Charitable Contributions: Great Things Happen When You Contribute to our Charity
When you make a charitable contribution to the Brighton National Addiction Foundation, you become an important partner in providing exemplary care for patients and families recovering from addiction.
Your charitable contributions will help us:
- Build and expand health care facilities. Our campus exceeds 90 acres including Lake Serenity, wooded areas, and historic structures. Clinical facilities all need updating and restoration to keep pace with hospital innovations and expansion.
- Help patients who need added days of residential care. In the world of alcohol and substance abuse, detoxification, and healing, research has shown a clear correlation between the length of stay in a rehabilitation center and the long-term success of the patient’s recovery. Insurance carriers, however, do not reimburse behavioral health and substance abuse programs as generously as they cover a patient’s medical and surgical needs. The Patient Extended Care fund provides for this gap.
- Provide continuing education opportunities for our drug and alcohol treatment staff. Inaugurated in 2006, the Brighton Hospital Addiction Fellowship is America’s first clinically based addiction fellowship program. It increases the quality and quantity of medical staff and supports the vision of the hospital as a national center of excellence and an innovator in alcohol and drug treatment and education.
- Help collaborative research programs with leading medical and nursing schools. Funds are needed to sponsor research programs while they develop the resources needed to apply for extramural grants from government agencies and foundations.
- Provide scholarships for our youth drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Through regional partnership, the Teen Drug Rehab Program enables more teens, ages 13-17, and their families to get the help they desperately need. Scholarships provide assessment, intensive outpatient treatment for three months and aftercare.
- Fund and continue a variety of other programs, such as our clergy recovery series, our 30-day residential treatment series, our halfway house expansions, the restoration of our 1939 chapel, and the relocation and expansion of the gift shop and bookstore, all which keep our hospital a leader in drug and alcohol treatment, and the rehabilitation center of choice over other highly regarded chemical dependency hospitals.
Ways to Contribute
There are several ways to make a charitable contribution to our charity. We accept gifts made by cash, check or credit card (MasterCard, VISA, Discover or American Express). Contribute to Projects Needing Support
The Brighton National Addiction Foundation is seeking contributions from its friends and donors for a number of initiatives. Contribute to the Tree of Hope
Located in the Medical Building main lobby, the Tree of Hope is a perfect way to make a contribution to our charity and create a permanent memorial for a loved one. Contributions support the Development Fund, which provides extended treatment for patients unable to pay privately for their care.
Contribute at our Fund Raising Events
Brighton Hospital’s special events help solicit contributions and raise funds needed for programs and facilities, patients without insurance coverage, and training and research. Contribute as a Volunteer
In addition to financial contributions, many people choose to donate their time as volunteers. Since the program began, volunteers have been a significant part of new beginnings for many patients and families. How can income from your charitable trusts or other gifts of charity help in the fight against addiction?
 The Brighton National Addiction Foundation (BNAF) seeks your charitable gifts and trusts to support its fight against all forms of substance abuse. Dedicated to the mission of Brighton Hospital, one of America’s oldest and most experienced substance abuse treatment facilities and the first to be licensed in Michigan, the Foundation offers ways for individuals, corporations and grant makers to invest in our national leadership through charitable trusts. Income received through your trusts and gifts allow us to continue to be a leading source of hope through prevention, patient care, aftercare, education and research. By establishing a charitable trust for the BNAF, you can play a pivotal role in the fight against chemical dependency. There are many philanthropic opportunities available for you to be part of the solution. It is with great pleasure that Brighton Hospital welcomes the philanthropic leadership of the Brighton National Addiction Foundation.
