About BrightQuest San Diego
BrightQuest Treatment Center in San Diego provides a long-term, community-based environment with the typical duration of stay being 12 months. They specialize in complicated psychiatric diagnoses including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, but they also treat a wide range of mental health problems and co-occurring disorders. Brightquest's mission is to help their patients become as self-sufficient as possible, thus they teach life skills such as setting realistic educational and career goals and preparing for a job interview. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and dialectical behavior therapy are some of the other evidence-based treatments they use (DBT).
BrightQuest San Diego focuses heavily on family integration in their program planning. They have weekly family therapy sessions, biweekly family educational groups, and bimonthly family weekends. Some other unique therapies they offer include adventure therapy, equine therapy, nutrition counseling, and a Rock to Recovery music program where clients form “bands” and write and perform songs. BrightQuest’s sunny San Diego location has an outdoor pool and a peaceful atmosphere that is optimal during recovery. They are accredited by The Joint Commission and accept many forms of private insurance.
