Treatment for Working Professionals

Learn More

When the high-stakes pressure of a career or personal challenges leads to substance use or mental health concerns, you deserve a recovery partner that understands the specific culture, protections, and requirements of your trade.

Brighton Recovery Center provides a supportive environment specifically designed for working professionals. Our professional tracks are built on a foundation of dual-diagnosis care, addressing both addiction and the underlying mental health factors—such as high-stress environments or physical toll—that often accompany it.

Compassionate Guidance

Specialized Support for Union Members and Aviation Professionals

We collaborate with employee assistance programs (EAPs) and union referrals. Our specialized liaisons serve as a single point of contact to ensure that your transition into care is seamless, confidential, and respectful of your professional status.

Aviation: We are HIMS-certified and are experienced in working with specialized programs such as the Flight Attendant Drug and Alcohol Program (FADAP) and provide support for pilots, mechanics, Air Traffic Control, and other non-safety sensitive aviation professions.

Evidence-Based Clinical Excellence

Our clinical protocol is trauma-focused. We recognize that many union professionals have experienced high-pressure situations or workplace trauma that can fuel the cycle of illness. To address this, we utilize a range of proven therapeutic modalities:

  • Individual & Family Therapy: Patients meet with their primary therapist for a minimum of two individual sessions per week, along with weekly family or couples sessions.
  • Specialized Modalities: Our Masters-level therapists (LCSW, CMHC, LMFT) utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
  • 12-Step Integration: We incorporate a 12-step philosophy into our treatment process, helping patients build a support network that extends far beyond their time in our facility.

Transportation Assistance and Professional Support

We understand that navigating leave, disability, and union benefits can be complex. Our team handles the administrative details so you can focus entirely on your recovery:

  • Transportation Assistance: Our admissions team can help you navigate transportation arrangements and coordinate airport transfers to our facility, making your transition into treatment as smooth as possible.
  • Back-to-Work Program: Our Back-to-Work Program provides a supportive setting where clients can access treatment, housing, and work opportunities in one place, allowing them to continue working while prioritizing their recovery.
  • Detox Coordination: If detoxification is required, our team can help coordinate access to an appropriate detox program based on each client’s individual needs and circumstances.
  • Administrative Advocacy: We process FMLA and disability paperwork immediately to ensure quick submission and approval.
  • Continuity of Care: For those returning to their home locals, our clinical team works with providers in your area to ensure a comprehensive discharge plan that maintains the consistency of your care.

Wellness and Recreation

Brighton extends beyond clinical sessions. We offer a structured environment that promotes physical and emotional well-being:

  • Holistic Wellness: Daily opportunities for yoga, meditation, and stress-reduction work with our dedicated specialists.
  • On-Site Fitness: Access to a fully equipped gym to maintain the physical conditioning required for demanding union roles.
  • Experiential Therapy: A safe, supportive environment to confront past trauma, strengthen self-esteem, and foster lasting emotional growth on the path to recovery.

Located just a short drive from the Salt Lake City International Airport, our campus is nestled against the beautiful Utah mountains, offering a peaceful retreat from the noise of the job site or the terminal.

  • Tranquil Environment: Green spaces provide a peaceful backdrop for reflection and recovery.
  • Private Accommodations: Single rooms and private bathrooms are available to ensure comfort and privacy.
  • Nutritional Excellence: Menus are designed by a licensed nutritionist, with fresh, healthy meals prepared daily.
