Britelife Recovery at Hanover

Integrated Detox and Residential Treatment

BriteLife Recovery at Hanover provides 24-hour, medically supervised detox and residential care for adults recovering from substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. Treatment begins with comprehensive assessment and a customized plan built around each client’s needs. Clinical therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, and 12-step facilitation are paired with medications for addiction treatment (MAT) when needed to support stabilization and reduce relapse risk.

Trauma-Informed, Holistic Approach

The program combines evidence-based treatment with a trauma-responsive framework that helps clients address both the psychological and emotional aspects of addiction. Therapists trained in trauma care guide clients through individual and group counseling, mindfulness, and art therapy to build coping skills and self-awareness. Specialized programming supports veterans, active-duty service members, and seniors, ensuring care is responsive to diverse life experiences and treatment goals.
