Brighton Recovery Center

Mountain Campus With Space To Reset

The center is surrounded by landscaped gardens, tall pines, and winding walking paths. Large windows, high ceilings, and multiple indoor relaxation areas help create an open, quiet environment where clients can settle in and decompress. Residential rooms are private or semi-private, and meals are made from scratch by in-house chefs using menus developed by a licensed dietitian. The combination of mountain views, natural light, and comfortable living spaces offers clients a calm setting to focus on early recovery without the distractions of everyday life.

Integrated Care for Substance Use and Mental Health

Residential treatment is structured around simultaneous support for substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. Clients receive weekly visits from medical professionals, medication management, and access to medications for addiction treatment (MAT) when clinically appropriate. Assessments, diagnostics, and daily therapeutic groups help clients understand the underlying factors driving substance use. Individual and family counseling provide space to work on communication, boundaries, and relapse risk.

Experiential and Recreation-Based Therapy

A licensed therapeutic recreation specialist guides clients through hands-on activities that encourage emotional expression and skill-building. These sessions may include art and music activities, role-playing, wilderness challenges, and outdoor outings designed to help clients practice communication, trust, and problem-solving. On campus, clients have access to a full fitness gym, yoga and mindfulness classes, and a game room with ping-pong, foosball, and air hockey. Off-site hikes and adventure-based outings use Utah’s mountain terrain as an extension of the therapeutic environment.

Practical Support for Life Beyond Treatment

Before discharge, case managers work with each person to set goals for employment, school, family responsibilities, and community involvement. Clients participate in life-skills sessions covering communication, time management, and reintegration planning, along with employment counseling or training when needed. Integrated primary care services allow clients to address health concerns that may have been overlooked during active use. Transportation assistance helps ensure clients can complete required medical appointments.
