How we build a better path to recovery

  • Evidence-based care: Our whole-person approach combines medication assisted treatment (MAT) with individual and group counseling to support long-term success. 
  • Harm reduction: Every patient is treated with dignity and respect in a safe, supportive environment. 
  • Easy access: Same-day or next-day appointments, with walk-ins welcome, and broad insurance acceptance including Medicaid and Medicare. 

At BrightView, we treat you like a person. We treat addiction like a disease. 

Real progress, real results

Recovery takes courage, and it works. After just 90 days of treatment at BrightView, our patients report meaningful improvements in their health and well-being:

  • 44% decrease in use of illicit substances

  • Nearly 50% reduction in alcohol use

  • 27% decrease in feelings of depression, anxiety, or anger

Every statistic represents a story of hope, healing, and growth.

Why choose BrightView for outpatient treatment

BrightView is dedicated to compassionate, comprehensive addiction treatment. We offer patients a chance to recover in an environment where they are always welcomed, encouraged, and respected. 

Our commitment to supportive, evidence-based care shapes our outpatient treatment programs for a range of substance use disorders (SUDs), including:

Intake and first visit

Your admission day will be the first step toward the future you deserve. You'll fill out a few forms and take a judgment-free urine test to help our team create a customized treatment plan.  

Next, you'll meet with a licensed BrightView counselor or social worker to discuss your current situation and any questions you have regarding BrightView's approach and resources. You'll then meet with a physician who will assess your health and prescribe medications for withdrawal symptoms, if appropriate. Finally, our nursing team will show you how to take any new medications. 

You'll return to BrightView for your second appointment to finalize your personalized treatment plan and meet your case manager. You'll also schedule follow-up appointments, group therapy sessions, and counseling to start working toward your future. 

MAT and counseling working together

Medication assisted treatment can be an important part of recovery, especially when combined with counseling and social support. Medication can reduce cravings, so you can focus on recovery. BrightView provides patients with the medication and knowledge required to safely and successfully manage withdrawal symptoms. 

However, MAT rarely drives long-term success on its own. BrightView builds a culture around treating addiction that goes beyond medications. Individual counseling and group therapy sessions equip our patients for lasting recovery and a brighter future. Our team will also share resources such as community support opportunities and help you set realistic expectations, allowing you to focus on living your best life. 

Case management and community support

Facing addiction can be challenging, but success is possible with a supportive environment and a committed support network. Our case managers provide services tailored to your unique needs, from connecting you to community resources for food and housing to referrals for local specialists. BrightView team members can even assist with unemployment, health insurance, and legal aid. We also advocate for broader community support to enhance the range of available services for people in recovery.  

Ongoing support and next steps

At BrightView, we understand that people with SUDs need continuing support after completing an addiction treatment program. Our team will help you transition from more intensive levels of outpatient care, depending on your needs. 

Our mission is to help every person facing addiction prepare for the future while living their best life.
