Halfway Housing Program

One of our many addiction care services at Ascension Brighton Center for Recovery is the Halfway Housing Program.

Ascension Brighton Center for Recovery in Brighton, Michigan, provides living accommodations through our Halfway Housing Program. The program serves men and women with reliable housing options and stabilization during early recovery after your initial addiction treatment. 

A first step away from dependency

Ascension Brighton Center for Recovery, Brighton, Michigan, is an addiction treatment center for adults providing 24/7 care.

A sober housing option for patients living in recovery

For any patient, returning home too soon can be detrimental to the success of addiction recovery. When you choose Ascension Brighton Center for Recovery’s transitional housing option, you’ll get a highly structured environment that builds upon the progress you’ve made during substance use or alcohol treatment. Participating in the Halfway Housing Program can be the final step in successful treatment. Residents will find comfort and support living among others who are on the same path to recovery.

When you are in the Halfway Housing Program, your recovery will be supported by many of the Ascension Brighton Center for Recovery inpatient services. Although residents continue their recovery on an outpatient basis and with greater independence, the support resources we provide may be beneficial. 

Resources include:

  • Daily educational classes
  • Substance use disorder counseling in a group setting
  • Volunteer service opportunities and job skills training
