BriteLife Recovery, a leading provider of detox and residential substance use treatment, has announced the acquisition of Summit Behavioral Health, a community-based intensive outpatient program (IOP) in Princeton Junction. The acquisition marks BriteLife Recovery’s first expansion into outpatient programming.
With this transition, Summit Behavioral Health’s IOP will join BriteLife Recovery’s broader treatment network. The program provides flexible, structured treatment during daytime and evening hours.
Summit Behavioral Health will also benefit from additional resources, including BriteLife Recovery’s transportation services, alumni programming, BALM (Be a Loving Mirror) Family Recovery Program and expanded clinical training and supervision.
“BriteLife Recovery is committed to providing exceptional clinical care across the full continuum of treatment,” said Dr. Jennifer Richards, chief clinical officer of BriteLife Recovery. “Integrating our model of care into an outpatient setting ensures clients receive the same robust, relationship-centered treatment found in our residential programs, delivered with the flexibility needed to support long-term engagement and sustained recovery.”
“For more than 10 years, Summit Behavioral Health has been a local leader in intensive outpatient addiction treatment,” said Courtney Feldscher, clinical director of Summit Behavioral Health. “Joining BriteLife Recovery strengthens that legacy and expands the support we can offer to individuals and families throughout the region.”
BriteLife Recovery and Summit Behavioral Health will host a Community Open House on Thursday, Dec. 11 from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Princeton Junction facility. Attendees may tour the center, meet the care team and learn more about the expanded services now available.
