About BrightQuest Treatment Centers

Situated in the heart of La Mesa, California, is BrightQuest Treatment Centers. This recovery facility specializes in helping adults navigate complex mental struggles and co-occurring disorders. It provides residential care and outpatient treatment, offering a supportive environment for you to receive the services you need to lead an independent and healthy lifestyle.

Policies from most major insurance providers are accepted here, and they also take select VA benefits as well.

Addressing Drug Induced Psychosis

They address struggles with substance abuse disorder here but specialize in supporting adults who are experiencing drug induced psychosis. This happens when individuals who have experimented with drugs no longer connect with reality.

Often, there will be other mental health struggles at play, such as schizophrenia or a delusional disorder. When substance abuse is involved, chemicals can exacerbate the mental health struggle, causing psychosis related symptoms.

The care team here is equipped to treat these types of episodes, help your body stabilize, and support you during the early stages of recovery so that you can begin benefiting from treatment services here.

While you’re receiving support, you’ll work through challenges through individual and group counseling. You’ll also have access to vocational and educational support services so that you can build skills that will help you lead an independent life.

Conveniently Located

Many clients receiving support through this organization live close to the offices where counseling and outpatient care happen. Typically, the residential space is within walking distance, and the facility offers a really serene and calming environment for you to work through your addiction struggles.

The community itself is also incredibly resourceful. You’re close to popular attractions like the beach, downtown San Diego, shopping strips, and community spaces where you can go and enjoy the incredible weather here.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

BrightQuest Treatment Centers works with several private insurance providers, 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.

Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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 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.

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.

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.

Inpatient treatment for drug and alcohol addiction with a focus on mental health is a good fit for people who need closer monitoring and care. Treatment may occur in a hospital setting, a clinic, or a luxury rehab center. Mental health counselors and staff are available 24/7. Therapies typically include group and individual counseling, relapse prevention education, and emotional coping skills training.

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.

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.

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 (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, 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 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.

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 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 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.

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 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.

Do not send your loved ones here. I had one of the worst experiences of my life here. I was overmedicated and placed on 7 drugs. I was held here for 2 years and made no progress intentionally only for Bright Quest to make revenue. It wasn't until I left against medical advice, and when I got home and got off most of my medications and "out of a fog" that I got better. NOW, on my own, I was able to heal. That places number one goal is to keep you there and keep you sick. They also love to encourage their clients parents to put patients under conservatorship to guarantee their bank account doesn't run dry. Be prepared to have to spend years cleaning up a mess that Bright Quest will create for you and your family. Treatment like this is just a holding facility, there are much better options.

Response from the owner

During my early 20's (2021), my parents were desperate to help me get better, and placed their trust in Brightquest. I was told many things that were incorrect during my stay. The primary problem I had was that I was told I was going to receive psychiatric care in a certain way-- that my medicine would be administered to me personally by a staff, because I have a disability that requires medical attention, and because it wasn't being treated correctly, I was unable to manage my life at all. Staff delivered the medicine maybe 5 times altogether and repeatedly blamed me for missing it, with unclear instructions as to how to obtain it and what was promised/expected with my medicine. In addition, staff would consistently not follow interventions properly and took out their bias about what they thought the client needed on the client. For instance, I was seen as "stubborn", and so therapeutic interventions like giving me my medicine and abiding by certain de-escalation techniques were not adhered to. There would be lists made for staff to follow and staff would repeatedly do very different, harmful things. The team of therapists I had repeatedly changed, were not licensed, and made interventions that were harmful. It was reactive therapy as a result, rather than thoughtful and well-placed advice and help. I didn't understand what therapists were trying to accomplish. With my current therapist at my new treatment center, even if I don't understand the details, I understand the end goal, which is important in therapy. The therapy was not evidence based. I received feedback from my peers constantly, and tried to find a way to follow directions, but felt very lost and without guidance. As a result, I was misplaced and ignored in the program. There was constant staff turnover. The place was very scary for me and the staff didn't understand my fear. It felt like the staff were administering punitive interventions rather than trying to talk to me about my fears. I was never able to receive the care I needed because I could not communicate with any staff member honestly and openly and establish trust. The key issue I found was that I was misdiagnosed, was not given the proper medication, and the problems I had were mistreated and left to fester without assistance and any trusting relationships. I did not have consistent, appropriate psychiatric or medical treatment the entire time. Moral of the story: I left and went to another treatment center and was able to regain control of my life. The many thousands of dollars wasted at Brightquest is awful, but after 3 years of evidence-based treatment from the place I went on to graduate successfully helped me understand that the true evil that Brightquest did was promise help when what they seemed to want was righteous and justifiable praise, and money. I wish Brightquest could see the turn around I did, and realize how wrong their treatment of me was. I am now happy, successful, and stable. I do not have any of the disorders they thought were accurate and important to treat. I have friends, family, and a life. Please, please reconsider attending Brightquest. Look for evidence based treatment centers. I needed space and I needed the opportunity to start trusting and build a happy life, and when I was offered that elsewhere, that was the beginning of my road to getting better.
