Michigan Inpatient Treatment Resources
Here is a list of my recommended inpatient treatment options in Michigan.
Finding treatment can sometimes be extremely difficult, especially if you have never navigated the treatment system. As someone who works in the recovery field and a person in recovery who spent a decade in and out of rehabs in Michigan, I wanted to share some of the top rehabs/treatment providers I have worked with.
Text 810-295-1194 or email connectsmich@gmail.com to connect with someone who can recommend inpatient treatment. Someone will respond within 24 hours. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) published a pamphlet on the steps to accessing substance abuse treatment and five signs to look for in a quality treatment center. You can view that HERE.
Inpatient Treatment Providers
-Bear River Health
231-535-2822 Accepts Medicaid
Male & Female
Bear River is a treatment provider in northern Michigan. I will admit my bias in listing them first because this is where I got sober at. It is also one of the best rehabs I have ever been to. They have a great staff of therapists, peer workers, administration, and nurses that genuinely help. It is also located in a beautiful setting.
-Henry Ford Allegiance Addiction Recovery Center
517-205-4001 Accepts Medicaid
Allegiance is a rehab in Jackson, Michigan that is in a hospital-like setting but provides good substance abuse care. They are especially solid for people that are entering treatment for the first time, as some of their groups are geared towards people who may not have a lot of knowledge on addiction and recovery. They also have really professional and caring staff members.
-Sacred Heart
810-392-2167 Accepts Medicaid
Sacred Heart has a few different campuses in Michigan but a majority of their residential clients go to their facility in Richmond, Michigan. It is a very big program as far as the number of clients so you meet a lot of people. They will provide you with a solid foundation to build recovery upon and set you up for success.
-ATS (Addiction Treatment Services)
800-622-4810 Accepts Medicaid
Located in Traverse City, Michigan, ATS does a spectacular job of helping you get integrated into the recovery community. A lot of people that go up to ATS end up staying in the area after rehab because they find the recovery community up there so welcoming and positive.
-House of Commons
517-244-0393 Accepts Medicaid
House of Commons gets a bad rap from some people due to it being next to the Ingham County Jail and regarded as more correctional-based. But they have rebuilt some of their programming and have a lot of incredible and experienced staff members. Located in Mason, Michigan, it is owned by Community Mental Health.
-Skywood
269-280-4673 Accepts private insurance, no Medicaid
This is a great option for those who have private insurance. Call them to check if your health plan is accepted. They are relatively new and have a beautiful campus in Augusta, Michigan.
-Brighton Center for Recovery
810-227-1211 Accepts private insurance, no Medicaid
Brighton has been around for a while and is very well known. They do not take publicly funded clients and have a hospital-based setting.
Detox
-Bear River Health
231-535-2822 Accepts Medicaid
Bear River also specializes in detox. They do provide MAT.
-Sacred Heart
810-392-2167 Accepts Medicaid
They also provide MAT
-The Recovery Center
517-267-7623 Accepts Medicaid
The Recovery Center does not provide MAT services at their detox.
This is very helpful. Thank you for everything you do.
It always amaze me, but in a negative way i have to say, how sometimes former addicts are so judgmental towards other addicts who still struggle or are already in rehabs... you are in a "power position" at your job now, as an intake coordinator you have to decide who is a good fit to come at Pinnacle and you have to say No to some people im sure. But your decisions should be based on objective reasons. Just because you know a person from back when you both were in active addiction, and you may (or may have not) have had disagreement with them in the past, that is Not a professional Nor ethical way to turn somebody away from their chance to continue with their recovery. Personal reasons to deny somebody, when you are in a job who literaly is supposed to give people a second chance at their sobriety journey, should be set aside. As the therapist at the rehab even said to him, you didnt sound much professional at all, in stating the reason why, (in your own opinion) he isnt a good fit for Pinnacle. But anyway, this place isnt the only recovery house in town, and hopefully he will find more professional people who will give him a chance to continue into his recovery journey, after he complete his current rehab program. I just want to say one last thing, that maybe too often former addicts forget how it feels, that feeling of rejection and judgement that too many addicts in active addiction or early recovery experience daily, and it hurts even more when the judgement comes from somebody who walked in their same shoes but wont think twice before close the door in their face, that same door that was opened for them years before, from somebody who gave them a chance, no matter how bad of a drug addict they were.
