Community-Based Care in Kansas City

Located in an accessible, urban setting, Brightli – Preferred Family Healthcare offers substance use and behavioral health treatment rooted in community support. As a nonprofit provider, the focus is on making care approachable and affordable, with residential, outpatient, and telehealth services available to meet clients where they are.

Trauma-Informed and Integrated Support

Programs combine individual, group, and family counseling with relapse prevention and life-skills development. Trauma-related counseling, suicide prevention services, and support for co-occurring mental health conditions are embedded throughout treatment, ensuring clients receive care that addresses both substance use and emotional safety.

Creative Arts and School-Based Services

Through A.R.T.C. (Achieving Recovery, Resiliency & Responsibility Through Creativity), clients use art, music, and performance to explore emotions and practice coping strategies. School-based programs expand access by offering counseling and prevention services directly on campus, helping young people maintain stability in their daily environments.

Family and Real-Life Recovery Resources

Families are engaged through therapy and education, while clients can access peer mentoring, employment counseling, and social-skills training. These resources tie recovery to practical, everyday needs and help sustain progress beyond treatment. Sliding-fee scales, insurance acceptance, and inclusive services, such as sign language interpretation, further reinforce the facility’s mission to make recovery accessible.
