About Brightli

Brightli in Columbia, Missouri, offers addiction recovery services through Burrell Behavioral Health, a community mental health center that serves more than 40,000 clients across 18 Missouri counties. They treat both youth and adults in central and southwest Missouri, and their person-centered approach builds each plan around the individual, addressing substance use and mental health concerns together when both are present. Their care includes general outpatient addiction treatment, social setting detox, and medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder. They accept most insurance and offer discounted fees and financial assistance for people who qualify.

Their withdrawal management program follows ASAM criteria and provides medical supervision to ease symptoms and keep people safe as they come off substances. For opioid use disorder, they use a Medication First model that pairs medication with psychosocial support, an approach linked to better treatment retention and fewer overdoses. Counseling is delivered by a multidisciplinary team and includes individual therapy for adults, therapy for children as young as three, family therapy, and group sessions where clients learn from peers and practice new skills. Because their services are connected, someone receiving addiction care can also get mental health treatment and practical life skills training in one coordinated plan.
