Our staff are very knowledgeable and can answer almost any question, they will spend time with each patient, providing them with all the information they need during this most critical time," adds Dr. Benedetto.
The Ottawa clinic features MAT (medication-assisted treatment) using suboxone, counseling, and psychiatric services, a unique offering.

"Since COVID began, relapses, overdoses, depression, and PTSD have almost doubled. We offer patients options that are realistic, with individualized treatment plans specific to them. Here at BRIGHTSIDE Clinic, we do not force patients into therapies mandated by others. Patients can just get MAT, counseling, IOP (intensive outpatient treatment), attend group meetings, receive psychiatric services, or a combination of their choosing,” remarks Dr. Benedetto.
The BRIGHTSIDE Clinic in Ottawa is located at 634 West Main Street.
