Michigan Drug Rehab and Alcohol Rehabilitation Treatment Centers and Programs

 

 

 

 

In June 2009, the Michigan Office of Drug Control Policy reported that 1 in 10 Michigan residents were either dependent on or had abused alcohol or an illicit substance within the last year. That works out to over 800,000 people. State funding helped over 70,000 of those people get treatment for substance abuse. In Michigan, that is provided through a network of programs and public and private drug and alcohol treatment facilities.

Michigan rehabilitation centers report that while Michigan ranks above national averages in alcohol abuse, illicit drug use is on the rise while admissions to treatment for alcohol are declining:

An especially troubling trend, affecting people of all age groups and all social backgrounds, is the increasing diversion and abuse of prescription drugs, mostly reported in the “opiates not heroin” category shown above. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration reports that Oxycontin prescriptions in Michigan have increased by 31%, and abusers of this drug account for 90% of the break-ins, pharmacy robberies, prescription forgeries and thefts, and home break-ins associated with people attempting to obtain more of this highly addictive drug.

People suspecting that a loved one may have a problem with alcohol, a prescription drug, or any of the illicit substances widely abused in Michigan (marijuana, cocaine, heroin) should seek treatment as soon as possible. Early intervention and treatment through one of the 539 drug and alcohol treatment centers in Michigan is key to keeping what may be a mild recreational habit from becoming full-blown addiction. About 55% of all Michigan rehab centers receive public funding of some sort, which broadens their access to Michigan residents and provides many choices of care.

Michigan is fortunate in the number and variety of drug and alcohol rehabilitation and treatment centers located in the state. Twelve of them are operated by tribal governments and two offer programs in Native American languages. Of the rest, 293 are private nonprofit facilities and 183 are private for-profit, with the rest being operated by state agencies. The fact that many Michigan treatment centers are privately operated is not unusual, nor does it mean that they are beyond the reach of all but the well-heeled. Fully 65% of all Michigan drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities contract their services to hospitals and HMOs. Patients seeking treatment will likely be referred to one of them.

All patients, however, should take the time to educate themselves upon the various programs and facilities in their area. Treatment modalities will differ from program to program, and not all rehab centers in Michigan offer the same services. Those seeking residential care, either short or long-term, must choose from among the 87 Michigan treatment facilities that offer it or seek out of state. Likewise, not all drug treatment programs in Michigan offer methadone or buprenorphine in conjunction with treating opiate addiction. Only 37 facilities offered such opioid programs in 2006, the most recent data year, while only 69 treatment programs and 316 physicians statewide were certified to use buprenorphine. Therefore, the local Michigan drug and alcohol program may or may not provide the sort of services expected. Patients would do well to research their options and consult with their doctor to determine the best course of action.
