Addiction is a chronic, relapsing condition, and continued drug use can alter the user’s brain chemistry, making it increasingly difficult to exert control over their substance use.1 Finding the right drug and alcohol rehab center can mean the difference between life and death, as continued substance abuse increases the risk of fatal overdose or accidents while intoxicated.
If you’re a Michigan resident or you’re seeking to travel to MI for rehab, read on to find out how to begin your journey.
Employees are recovering addicts, so they know exactly how you feel and how to help you succeed. they also have a family day with classes and counseling for the whole family available.
Excellent family involvement and education re: addiction, great halfway house, first facility to introduce us to Vivitrol via their newsletter (after our daughter had left). Forward thinking. Not necessarily their fault (by law), but our daughter left facility without their knowledge with an addict she met there and we had no idea where she was. Created all kinds of stress for us and risk for her. Undermined all the progress she'd made. Our daughter has been sober and drug free for nearly 3 years. While we can't credit Brighton with her recovery (it represents a combination of several factors), I will always recall Brighton as the facility where we gained the most useful knowledge about addiction and its effect on brain chemistry, and ultimately learned about Vivitrol, which was instrumental in helping our daughter fight her Heroin addiction. Our daughter had been to other rehab facilities and detox centers and this was the first that offered new insight and thinking beyond the 12-Step programs. It's astonishing that the addiction recovery community was satisfied with that kind of success rate and essentially built in failure by promising every incoming rehab patient that "relapse is part of recovery." No wonder the heroin epidemic has reached the level it has.
Misusing drugs and alcohol can lead to a number of negative consequences such as health problems, crime, addiction, and death.
In Michigan, the misuse of opioids continues to be a major public health concern. Consider the following statewide statistics:
Visiting multiple doctors in order to receive new prescriptions, or “doctor shopping,” is just one warning sign that you may be heading down the path to addiction.
Substance use disorder is characterized by a compulsion to continue using drugs or alcohol despite harmful consequences such as physical and mental health problems, financial hardship, legal troubles, and close calls with overdose or other near-fatal accidents.
Through evidence-based methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing, addiction can be managed and treated over the long-term. Treatment can occur in a variety of settings, including inpatient residential facilities, outpatient office visits, 12-step programs and other group meetings, intensive outpatient services, and partial hospitalization programs.

If cost is a barrier to treatment for you, you are not alone. Millions of Americans need addiction treatment every year and do not receive the proper care because of cost and other factors.
However, there are many ways to finance your rehab and get the care you need and deserve. For example, many centers offer sliding scale payment plans that allow you to pay what you can based on your income and financial circumstances. Other centers may offer financing so that you don’t have to pay the entire cost upfront.
As you research drug and alcohol rehab centers, ask about programs or scholarships for low-income, uninsured, or homeless individuals, depending on your situation. Other options you could consider to help cover costs include:
If you or someone you love is having an emergency related to potential overdose or an accident caused by drug impairment, call 911 immediately. Your local emergency services agency is best suited to provide immediate assistance.
