About Brightside Recovery Ltd

Brightside Recovery is an outpatient opioid use disorder treatment provider serving patients across Illinois, including the Washington area, and Ohio, through in-person clinics and telehealth visits. They pair medication-assisted treatment with counseling and take a harm-reduction-first approach, treating dependence on fentanyl, heroin, prescription opiates, and 7-OH, a concentrated kratom derivative. Care is built around access, with same-day appointments, walk-ins welcome, and no wait lists. After an intake appointment, each patient receives an individualized treatment plan.

Medication options include Suboxone, Sublocade, Brixadi, and Vivitrol, so patients can choose between buprenorphine-based and naltrexone-based care. For people coming off fentanyl, they use the Bernese Method, a gradual buprenorphine microdosing induction over seven to ten days that helps limit withdrawal during the transition. They also run continuation programs for patients already on Suboxone or Vivitrol and support those looking to move away from methadone. Individual and group counseling focuses on building healthy coping skills, and they connect patients with local partners for additional medical, counseling, and recovery resources.
