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.

When I was looking for a new drug rehabilitation center to send my daughter after she relapsed this last time a friend of mine suggested Serenity Point Recovery. She had sent her daughter there a year before and her daughter was still clean and doing really well. I ended up speaking to her daughter a little and she told me some of the things the program offered and I was really impressed with all the different things they offer there in order to help their clients not just get off drugs but help them change their life completely. Her daughter seemed so happy and told me that going to Serenity helped her to see that she didn’t need the drugs she was on to be happy. That was a big thing for me and I immediately tried to get my daughter to treatment there. It took a while to get her to agree to go but she finally did. She also agreed to really do the program there and get everything out of it that she could. The staff there were really good about staying in touch with me about how my daughter was doing on her program and if she was having any problems. It was such a difference from the other programs she had gone to where it was impossible to get in touch with any of the case workers. My daughter had a couple problems throughout her program but honestly that’s to be expected. If she just breezed through the whole thing it would have concerned me more. Since she’s been home after graduating her program she’s done extremely well. Most of my fears about her relapsing were allayed right away. When she got home she immediately started going to her meetings and looking for work. When she did get a job, she didn’t mess up there and is still working at the same place. She’s doing wonderful and it’s amazing seeing my daughter this happy again.
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. If you are having suicidal thoughts and don’t know where to turn, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.
