Medical Wellness Center
Set on the east side of the Peoria area, Brightside Recovery treats adults and adolescents with drug addiction, as well as co-occurring disorders. They use medication-assisted treatment (MAT), along with personalized individual and group counseling therapy visits.
Their MAT options include medications such as Suboxone, Vivitrol, Sublocade, and Brixadi, which help alleviate withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
While Brightside Recovery specializes in treating opioid and heroin addiction, they can treat other drug addictions, including fentanyl and methadone. Brightside Recovery uses a slightly different approach to each drugs.
Brightside Recovery operates on a “harm reduction” model, meaning they do not discontinue treatment if a patient relapses; instead, they work to understand the reasons behind the relapse and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
Recognizing the developmental challenges and pressures faced by adolescents 12 to 17, Brightside uses separate groups and a somewhat different counseling approach. They aim to strengthen familial bonds and support the transition into recovery.
Brightside Recovery offers same-day appointments and telehealth services.
Brightside Recovery’s Peoria location takes only cash payments. Clients with insurance can submit invoices to the insurance companies for reimbursement.
Their naloxone treatments are free.
