About BrightView – Cincinnati
BrightView is an outpatient addiction treatment center serving the community of Cincinnati, Ohio. They specialize in treating opioid, meth, and alcohol addictions. Treatment is made up of medical, psychological, and social components with medication assisted treatment and therapy. BrightView recommends beginning treatment without methadone or long-acting opioids in your system for at least 48 to 72 hours.
Combining medication with support services and counseling gives you the best opportunity at recovery. You’l begin at BrightView with a comprehensive assessment and a physician visit. Medication will be prescribed to you to eliminate withdrawal symptoms and intense drug cravings. You’ll receive a personalized treatment plan, schedule group therapy sessions, and review other medical services needed. BrightView also helps you address immediate needs like housing, food, and clothing.
This part of treatment helps set you up for long-term sobriety success. In group and individual counseling sessions you’ll participate in education, peer support, and cognitive behavioral therapy. You’ll also identify life stressors and triggers while learning how to navigate them. Continuing care is recommended to stay on top of all symptoms of addiction.
According to their website, BrightView says that after 90 days in the program, individuals report more than a 50% decrease in alcohol consumption. Program participants also report a one third decrease in emergency room visits after three months and a 50% decrease after one year. I find it interesting BrightView also reports its clients experience a 50% increase in engagement with regular medical providers, like primary care.
