BrightQuest: ClearBridge Social Rehabilitation Program
Our purpose is to provide a transitional residential program designed for persons who are able to take part in programs in the general community, but who, without the support of counseling, as well as the therapeutic community, would be at risk of returning to the hospital. This program may employ a variety of staffing patterns and is for persons who may be expected to move toward a more independent living setting within approximately three months to one year. The planned length of stay in the program shall be in accordance with the resident’s assessed need, but not to exceed one (1) year; however, a length of stay not exceeding a maximum total of 18 months is permitted to ensure successful completion of the treatment plan and appropriate referral.

BrightQuest: Semi-Independent Living Program

BrightQuest: Transitional Outpatient Program
BrightQuest’s Transitional Outpatient program is reserved for BrightQuest clients who have completed the semi-independent living program and are ready to transition to independent, non-staff supported living. We see this as a natural step in the process of building a healthy life outside of hospitals and inpatient treatment programs, a step some may refer to as the “maintenance stage” of recovery. Clients at this point have generally demonstrated a sustained ability to manage their symptoms and medication responsibly, require minimal supervision or intervention to maintain their therapeutic gains, have developed proficiency in household maintenance and upkeep, uphold healthy social connections, work or go to school consistently, manage their money responsibly, and have taken initiative in not only their own recovery, but helping others recover as well.

The VisionQuest program has been designed for clients who need a higher level of care and supervision while they focus on stabilization, symptom education and management, skill building and independent life skill development.

Brother Benno’s Center
Brother Benno’s was started by Harold and Kay Kutler as a Soup Kitchen in downtown Oceanside. They named it after Brother Benno Garrity, a Benedictine monk who was well known for his tireless service to the poor in the Oceanside area. The first meal was served on October 21, 1983; and Brother Benno himself made a big cauldron of soup at his abbey and brought it to the little house that bore his name. For the first few years, those who came to the Kitchen were mainly street people. Now most of our guests are the working poor (parents and children who struggle on a daily basis for their most basic needs), the disabled, and low-income senior citizens. In order to provide these needs, Brother Benno’s has expanded its services beyond food
