About Detroit East Community Mental Health Center – Mack Avenue

The Team Wellness Center’s Team East Clinic provides primary and mental health services for adults, children, and teens in Detroit, Michigan. Here, you’ll find a range of outpatient treatments designed to support your mental and physical health. They accept self pay and private insurance, and offer a sliding fee scale based on your income.

If you’re struggling with substance abuse, they’ll start by performing a quick assessment. This helps your providers understand the extent of your addiction and any other health issues you might have. From there, they’ll create a recovery focused treatment plan that will help you meet your goals, develop independence, and reclaim your quality of life. I like that this center specializes in care coordination so all of your healthcare needs are taken care of in the same network. You’ll go through them to access your preventative services, primary health care, and addiction related treatments.

You can attend individual, group, or family therapy sessions to learn more about addiction, understand your triggers, and develop life skills. They also offer medication assisted treatment using the FDA approved medication Suboxone. When combined with counseling and other behavioral therapies, this substance can help relieve your pain and control your cravings as you recover.

Some of the other services they offer include peer mentorship, psychiatric treatment, career counseling, housing assistance, and related resources. They can also connect you with other local providers who can help you continue your recovery progress.

If I could to put zero stars I would. There is no help here. Wasted my time and gas. Just because I was a little late I didn't get any medicine or treatment. I'm disabled. This ain't no Job interview. Like I'm getting paid for showing up on time. They don't provide transportation for appointments either. They don't care about you. I wouldn't waste my time going here . Go somewhere else.

The absolute worst I ve ever experienced. They don t follow through with their own rules. I never got a chance to see the doctor here because they kept letting the ball drop on assigning me to one. Even with me continually reaching out and trying to make the appointment, I was never treated. Unacceptable. Don t waste your time here. If I could rate lower, I would.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in Michigan provides personalized treatment to help individuals break this cycle and regain control of their lives. Treatment methods are used in various levels of care, including inpatient rehab, partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, and standard outpatient treatment.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

I had amazing talks with the medical staff members. I remember them being warm, caring and attentive to what i was going through. However, upon my premature discharge, i was left stranded and later greatly insulted by a staff member who answers incoming calls. The staff member who dropped me off did not have the common courtesy to wait until i was let into the shelter before he sped off. My experience was twofold; on one hand i was abruptly thrusted into hell, yet before that i had some powerful breakthroughs in my talks with therapy staff.

The doctor they assigned me first said he doesn't prescribe controlled substances because he's afraid to get investigated--because he's not helping people? Then someone said a doctor there gives him opium for heroin addiction so I called and was told I could get a different doctor there that would help me. Then wasted my time again going there just to be told none of the doctors there prescribe controlled substances. Just opium for heroin addiction, apparently, but not a benzo for actual mental health issues. This place should be shut done. It's probably because it's in Detroit they don't prescribe medicine to people. Plenty in Oakland County told me they will give me Ativan for PTSD so I can function in Detroit. Detroit apparently doesn't want to heal its citizens.

True KIDNAPPING I don't know what to say, this place is my parole officers go to establishment. Because I have a skipped due process medication mandate on a criminal case this place feels that it doesn't matter what type of service I am provided. It will not let me go but yet and still will not provide me quality service and impedes my ability to get services elsewhere even though my insurance can go anywhere. Here's how the scam works. Your thoughts are eavesdropped on and manipulated, (Yes it's a thing) you are sent to the "crisis and stabilization unit" at Team Wellness where you're monitored for days as opposed to a set amount of time yet you lose track of all time and reality with random medications and shots. They then farm you out to the various impatient services hospitals (Stonecrest Harbor oaks Pontiac general Hospital) where you'll stay for either 7 to 10 days or up to 30 days at the end they at these hospitals count on you to give them a good rating on your kidnapping. When you go in you don't sign anything they don't go for treatment plan or anything and when you wake up and realize that you've been kidnapped and you read the little toilet fodder paper saying that your stay there as voluntary because you came there yourself and you ask to leave they tell you you have been "pit and certed" petitioned and certified and they do not want to let you go. It is true slavertude because they put you with others who have mental problems and for your time there if you have any wits about yourself you help figure out what the issues is and there are people there are there for exorbitant amount of time. The most amazing thing is because I'm able to figure out things they just love how myself and my daughter Malaysia Gibson and I just able to do some extraordinary things and so they test medications on us. 3 days 3 medication heights in a row and their eyes just get big and round. Tell The projected Dr Head about it does nothing make a big stink on the unit makes Dr Head show up with the other doctors who takes their patience away from you it is an atrocity. This last time I was to have a surgery I was to meet with a lawyer and I was to meet with a new mental health team at another facility yet was directed to the crisis center on Mack and Mount Elliott and was held up a total of nearly 16 days where no one could find me. So if I disappear this is what it is. They are so scandalous that after I ended my treatment at Pontiac general today Wayne county made it to where Pontiac general and Oakland county would not allow me to be placed anywhere but at Team Wellness on Mack & Mt Elliott to sleep on the floor homeless. I WILL experience backlash for this review.

Absolute JOKE !!! My 4 year old son got sent to this place for "support coordination" and he has yet to be supported or have anything coordinated. I've called for WEEKS, looking to get referrals for ABA & OT . They keep sending "emails" yet no one is returning the calls. Tyreisha Sledge is the epitome of LAZY, working from home but isn't really working because she's literally doing nothing. Hopefully a yet another closed chart will prompt them to be more mindful of who they hire.
