Jun. 28—BrightView Willoughby Addiction Treatment Center recently hosted a ribbon cutting to open its facility.
"Its so important that we provide these necessary treatments to the county," Lake County Commissioner John Plecnik said at the event. "It is a very real problem, but BrightView is part of the solution."

"Brightview is very different from other addiction centers," Katelyn Loyd, CDCA operations director for BrightView. "We're non-punitive and harm reduction, we just continue to work with our patients until they are entirely healed."
Loyd said that their staff implement a process for the patient's first two days that includes introduction to their clinical staff and medical providers before being working with them to formulate a step-by-step plan down the road of recovery.
"We do outpatient treatment and when a patient comes into see us we preform a variety of assessments both medically and clinically to determine what their needs are," Loyd, said. "There is a lot of autonomy when it comes to a patient and their care so they are very much involved in how we treat them.
"Treating someone is a collaboration amongst our clinicians, our councilors and then our medical providers our doctors, our nurses."
Loyd said that no matter how long recovery may take their facility will continue to work with each individual until they are no longer needed.

Loyd says the facility can treat a variety of aliments and disorders from drug and alcohol abuse.
The new health center is located at 3886 Mentor Ave.
