Behavioral Health Therapies

• Stress at work, home, or school 
• Ongoing physical health concerns 
• Being around others who are using drugs or alcohol 
• Spending time in places where you used to use 
• Financial stress or worries 

At BrightView, we tailor therapy to the patient. Treating a substance use disorder requires flexible tools. These are some therapy tools we use during addiction treatment: 

• Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): Helps you recognize and change harmful thought patterns and behaviors related to substance use 
• Motivational interviewing (MI/MET): Helps you get ready for change by working together to set goals and stay motivated 
• Psychoeducation: Provides information about addiction, recovery, mental health, and coping skills so patients can better understand the recovery process and feel more equipped to manage challenges 
• Contingency management: Gives rewards for reaching goals, like getting test results that show no substance use 

Your behavioral health care should support and grow with your recovery journey. If family relationships are linked to your substance use, therapy will focus on them. If negative thought cycles hold you back, therapy can also help with that. A diverse tool set lets us serve your specific therapy needs.

Your first month in treatment sets the foundation for long-term recovery. A typical path looks like this: 

1. Assessment and planning: A full check of your health, history, current situation, and goals 
2. Weekly sessions: Regular individual and group therapy sessions to build skills and community 
3. Check-ins and drug screens: Regular screenings for accountability and progress tracking 
4. Telehealth: Virtual care options available at select centers for more flexible and accessible therapy 

Peer support groups are a vital part of addiction treatment. Group therapy expands on individual therapy by offering a community. Community helps break through the isolation of addiction and broadens your social support network.  

For some people, group therapy sounds intimidating. But you don’t have to jump into the deep end on day one. You can listen to others and share parts of your story as you are ready. We design group therapy to encourage and support you, not put pressure on you. 

BrightView combines medication assisted treatment (MAT) with mental health services to create a complete recovery plan. MAT helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms so you can focus on therapy, relationships, and other areas of healing, especially early in recovery, when symptoms can feel strongest. 

Medication is only one part of your care. Managing physical symptoms makes it easier to stay engaged in therapy and benefit from services like: 

• Individual therapy: Work through underlying issues, manage stress, and build healthy coping skills 
• Group therapy: Connect with peers, share experiences, and find encouragement 
• Care team coordination: Keeps your medications, screenings, and therapy aligned 
• Telehealth options: Offer flexible access so you can stay consistent in treatment 

By combining medication, therapy, and social support, BrightView helps patients stay in treatment longer and build a strong foundation for lasting recovery.
