BrightView

Thank you to all our amazing healthcare executives! We appreciate everything you do at BrightView to help our patients and team members thrive.💛

Some of our BrightView team members celebrated Pride this past weekend in Northern Kentucky. We love to see our team spreading the word about BrightView and celebrating diversity!🏳️‍🌈

We know that recovery is not an easy journey. That's why when our patients hit a new recovery milestone, we celebrate their success. Here are just a few patient recognition certificates from Warren, Ohio.🌟

LGBTQIA+ people seeking treatment for an alcohol or substance use disorder face unique challenges that can prevent their sustained recovery.

This is just one reason why LGBTQIA+ patients experience higher rates of alcohol and substance use disorders. But despite a well-documented need for culturally competent, inclusive addiction treatment programs, these patients often find their options are limited.

Join BrightView’s Amy Aydelotte, Director of New Market Development, Jennifer Curran, Addiction Medicine Advanced Practitioner, and Kendra Collins, Case Manager as they discuss how providers can ensure their addiction treatment is considerate of sexual orientation and gender identity.

Attendees will:
• Discuss why LGBTQIA+ patients experience higher rates of addiction
• Learn how bias and stigma impact patient outcomes
• Identify the challenges preventing inclusive treatment
• Understand how to create a safe and supportive environment

This forum includes an open discussion where attendees can ask questions of our presenters.

For November, Ohio's Shining Bright Winner is Kandy Wolf, a nurse in Georgetown, OH. Kandy goes above and beyond for each patient. She is kind, empathetic, and truly listens to what the patient says. She is patient and compassionate with each person who crosses her path. When patients arrive, they typically ask if Kandy is available because something new and exciting happens in their lives. In other instances, they share hurdles and barriers they are facing. Kandy takes time, who rarely has time, to make their experience count. She is the sturdy and unwavering foundation for so many of our patients. We cannot thank her enough for her work every day. Thank you, Kandy, for everything you do to support our patients on their road to recovery!

The Gleaner in Henderson, KY, highlights BrightView's premier substance use disorder treatment.

"At BrightView, a local outpatient treatment provider in Henderson, new patients can schedule appointments through a 24/7 call center or online. The treatment center accepts walk-ins on weekdays from 8 am to 3 pm. Patients can get medication, counseling, and social services support immediately.
Addiction treatment at an outpatient center is always less expensive than a residential facility, and not just because a larger percentage of care is covered by insurance. There's no need to pay for meals, housing, 24/7 care, and activities."

Outpatient programs make addiction treatment more accessible, affordable Most people struggling with addiction do not need to be hospitalized. They can often be successfully treated on an outpatient basis in their community.

This week BrightView will share ways to maintain your recovery during the holidays. The holidays can be physically, mentally, and financially demanding but with the appropriate resources, you can continue your sober journey and enjoy the festivities too!

BrightView's newest center in Benton is officially open today! We are so excited to be a part of this beautiful community!
