BriteLife Recovery – South Carolina

BriteLife has been an excellent resource for our Center to refer clients to needing inpatient care. They have a superb substance use disorder treatment program as evidenced by the client's successes in their recovery journey post-discharge. They work well with clinicians to coordinate care for the client's benefit and assist their family members and include them in the process which bolsters success rates. Bret Stansfield and his colleagues will go above and beyond assisting the client gain access to their services by: arranging transportation; jumping through the insurance hoops to get coverage; and providing a caring & nurturing tone from the first phone call to assist the client get to their front door. Thank you to the entire Staff for your excellent work and care for those in need.

BriteLife is a wonderful place, best facility I’ve seen and been to. The staff is great and they all really care and want to help, the groups are in depth and relevant to all struggling with addiction. The living quarters are wonderful as is the food. Almost feels like a nice all inclusive Hilton so you can focus on you and try to learn and grow and better yourself. I 100% recommend this place and the staff will work hard to get you here and get you set up with aftercare for the future!

The Women's program at Britelife changed my life! The individualized therapy and family therapy made such a big difference for me. It was the first time I was able to work through a lot of my traumas that kept me in the grips of addiction. The facility is clean and has a beautiful view. Plus, the food was great and they were very receptive to requests. I highly recommend BriteLife!

Britelife was a life changer for me. Unfortunately I have been to other facilities in the past and wasn’t treated with such dignity and respect like I did from Britelife in Hilton Head SC. Prior to leaving the facility, I did a survey and mentioned all the staff except for one area. The Nursing staff. They were amazing and extremely helpful along with the rest of staff, Counselors, BHT’s, kitchen staff and the maintenance crew. I would highly recommend Britelife, whether it’s PA or SC. It made all the difference this time around. 👍👍👍👍👍💯

I am so grateful for having the opportunity to go to BriteLife and get help for my alcohol addiction. I couldn't do it on my own. Through medically assisted detox to moving to the women's house, it was challenging and incremental to me safely achieving sobriety. The house and grounds are beautiful, the therapists work hard and provide a lot of individual and group care with a variety of behavioral techniques. Well balanced hot meals are provided three times a day and prepared by a professional chef and team. We always had a clean house, bathrooms, bedding and sheets. We went on outings to AA or NA meetings. We had opportunities to go to the gym, attend yoga, attend art therapy, participate in a drum circle, and get acupuncture. We had special outings on weekends where we would go to the beach, a park, go to a movie, get a manicure or pedicure, and we even had Himalayan Salt Therapy. In house therapy lasted from 9am to 6pm Monday through Friday and went from 9am to 3pm on Saturday. On Sundays we could go to church and we had some form of AA/NA every day. We were kept busy and were given a decent amount of supervised down time. There is always a nurse on duty as well as a residential manager. We were supervised at all times, but it didn't feel like we were imprisoned. All of our needs were taken care of including doctors visits and tobacco/vape runs once a week. As for people that are discharged early, there are people that come in that don't want to be there and act out and make it hard for the people that do want to be there. Those disruptions compromise the rehabilitation of the people that want to be there. Those people that can't tolerate the environment leave voluntarily or they did something egregious and need to leave for the safety of the patients and staff as a whole. From BriteLife and my 6 day detox and 28 day program, I chose to go ahead to Lantana Recovery to get more reinforcement. The combination of the two rehab facilities is extremely powerful in the road to recovery. Personally, I really value my time at BriteLife and the tools I gained from being there I will use in my life always. Going from BriteLife to Lantana is the best thing I've done for my personal well-being in my adult life. I actually do feel different and I act differently. I'm no longer using alcohol and don't want to ever again. I could never have had this type of transformation on my own. I'm eternally grateful. I'd like to thank the staff individually, but anonymity is a huge part of this process. Thank you, BriteLife.
