LifeStance Therapists & Psychiatrists Walnut Creek

Bright Heart Health is a virtual recovery service that uses evidence-based practices to help men and women recover from addiction. They work with those who are struggling with substance use disorder, mental health issues, eating disorders, and chronic pain.

Bright Heart Health offers virtual intensive outpatient and outpatient services.

The intensive outpatient program at Bright Heart Health offers up to ten hours of treatment per week. Nine hours are spent in group therapy and one hour is spent in individual therapy with a therapist. Group sessions are three hours long. Once a month each individual will also receive a dietary session with a registered dietician to support daily health needs.

The opioid treatment program at Bright Heart Health is offered for those who need to overcome opioid addiction. Physicians prescribe and monitor medications that allow individuals to stop abusing opioids without experiencing intense drug cravings or severe withdrawal symptoms. Counselors meet with individuals online via telemedicine to help identify and develop strategies to deal with the issues and disorders that may have contributed to opioid abuse.

Group therapy involves treatment through the process of connecting in a group setting to discuss and work through mental, emotional, and physical issues. There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. At Bright Hearth Health, group therapy includes support, educational tools, and encouragement through interactive, live video conferencing with peers. All groups are private and pre-registration is required.

Individual therapy creates the space to explore the psychological challenges associated with the addiction. With the help of a professional, individuals are given the space and direction to talk about and process their emotions. Often this includes unresolved trauma, anger, depression, anxiety, and the need for more control or autonomy in life. Therapy is provided through interactive, live video conferencing with a mental health professional.
