BrightView Health has reached a record number of patients recovering from substance use disorders ā€” more than 5,000 in Kentucky alone.

Since opening its first Kentucky location in 2020, BrightView has expanded to offer its addiction treatment program to Kentuckians in all regions of the state. With 17 centers, most residents in the commonwealth now live within 30 minutes of a BrightView center. 

BrightView patients have seen a material decrease in arrests and justice system involvement and reduced use of emergency medical services throughout the state, according to a BrightView news release.

BrightView Health’s NKY locations are in Covington and Elsmere.

BrightView’s medical, behavioral health, social services and laboratory staff have provided more than 156,000 hours of behavioral health and more than 73,000 hours of medical care to the states’ most vulnerable populations. The scope of services helps patients rebuild their lives as part of their recovery and achieve key goals like completing high school equivalency, finding employment, navigating the child and family services system, purchasing reliable transportation, and more. 

BrightView plans to open additional centers in Kentucky by the end of the year. The centers will serve patients in the Lexington and Louisville regions.
