About Ascension Brighton Center for Recovery
Ascension Brighton Center strives to help patients achieve a substance free life, restore their quality of life and rebuild any damaged relationships. The facility also has a halfway housing program to give clients stable housing options while they are recovering. Payment options available to clients include private insurance and self pay arranged by the financial assistance team.
One of the great things about this facility is that it offers treatment for a variety of different conditions a client may be dealing with. They can treat chronic substance use, polysubstance use disorder, substance use disorder and co-occurring health conditions. Polysubstance use disorder refers to individuals addicted to both alcohol and a chemical substance. Co-occurring health conditions refer to clients addicted to a substance while also diagnosed with conditions such as cancer or heart disease. Ascension Brighton Center also helps treat clients who are suffering from conditions that developed as a result of substance use, such as malnourishment and cognitive impairment.
In outpatient treatment, clients will participate in group and individual counseling and meet regularly with an addiction specialist. They’ll be provided life skills training and nutrition education. A women’s only recovery program and support programs for families are also provided at this facility.

Watch the movie Body Brokers that is what is going on in this facility. When Obama Care came around tons of places like this popped up all over the country. All of the staff and Doctors especially are collecting money from our insurance companies. Especially if you have Medicare. The lady who I roomed with I found out today that she actually works there! They try to keep you for as long as they can. I new something was wrong within a week after being there. They were giving me pills on top of my other pills not necessarily explaining what they were for. I was an alcoholic but I think the meds they gave me interacted with my other medication I was already taken. I had 4 seizures ended up in the hospital. I had my phone and called the ambulance to Co and get me. The nurse there injected me with another shot before the ambulance took me to the hospital. I told the nurses about the incident they said they had 5 other people come in that day from the same facility. They said they also have been told by previous reports that that place passes out Meds like candy. This place is a scam! The outside might look fabulous but the inside are a bunch of working robots. Be better off going to AA meetings
I have to agree with the person that posted this facility is about collecting a paycheck snd not serious about recovery. As well as the statement about this facility having no long term plan. My dads been in and out of this rehab 5 times this year because it's the only thing his insurance covers. They don't have legit psychological help either. His "buddy from work back in the day" is who they had hired to be the therapist on staff which just spent time talking about the good old days instead of actually getting him help he needs. He was addicted to alcohol and oxy so bad back in 2014 that insurance then paid to fly him to a facility where he "died" was on a ventilator... woke up sober thinking hey... I got 30 days in and they were like nope.... day 1. And they REALLY worked on his addiction and therapy. He was required to be there at least 90 days. It was the first time ever in his life he was sober and stayed sober for years. He went to Brighton for help. Instead the do the "we legally have to have him detox here so he doesn't die and insurance covers" and they kick him out and he's immediately back to drinking. No longer term solutions. Last time the doctor (I want to use the term doctor lightly) told him to take all these vitamins that were supposed to help. Specialty things I had to order for him because at rehab he was told he should take. They didn't take into account if it interacted with his prescriptions or his liver/kidneys. I ordered. Money down the drain... guess who just spent $125 on alcohol and drove his truck drunk? Hasn't been caught. No DUI's.... I'm trying everything in my power to get him help/keep him from harming others and this rehab is a joke. They don't even speak with the family like the other rehab did to find out everything happening at home. I've notified local PD. I have him on tape days and days of him just obliterated out of his mind laughing how the PD so dumb he drove past 2 of them and threatening his families life... he was in the military military. I grew up hearing how he could easily harm with anything didn't need certain objects. Living with the stress. Trying to get an addict proper help. And not being able to truly do anything until he either harms us or others where it's "too late". The families and innocent humans in public that have to suffer at the hands of an addict for anyone to actually take serious is disgusting and disheartening and I'm beyond my breaking point. Al-anon is a joke because yes we get support from others dealing with addicts and addiction is a disease but the truth is.... none of these places truly care and our laws don't protect the innocent they just continue to give others loopholes to harm. There's no prevention.... just clean up. There's no real help.... just payday for those banking off others suffering.
Brighton recovery center saved my life. Highly recommended for treatment and the food is good 👍

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
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.
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.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
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
Some people may be better served by one of their outpatient programs. Through customized group counseling and educational sessions, they are able to focus on substance-abuse rehabilitation while the patient maintains employment and family life outside of the hospital setting. By participating in their outpatient services, people can not only receive the vital care they need, but also maintain their employment and family lives outside of the hospital setting. Brighton’s Outpatient Treatment Programs are viable and cost-effective alternatives for patients who do not require more intensive treatment for a drug or alcohol addiction.
Detoxification (detox) is the process in which a patient’s body is safely withdrawn from the substance(s) to which it is addicted. When a person uses drugs or alcohol for a period of time, toxins build up in the body. These toxins can cause a range of health issues including death. Freeing the body of these toxins is often the first step in substance-abuse treatment at Brighton Center for Recovery. They have a first-rate medical detox unit that helps patients through withdrawal using effective techniques and medications.
Intensive Outpatient Drug Treatment at Brighton Center for Recovery offers more support and guidance than traditional outpatient addiction counseling. Sessions are held three times a week and consist of three-hour group therapy and education sessions. To accommodate a wide range of schedules, Brighton provides day, afternoon, and evening rehabilitation sessions. In addition to the various outpatient rehabilitation options, patients are given the opportunity to attend many Brighton-sponsored family support programs, and related events.
When dealing with addiction, it is often necessary for a patient to receive 24-hour care in an inpatient setting. Inpatient treatment allows patients to be removed from their previous environments, away from any negative associations to drugs or alcohol, and allows them to avoid temptation and to focus on recovery. Patients who reside at their rehab facility receive round-the-clock care and support. At Brighton they have found that this positive atmosphere promotes a healthy transition to a clean and sober life.
For any patient, returning home too soon can be detrimental to the success of recovery. By choosing a transitional housing option, patients are assured of a highly structured environment that can consolidate the gains made during drug or alcohol treatment. Such a stay is often the final step in successful treatment. Responding to the increasing need for a transitional, sober-living environment for women, they opened a 16-bed home on the Brighton campus. The Henderson Halfway House is a 16-bed facility located on the Brighton campus for men.
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn’t spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. Recovery does not happen in a few months. So Brighton programs include plans for year-long engagement after a patient leaves their facility. They work with substance-abuse rehabilitation centers in their home communities to create coordinated plans for aftercare. They schedule outpatient post-rehab care prior to discharging our patients.
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
Treatments
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.
Drug rehab in Michigan provides personalized treatment to help individuals break this cycle and regain control of their lives. Treatment methods are used in various levels of care, including inpatient rehab, partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, and standard outpatient treatment.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
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.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
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.
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.
A new, active routine can reduce stress levels and keep the mind clear. This can include exercise, time outdoors, and fresh air. As a part of their commitment to effective care, Brighton has staff who are dedicated to recreation therapy. Healthy activity promotes a sense of normalcy and reduction of stress — both of which are important in starting and sustaining true recovery.
Many family members are affected by a loved one’s drug or alcohol use. Therefore, effective treatment must include the family. Brighton makes this commitment as part of their basic programs. And they provide additional outpatient therapy sessions for families where needed. Brighton is committed to keeping the next generation of your family out of their facility. They know that effective efforts at prevention go beyond mere tutoring and childcare. So they include counseling for young people. This is most important for those who have watched a parent struggle with addiction.
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.
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 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 (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.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
Replacing harmful substances with a healthy diet is essential. This is because a healthy diet lessens the physical craving to return to drug or alcohol use. Therefore, Brighton broadly emphasizes good nutrition. They employ a staff dietitian who works with their patients on an individual basis. There is no need to have a diagnosis of nutritional deficiency or an eating disorder.
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.
