BriteLife Recovery

Britelife is a wonderful place. The staff is absolutely wonderful. They really care about their residents’ recovery. They just hired a new Chef, Brad, and his sous chef, Samone, provided us with delicious meals. The Easter spread was amazing! The house sits on a pond, and the great for some nature therapy. Mrs. Quincy is a great therapist, and very knowledgeable of addiction and healing your body, mind, and spirit. The nurses were very kind, especially Nurse Jenn. She really cares about the residents there. Mrs. Lisa was the house manager and did everything she could to help us in anyway she could. Shout out to Shakera and Shannon, the best BHTs… Hands Down! Can’t wait to see y’all for the alumni annual Dinner!!! Hugs and Loves! Tabitha ❤️

I just spent a little over a month here, and I have to say it was definitely one of, if not, the best program I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to quite a few. The campus is beautiful and many of the staff, therapists, nurses and doctors went the extra mile to make my stay here extremely positive and to make me feel like I was truly In Good hands. I really enjoyed most of groups, counseling sessions and activities that we had, and I know now that this place made a positive impact on me in many ways. I’ve been home a little over a week now and my life is absolutely better. Im going to meetings, staying clean and have learned how to communicate effectively again. I made a lot of friends whom I will never forget, and got a chance to be introduced to the local recovery scene here on Hilton Head Island (I’m a local) by going to outside meetings, which I am now actively a part of. The only real downside was communication, especially between the specialists, case workers, techs, nurses and doctors, which unfortunately is the case with many places like this. All I can say about that is “the squeaky wheel is the one that gets the grease” so if you come here and you don’t feel that you are getting the attention you need, just make sure that you advocate for yourself and don’t feel bad being persistent or “annoying”, you have to do some things for yourself and make your voice heard in some situations. Once I figured that out I was able to get everything that I needed in a timely manner, but not everyone there was as fortunate as I in that regard. Besides that, it was a great stay. I originally went just for detox and by my 3rd day made the decision to stay the entire 34 days. Having TVs in the rooms helped me a lot with my usually sleeping issues in places like this. The mens campus is beautiful. It has a pool, a backyard with plenty of room to do your own thing (I played guitar and took lots of time appreciating the wildlife). I had a great counselor and enjoyed the groups done by most of them. Other notable shoutouts were the BHT staff, especially the BHT lead, who would ALWAYS do everything he could to make each client feel at home and taken care of. Many of the nurses took extra time to care for me (I recently had a surgery before going there) and made me feel safe and aware of how my healing process was going. I did have some problems with a couple of the nurses who didn’t make me feel heard, but learned again how to advocate for myself and get the attention I needed, especially when I had to go to the hospital when I ended up getting an infection and needed my surgery area drained. Most of the groups were very useful, although some of them just felt like “filler” depending on who ran them. The chefs were very involved in our community, and attended every community meeting to make sure we all were getting what we wanted. The fridge was always stocked and we had many options for snacks at any given time. The only thing I feel the food was lacking was a decent vegetarian/vegan menu, as there only seemed to be 3 rotating options for clients with those dietary restrictions. Hopefully in the future they expand on that. Other communication issues involved the doctors and nurse practitioners, who never all seemed to be on the same page. For example, I had a very expensive refrigerated medication delivered there, and instead of being placed in a fridge that day like it should had been, it sat overnight in one of the offices and risked potentially going bad. Thankfully the company who sent it filled the box with ice packs and it was still usable, but this is just an example of those communication gray areas. Just make sure if you come here you are vigilant and check up on important things like that. If you want recovery, you will find it here. Like any place like this, you must be willing, open minded and patient to get the results in which you seek, but all of (or at least most of) the tools you need are available here in some capacity. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone looking to change their lives for the better.

This facility was amazing and absolutely saved my life. The head of house Miss Lisa is amazing and gives all she’s got into this program. She truly cares along with all the other staff and therapists here. The behavioral techs are all awesome. This was absolutely a life changing experience to me that I couldn’t have done without the nursing staff, therapists and techs supporting me along the way. I’ve been to quite a few facilities and this is by far the best. It works if you work it!!

Bright life has been the best experience. The staff have treated me exceptionally; the food was out of this world. The friends I have been able to foster, through the intentional fellowship provided by staff, has been such a gift. The counselors really focus on helping us recognize the triggers that sets us off; however, they masterfully inculcate the tools necessary for us to continue to pursue our sobriety. I would recommend BriteLife to anyone!

Britelife saved my life. I was an addict for 10plus years and drove myself to Britelife Recovery. Like I said, Britelife and all the staff, Lisa, Lori, Shannon, Naomi, Bri, Caroline, Julia, Quincy, Angela, Carol, Rhonda, and all the nursing staff and all the techs and counselors, they all are AMAZING!!! But most of all, Justin from admissions saved my life!!! Thank you Justin. I would recommend anyone that is looking for help with their addiction to call Britelife Recovery!!! I love all the staff and will not forget my first day of my journey, March 6th 2025!! Thank you Brite Lite Recovery!!!
