Their Recovery Services program provides holistic, personalized dual diagnoses and addiction treatment in an outpatient setting.

Bright Harbor Healthcare started in 1959 as Ocean Mental Health Services. They started with two counselors who provided counseling and addiction treatment services from one tiny office. Today they’re located not just in Bayville but throughout Ocean County. They may have grown bigger, but their mission has always been to be there for whatever the community needs.

Addiction and mental health struggles often go hand in hand. Both need attention to truly heal. This program takes a holistic approach, caring for the whole person which includes mind, body and spirit.
Recovery looks different for everyone. That’s why treatment plans here are always personalized to meet each client’s unique needs. For some medication assisted treatment (MAT) may be an important part of recovery. Treatment begins with a professional evaluation to understand what will work best for each individual. If MAT is needed options like Suboxone or Vivitrol are available. Whatever your treatment plan looks like they have flexible day and evening options to make sure everything fits into your life and schedule.

Peer Recovery Support is a program that many clients say is life changing. What makes the program stand out is the strong support system it provides, especially during difficult times. It works because peers who have lived through addiction can relate to what clients are going through and offer support that feels real and understanding.
