An Alcohol Treatment Center: The History of Brighton's Addiction Treatment Clinic Brighton Hospital’s reputation as a nationally leading addiction treatment center began when we first opened our clinic in the early 1950s with the goal of mending the lives of those suffering from alcoholism. In the years following World War II, many veterans returned home with alcohol problems. Harry Henderson, chair of the Michigan Liquor Control Commission, determined to help, teamed with a number of community leaders to fight the human and social consequences of alcohol abuse and addiction. They formed the Michigan Alcoholic Rehabilitation Foundation in 1950 with the goal of establishing a model clinic for alcoholics. One of Henderson’s colleagues was Bill Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous.
