Brightside was established in 2015 and has been the leader in addiction treatment ever since.  Brightside initially started with providing medication-assisted treatment (MAT) through our Brightside Clinic. Brightside Recovery’s programs have the extra layer of support through individual and group therapy, peer support and sustainable aftercare.

We work with every patient to achieve continued success after leaving Brightside Recovery. We believe to overcome addiction, one needs to continually manage the triggers associated with their past addiction. Thus, our outpatient programs work long term to better ensure a positive recovery with continued access the medication-assisted treatment (MAT).  In fact, a Harvard study has shown our treatment program can increase the likelihood of long term sobriety over other programs that do not have access to MAT.

Through our medical business, Brightside Clinic, we can offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to help mitigate the discomfort of withdrawal and cravings and help minimize any potential health risks with immediately stopping substance use. At Brightside, we develop treatment programs to ensure the most comfortable and safe transition for recovery. 

• Co-Developed Treatment Programs
• Flexible Programs for Active Individuals
• Unique Treatments for All Substance Abuses

Brightside is one of the only programs that allows you to co-create your own treatment programs. Our team is fully knowledgeable in treating all substance use addictions and will recommend a specific path we think is best for you, but it is ultimately you that decides your treatment path.

With our added support of the Brightside Clinic, we can combine medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to further enhance your recovery during and after treatment. We will not force MAT with your program but will educate you and present it as an option. With some dependencies, it may be very beneficial to add MAT to your treatment program as it may minimize the potential of any seizures or side effects that may occur with stopping substance use. You then review the options and determine your path to recovery. While we have several treatment programs available to you, it is your decision on what type of treatment best works for you. 

Finally, we understand substance use dependence does not define you. You have a life filled with family and friends, a job and life goals. This is why our programs are flexible and are designed to allow you to continue your life without the interruption of having to be waitlisted to start or having to go away to a treatment facility for 30 days or more.
