BriteLife Recovery, a provider of detox and residential substance use treatment across the East Coast, has acquired Summit Behavioral Health, a community-based intensive outpatient program (IOP) for addiction treatment located on Quakerbridge Road in West Windsor.
The acquisition strengthens the continuum of care between residential and outpatient services and marks BriteLife Recovery’s first expansion into outpatient programming.
Through 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.”
The combined organization hosts a Community Open House on Thursday, December 11, from noon to 3 p.m. at the facility at 4065 Quakerbridge Road. Attendees may tour the center, meet the care team, and learn more about the expanded services now available. Register at www.britelife.com/njopen.
