Brighton Recovery Center for Women looks to expand their alcohol and drug services


Brighton Center, Inc. has entered into a purchase agreement with the Diocese of Covington to purchase 50 acres surrounding the property at 5161 Skyline Drive in Campbell County. This agreement will allow Brighton Center to begin the planning stages for an expansion of the Brighton Recovery Center for Women. This successful program in Florence provides long-term housing and supportive recovery services for women in recovery from drug or alcohol use.

Since opening in 2008, the Brighton Recovery Center has focused on peer driven recovery, intensive
case management, and a holistic continuum of care. The women in this program are accountable to
each other and program requirements, including remaining drug-free.

The Brighton Recovery Center has maintained some of the most impactful statewide outcomes among
the graduates of the program including a significant reduction in the use of illicit substances, a
significant decrease in criminal justice involvement, increase in employment, and attainment of stable
housing.

“With the need for recovery services still being great in the Northern Kentucky area, we believe this
expansion will help relieve existing waiting lists and save lives. We are hopeful that this potential
expansion will allow more individuals to receive the necessary treatment for the disease of addiction
and become successful members of this community,” said Tammy Weidinger, Brighton Center President
and CEO.

Women at the Brighton Recovery Center are connected to an array of additional Brighton Center
programs and services to build and maintain life skills. Workforce Development services offered include
assistance with personal branding, resume writing, job searching, and interviewing skills. Financial
Services provides the women with financial education such as money management skills, budgeting,
credit building, and credit repair along with providing one-on- one financial sessions. The women are also
connected with classes on topics such as maintaining healthy relationships, parenting skills, relapse
prevention, nutrition, and coping mechanisms to maintain recovery.

Brighton Center’s Mission is to create opportunities for individuals and families to reach self-
sufficiency through family support services, education, employment, and leadership.
