clients live in small houses. This seems appealing because it should allow clients to make close connections. Unfortunately, if you put clients with a variety of serious mental health conditions in close quarters, some may not do well together. In contrast, in a larger facility, if a couple of clients are not doing well together, they have more space to go their own way.5. Reactivity. The therapists are highly reactive. Interventions abound. This may be exactly what is counter-indicated for your loved one s condition.6. Staffing. Staff turnover was significant. Our loved one received two therapy sessions per week but one of the sessions was administered by an intern in a degree program but without a license to practice. It took 3 months for our final report to arrive.7. Suspension from the program. While charging $150 per day, our contact (family therapist) did not answer the phone or return email messages for about a week during a period of suspension and readmission.8. Family Therapy . We were assigned a staff member who was away for 20% of our sessions for a variety of vacations and other activities at the center, e.g., camping trips. This aspect of the program was ineffective for us.9. Group Family Programming. Unstructured. Therapist unable to redirect conversations that wandered off topic.10. Problems keeping track of client belongs. We had problems upon discharge with lost belongings. The director and overseeing staff worked hard to rectify it. I greatly appreciate the efforts, but it was many hours of our time. Important mail was delivered to Brighquest after discharge that we never received.

For the reviews this place has and them to straight faced ask for 15K to 30K per month for a nine month treatment seems at a juxtaposition for what they are trying to achieve.Mental health is only for the privately funded wealthy.

My therapist was very kind but ultimately didn t offer much help or actual therapy, just would basically give me the floor to talk the whole time while she just sat and listened. There was very little feedback and when there was, mostly just generalized comments. I would have loved and likely benefitted much more of the therapist actually asked probing questions or displayed an inquisitive attitude at any point. Honestly seemed like she was just nodding yes to whatever I said and once when I stopped and asked her thoughts on what I was saying, she kinda snapped out of her daydreaming and was caught off guard. At one point I just began buying self-help books for myself so that I d be getting some modicum of psychological help.That and literally being gaslighted constantly by her and other staff I d bring up a previous discussion we d had and she d claim to never have said [whatever], that I was mistaken or didn t remember correctly. Basically calling me delusional. Either there was some major gaslighting going on or they were experiencing constant amnesia, it was absolutely bizarre.I d also advise against opting for any involvement with the nutrition program there, and just to give fair warning: they will NOT help u lose/modify ur weight, if anything the idea is having u gain weight (me and multiple other clients, when staying at one of the residential (supervised) houses, gained about 30+ pounds in less than a month, which is apparently quite a normal occurrence. I had (and still have) pre-diabetes and insulin resistance plus another metabolic disorder, which incidentally were *never* considered relevant or worth discussing. Mealtimes at this residential house amounted to little more than forced eating very BIG portions. The nutrition program also does nothing to explore any psychological or emotional issues relating to food, eating, weight, etc, but rather consists of sitting in nutrition group sessions doing basic arts and crafts activities and discussing favorite snack ideas.The staff do mean well, but are all very wrapped up in the facility s unique culture which inherently causes it to be a one size fits all general theme. I did glean some benefits but ultimately did most of the work on my own.

Sent me to a local hospital, didn't provide insurance to the hospital and ambulance, took me off the only effective med mix I've been on dangerously fast, didn't notify my PO i was bekng transferred to another facility, now I'm 14k in medical debt, have a probation violation, and have daily panic attacks. Made my life immeasurably worse, thanks guys.

Staff is stretched too thin, horrible communication, lack of support, and they re obviously just trying to make money more then actually help clients. Send your kids anywhere else, because this place won t get them the help they say they will. Could go into more detail, but overall I m just amazed this place is still in business.

We transferred my father to this treatment center and I was absolutely impressed with the amount of detail and time they put into getting to know him and all the issues he is having. His history and making it very family-centered with his care. A three-day comprehensive in-processing. Never found a place like it, definitely a gem as far as residential psychiatric treatment center goes. They go the extra mile. Thanks!
