Outpatient Clinician (Part-Time or PRN)

About Us

Brighter Start Health provides evidence-based, trauma-focused treatment for substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders. Through a transitional model that provides a selection of structured environments, clients can seamlessly transition from higher levels of care to independence. We offer a partial hospitalization program (PHP), intensive outpatient program (IOP), and outpatient (OP) program.

Our addiction treatment center offers an unrivaled variety of therapies and approaches so clients can find what best supports their recovery. Our clinical program includes traditional therapies such as individual, group, and family therapy as well as alternative approaches such as EMDR, yoga, and meditation.

We personally tailor our programs to fit each individual seeking care. Our therapists, counselors, and medical staff understand that various factors such as your family, background, and experiences contribute to addiction. Since these factors are different for everyone, treatment will be different for each individual patient.
