Without [this program], I don’t know where I would be or what condition I would be in. I do know, however, that it would not compare to the peaceful and humble life I now live every day.

Family Work Is a Cornerstone of Our Treatment Program

At BrightQuest, we strongly believe that family members play a critical and central role in supporting their loved one with creating a life of health, stability, and success.

Numerous studies and over three decades of our own clinical experience point directly to a significant increase in the recovery and sustained health of clients whose families remained involved in and supportive of the treatment process.

Families Are Involved in:

• Weekly family therapy sessions

• Bimonthly family weekends and multi-family support groups

• Learning effective, healthy, and supportive communication skills

• The empowerment and support of their loved one’s independence

• Developing boundaries to promote the health of the entire family system

Whether our clients are self-referred or come to us from other treatment facilities or hospitals, our in-depth admissions assessment process relies heavily on both client and family participation. This process is essential for determining the most appropriate treatment recommendations and level of care for your loved one.
