About BriteLife Recovery – Hilton Head Island
BriteLife Recovery is in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. They have detox services, and they treat substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health issues. They have a men’s residential treatment program at the Hilton Head Island location. The women’s residential treatment house is only a few minutes away in Bluffton. They accept insurance from most of the major providers.
BriteLife is a Joint Commission Accredited facility. They use the CCISC model of care (comprehensive, continuous, integrated). Through this model, they treat both substance use and co-occurring disorders in an integrated and continuous fashion through accessible and welcoming care that includes the family where appropriate. They use small, intimate settings and medical treatments custom-tailored to each person.
They also use a gender-specific curriculum because men and women have widely varying experiences. They use a trauma-informed approach since substance use is often a response to past trauma and its significant effects on emotional, neurological, cognitive, and developmental processes. They also have intervention services if you’re trying to help a loved one acknowledge his/her addiction and get them into treatment.
The detox services are inpatient. Whether you’re addicted to alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, or stimulants, they’ll monitor your detox around the clock. They’ll help you safely detox and then once you’re stabilized, you can begin a residential program. Alcohol detox usually takes between seven and 10 days while opioid detox is about five to seven days, though every individual is different.
The men’s and women’s residential programs offer semi-private rooms. You’ll have access to a pool. You’ll get intensive therapy while in the program. Some of the therapies include one-on-one counseling and group therapy. There’s also cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-informed therapy. They encourage families to take part in counseling sessions since addiction affects the entire family.
The programs get high praise from former clients. One client mentioned that the facility was clean, there were beautiful views, and the food was great. She also said the therapy made a big difference for her and the program changed her life.
