Brightli - Preferred Family Healthcare Inc

Supportive Treatment for Adolescents

Brightli – Preferred Family Healthcare Inc. serves adolescents seeking help for substance use and co-occurring mental health needs. Located on a calm, rural campus in Joplin, Missouri, the program provides space for reflection and growth. The environment encourages focus and connection, helping teens rebuild confidence while developing skills to manage challenges in daily life.

Comprehensive and Flexible Care

The facility offers residential, outpatient, and intensive outpatient programs tailored to each teen’s stage of recovery. Individual, group, and family counseling forms the foundation of care, supported by relapse prevention, education, and life-skills development. Telehealth options extend access to those who need ongoing support outside the residential setting, ensuring continuity through transitions in care and school life.

Integrated Mental Health and Medication Support

Brightli integrates mental health services into every treatment plan. Teens may receive medication for mental health conditions when appropriate, and those already prescribed medications for addiction treatment (MAT) for alcohol or opioid use disorders can continue them under coordinated supervision. This continuity minimizes disruption and helps stabilize recovery while addressing both emotional and physical health.

Family Connection and Real-Life Readiness

Families are an active part of the recovery process. Through therapy and education, caregivers learn to strengthen communication and establish healthy boundaries at home. A structured daily routine balances therapy, academics, and recreation, supported by amenities like gardens, walking trails, and a basketball court. Teens also engage in peer mentoring, recovery meetings, and aftercare planning that reinforce real-world readiness. As a private non-profit, Brightli maintains accessibility through Medicaid, TRICARE, private insurance, and a sliding-fee option for families seeking quality, affordable care.
