Outpatient Drug & Alcohol Rehabs in Michigan

According to Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, prescription opioid abuse is affecting residents in communities all over the state.¹  However, opioids are not the only drugs causing problems. In Detroit, cocaine is also a major drug of abuse, and marijuana use is prevalent across Michigan.²  Many people who need treatment for alcohol and drug abuse do not receive it.

Drug overdose rates also remain high in Michigan, increasing by 13.3% from 2014 to 2015.⁷ This number may be so high because many people in the state do not get the help they need to overcome their drug or alcohol addiction. An overwhelming majority or 81.7% of people with illicit drug dependence or abuse in Michigan did not receive treatment within the past year according to data from 2010-2014.⁴

• In Michigan, from 1999-2015, more than 4,400 people died from opiate-related overdose. More than half of those overdoses happened after 2010.³
• Among treatment admissions in 2013 in Detroit, 33.3% listed heroin as the primary drug of abuse.²
• In 2014-2015, 8.1% of adolescents age 12-17 said they’d used marijuana in the month prior to the survey. The national average during that time was 7.2%.⁶
• 5% of individuals aged 12-20 in Michigan reported binge alcohol use during the month prior to being surveyed according to 2013-2014 data. The national average is 14%.⁴
• Just 8.2% of adolescents and adults ages 12 and older in Michigan with alcohol dependence or abuse received any treatment within the past year, according to 2010-2014 data.⁴

The cost of your rehab program in MI will depend on a number of things, like the length of your program (e.g. 28-30 days, 60 days, 90 days), type of program e.g. private or luxury, whether you want a private or shared room, the types of amenities the facility has and where in Michigan the center is located.

Make sure you weigh your options before making a final decision and ask about your payment options and whether your insurance is accepted. Some rehab centers offer payment plans or sliding scale fees.

The type of treatment you’ll need to overcome your addiction will depend on your unique situation. Michigan offers a variety of inpatient and outpatient treatments for substance abuse. Treatment centers serve men, women, adolescents and adults, among others. Services are also available for veterans, trauma survivors and people with hearing disabilities.⁵

The treatment approaches in Michigan include cognitive behavioral therapy, substance abuse counseling and dialectical behavioral therapy. Many programs also offer detox.⁵
