Our Program

Our Program

We offer an integrated, holistic and individualized approach to healing within a therapeutic community environment.

BrightQuest is a residential treatment facility for individuals with complex mental illnesses. We began treating Schizophrenia in 1979 with the goal of helping clients learn independent living skills. Over the years we have expanded our unique therapeutic model to treat many other diagnoses. BrightQuest develops comprehensive treatment plans tailored to the specific needs of each client.

Our Mental Health Treatment Specialties


Specializing in complex psychiatric conditions, BrightQuest provides compassionate care to a vastly underserved population.

With a typical length of stay exceeding 12 months, our clients have the opportunity to both learn and practice the relationship and life skills needed to take charge of their lives and reach the highest possible level of independence by being an integral member of a supportive community.
