Finding a Substance Abuse Treatment Center in Michigan

Start by contacting your referral center

There are seven Michigan 211 centers across the state, and each provides referrals to substance abuse services within its specific region. A map of the seven service regions and instructions for contacting a Michigan 211 center that serves a particular location are available on the Michigan 211 website. Individuals can also search the Michigan 211 database of mental health and substance abuse resources by first choosing a service type and then entering their location within the state. Results will list local agencies and their services, including the Access Management System (AMS) agency for the selected area.

AMS agencies are publicly-funded organizations that refer individuals to providers that use a sliding fee scale for their services. To be eligible for payment assistance, residents must have either Healthy Michigan, Medicaid, or MI Health Link insurance or else have limited or no insurance coverage. However, residents who do not qualify based on their income or other factors may still receive referrals to other community service providers.

As an additional resource, the Michigan Department of Technology, in partnership with the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, has created a map for residents that shows the locations of all substance abuse agencies, facilities, and programs that are licensed and regulated by the state. After users select the “Substance Use Disorder Care” option, icons will appear on the map at locations where substance abuse services are provided. Clicking on an icon will create a pop-up box listing the name, address, county, facility type, and specialties for that specific location.

Individuals with a substance abuse disorder who need additional support can also join the Michigan State Police (MSP) Angel Program, available at every MSP post in the state of Michigan. Joining is simple — individuals visit a police station during regular hours of operation to request assistance and are accepted as long as they meet admission criteria. As members of the program, individuals receive guidance during professional substance abuse assessment and intake processing, as well as transportation to and from treatment.

Recovering from substance abuse can be expensive. Medicaid services can help low-income Michigan residents cover the costs of treatment. Visit the Michigan Medicaid and CHIP website for further information about eligibility.

    Substance Abuse and Rehab for At-Risk Groups

    Substance Abuse Treatment for Veterans

    Around 40% of Michigan’s homeless veterans have a substance abuse disorder

    According to the Michigan Statewide Homeless Management Information System, 3,734 homeless veterans lived in the state of Michigan in 2017, and 73% of these homeless veterans suffered from a long-term disability. Their disabilities were also grouped by category: 59% of homeless veterans had a mental health condition, 57% had a physical health condition, 40% had a substance abuse disorder, 36% had a chronic health condition, and 3% had a developmental disability.

    Long-Term Disabilities Among Homeless Veterans in Michigan, 2017

    Veterans in Michigan can reach out to their local VA medical center to search for information on substance abuse treatment, including the possibility of a VA-based substance use disorder (SUD) program, in their state. Additionally, they can locate information regarding substance abuse treatment services on the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency website or by reaching out to a Veteran Navigator near them for further assistance connecting with resources.

    Treatment is available for veterans in Michigan who are suffering from a substance use disorder. As of 2017, 91 substance abuse treatment facilities in Michigan – representing 20% of all treatment facilities – catered specifically to veterans.

    For more information, read our guide on Substance Abuse Rehab for Veterans.

    Substance Abuse Treatment for Adolescents

    Adolescents in Michigan use marijuana and alcohol at rates above the national average

    8%

    of adolescents aged 12-17 used marijuana, 2014-2017

    10.8%

    of adolescents aged 12-17 drank alcohol, 2014-2017

    Between 2014 and 2017, 8% of Michigan adolescents aged 12-17 reported engaging in marijuana use in the past month, which was above the national average of 6.8%. A further 10.8% of Michigan adolescents aged 12-17 had consumed alcohol in the past month, only marginally above the national average of 10.1%. Additionally, 1.8% of individuals admitted to a substance abuse treatment program in Michigan in 2017 were aged 12-17.

    Additional Resources for Parents and Teachers

    You can seek out the following resources from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) to gain a better understanding of three of the biggest substance abuse dangers to youth: prescription drug abuse, underage drinking, and marijuana use. Furthermore, check out these NIDA links for teens and parents/teachers about the dangers of substance abuse.

    Co-Occurring Mental Health & Substance Abuse Treatment

    Substance abuse and mental health issues tend to go hand-in-hand – the technical term is “co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders.” The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reported that, in 2017, 45.6% of adults with a substance use disorder also had a mental health disorder, and 18.3% of adults with a mental health disorder also had a substance use disorder. For adolescents in 2017, 35.9% of those with a substance use disorder also had a major depressive episode, while 10.7% of adolescents with a major depressive episode also had a substance use disorder.

    Mental Health Resources & Treatment

    If you or someone you love is suffering from mental health issues, such as depression, PTSD, eating disorders, or severe anxiety, there are many resources from which to receive help.

    Below are a few ways to receive immediate assistance, as advised by MentalHealth.gov:

    Emergency Services: If your life (or someone else’s life) is in danger, always start by dialing 911 to gain immediate access to emergency services.

    Suicide Prevention: The number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is: 800-273-8255. You can also initiate a private live online chat.

    Veterans Crisis Line: Dial the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255 and press “1” to talk to someone immediately. You can also access help with a private online chat or text 838255.

    Here are two ways to find a provider of mental health treatment in Michigan:

    Michigan Department of Health & Human Services: This site has a searchable database of mental health providers.

    Michigan National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI): The NAMI Michigan website has a special section devoted to descriptions of NAMI programs. These include the NAMI Basics Education Program designed for caregivers of children and adolescents with a mental illness.

    Individuals who have both substance use and mental health disorders may benefit from dual-diagnosis rehab facilities. Use the appropriate filter in our tool above to find rehabilitation centers with treatment programs designed to meet the unique challenges posed by co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders.

    Finding Aftercare in Michigan

    Substance abuse aftercare treatment is often overlooked, but it’s one of the most crucial steps in the rehabilitation process. The chances of relapsing after rehab dramatically rise for individuals who try to resume their lives without pursuing further treatment in an aftercare setting. Several different types of aftercare are available for recovering addicts, including follow-up visits for continued therapy, group therapy, and sober living homes. Research shows that long-term participation in aftercare activities dramatically improves the outcome of rehabilitation efforts.

    12-Step Addiction Meetings in Michigan

    Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) designed the 12-step process for individuals recovering from alcohol addiction, and today there are many other 12-step programs for other addictions and issues – Narcotics Anonymous (NA) being just one example.

    Basics of a 12 step meeting

    Contact the appropriate local organization to find an AA or NA meeting near you

    The tool below lists the contact information for local organizations that will connect you to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings near you. Since meeting times and locations change periodically, contact the local groups that coordinate the meetings to ensure that the information is up to date.

    Name City Program Telephone Spanish Hotline

    Sober Living Homes

    Sober living homes (also referred to as recovery residences) are group homes that help recovering addicts transition from treatment facilities to living independently while maintaining their sobriety. These homes can be especially beneficial for individuals who don’t have a supportive and positive environment in which to live after leaving a rehabilitation facility.

    Residents of sober living homes can stay from a few months to several years, as long as they follow house rules and avoid relapse, as these homes typically have a zero-tolerance drug and alcohol policy. Additionally, residents are expected to complete chores, attend mutual support groups, and pay an equal share of the cost of renting the home.

    Some sober living homes are listed in our database, and you can find them by using the appropriate filter in our tool above. You can also check out our guide on sober living homes to learn more about them and to find a certified recovery residence near you.

    Key Indicators of Substance Abuse Issues

    When trying to understand substance abuse issues in a specific area, researchers and policymakers examine “key indicators.” Combined with usage statistics, key indicators can provide a deep level of insight into which substances present the most serious concerns and which demographics can be most impacted by substance abuse. Key indicators of substance abuse issues within the state of Michigan, along with recent, credible statistics, are examined below.

    Over 1.4 million Michigan residents suffer from mental illness every year

    As discussed earlier in this guide, there is a strong link between substance use disorders and mental health disorders. When an individual is afflicted with both of these issues at the same time, health professionals refer to it as co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders or a “dual diagnosis.” Consequently, the prevalence of mental health issues in a given state can also help us to understand the level of substance abuse.

    4.6%

    of Michigan adults had a serious mental illness

    7.4%

    of Michigan adults had a major depressive episode

    From 2017-2018, 4.6% of Michigan adults were afflicted with a serious mental illness, which is on par with the national rate, which is also 4.6%. Among Michigan residents, 7.4% of adults suffered a major depressive episode in the past year, compared to a national average of 7.1%.

    The table below sheds some light on the prevalence of mental health issues in Michigan.

    Mental Health Issues in Michigan by Age and Percentage of Population, 2016-2017
    Ages: 12-17 % of Michigan Population Ages: 18+ % of Michigan Population

    Suicide rates in Michigan are similar to the national average

    The Centers for Disease Control reports that suicide is the leading cause of death in the United States. The suicide rate has risen in nearly every state from 1999 to 2016, with that rate increasing by more than 30% in half of all 50 states since 1999. Suicide is an act that is often linked to substance abuse. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, substance abuse is a primary risk factor for both adults and adolescents who attempt and/or complete suicide, and this is particularly true for at-risk populations.

    Furthermore, the relationship between substance abuse and suicide is multi-faceted and complex. Persons who have substance abuse issues typically also carry other risk factors for suicide, including depression, impulsive behavior, and other struggles with relationships, finances, illness, or unemployment that make them more likely to engage in self-harm. Between 1999 and 2016, Michigan witnessed a 32.9% increase in the number of suicides. In 2017, Michigan ranked 36th in the country for the number of suicides per 100,000 residents.

    Suicides and Suicide Rates in Michigan and the United States, 2017

    Michigan has a significantly higher opioid prescribing rate than the U.S. rate

    Prescription drug abuse – particularly in the form of opioids – has become an epidemic in the United States. While it is difficult to estimate how many individuals use these drugs as prescribed and how many abuse them, the Centers for Disease Control has researched the variation in opioid prescriptions between states, establishing a direct connection between an increased level of opioid prescriptions with a greater potential for dependence and abuse. Across the United States in 2017, 191 million prescriptions for opioids were written by physicians, ultimately leading one in four patients who begins long-term opioid therapy to an addiction.

    74.2

    opioid prescriptions per 100 Michigan residents, 2017

    58.7

    opioid prescriptions per 100 U.S. residents, 2017

    After peaking in 2012, the U.S. opioid prescribing rate has been on a steady decline for the last several years due to the explosion of the opioid epidemic and the recognition of the role that excessive opioid prescriptions have played in this epidemic. Between 2013 and 2017, the opioid prescribing rate in the United States dropped from 78.1 prescriptions per 100 residents to 58.7 prescriptions per 100 residents, a decrease of 24.84%. The opioid prescribing rate in Michigan was consistently above the U.S. prescribing rate during that time period, from 98.9 prescriptions per 100 residents in 2013 to 74.2 prescriptions per 100 residents in 2017, revealing a similar decrease of 24.97%.

    Michigan and U.S. Opioid Prescribing Rates, 2013-2017

    The rate of homelessness in Michigan is slightly less than half the national average

    A high rate of homelessness in an area indicates a greater potential for substance abuse issues. Homelessness has been shown to be linked to substance abuse as both a cause and a result; some individuals become homeless due to a substance use disorder, while other individuals who are already homeless frequently turn to substance use to dull the pain and desperation of their situation.

    The 2018 Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Point-in-Time Count reported approximately 552,830 homeless individuals in the United States, the equivalent of 17 of every 10,000 U.S. residents. This number represents a decrease of 4.1% since 2014 when the number of homeless persons in the U.S. was around 576,450. Furthermore, homelessness across the United States has decreased by 15% since 2007, the year that HUD began collecting data on the homeless population.

    of every 10,000 Michigan residents were homeless, 2018

    17

    of every 10,000 U.S. residents were homeless, 2018

    By comparison, Michigan had approximately 8,351 homeless persons in 2018, equating to 8 of every 10,000 Michigan residents and just slightly less than half the national average. This number reveals a 31.7% decrease since 2014 when 12,227 homeless persons lived in Michigan.
