About Enlightened Recovery Michigan

Enlightened Recovery is an addiction and mental health treatment network. The organization has four locations, including a facility in Kalamazoo, Michigan. You can access medically supervised detox, residential rehab and alumni programs for adults. They accept insurance from most providers and offer self pay options.

Integrating Sustainable Living Into Recovery

One of the unique aspects I noticed about them was their emphasis on sustainable living practices. They reuse and repurpose as much as possible. What they can’t reuse, they recycle.

You can enjoy a community garden and share fresh vegetables and fruits. They compost grass clippings, recycled paper and leaves to use in the garden. You’ll learn how to plant a garden and adopt healthier eating habits that enhance your journey.

Embracing Diverse Identities

I love that they embrace those with diverse identities and are LGBTQIA friendly. Enlightened Recovery provides inclusive and culturally competent care. You can enjoy a gender affirming environment where all interactions are empathetic and respectful.

Clients have reported feeling genuinely cared for and supported by the staff here. Their compassionate team respects your identity by using affirming documentation and language. You’ll be in a safe space where you don’t need to worry about re-traumatization or shame.

Assisting First Responders

I also think it’s wonderful that they offer a targeted track for first responders. Police, firefighters, paramedics and other first responders face challenging conditions every day. From unpredictable schedules to traumatic events, first responders can experience depression, anxiety and chronic stress that leads to substance use.

You can access empathetic, holistic care that caters to the culture and common experiences of people in these positions. Like all clients in their care, you’ll be in a comfortable environment with warm and inviting therapy spaces.

As a family friend of someone who received treatment here, I have been amazed at the positive change in my loved one since he finished the program. He has his light back. He means a great deal to me, so I wanted to make sure he went somewhere that would support him in the right way. I personally know the Executive Director and trust her deeply. I knew she would make sure he was treated with care and respect, which is why I recommended this facility to him and his family. He has shared so many positive things about his experience. He talked about how helpful the treatment was. How good the food was. And how compassionate the staff were every step of the way. I am genuinely grateful for the care he received and for the team that helped him reconnect with himself and the people that love him. Our community is lucky to have a resource like this available when people need it most.

Hearing how your loved one regained his light means so much. At our Kalamazoo rehab center, we work to create a home-like space where compassion, strong clinical care, and dignity guide every step. We’re honored he felt supported, nourished, and reconnected to himself and those who care for him.

Absolutely in love with the program and staff. I myself am a patient and have graduated the full course. Between the counselors, tech workers, cooks, and the whole community, I have had an amazing experience. Not only did I find myself more than ever, I have also reached a point of gratitude for life. I can’t imagine where I’d be if I went anywhere else. Rated the #1 rehabilitation center in Michigan for reasons beyond my explanation. Couldn’t be any happier with how things went. Not to mention the food here has been way better than expected. There were its ups and downs, as expected. Just take it from me, if you’re willing to put the work in for your recovery and learn to handle your own self, you yourself can sore and leave with a proper outlook on life. November 2nd all the way to December 2nd. Thank you for enlightening me, Enlightened Recovery

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Enlightened Recovery Michigan works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Per session payment lets you pay for each treatment at the time of service. You may also pay for a certain number of sessions up front and then pay for more if needed. This format allows you to tailor the financial investment to your specific needs and avoid having a large lump sum payment due at the end of the treatment program.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Clients in inpatient rehab reside at the treatment facility while engaging in intensive daily treatment. Inpatient care is primarily designed for clients leaving detox, those in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Clients participate in intensive addiction counseling, which may include group and family therapy as well as one-on-one sessions. Recovery-focused life skills training is also often prioritized. Many inpatient rehabs offer evidence-based complementary therapies, such as yoga, meditation, art therapy, and animal therapy.

Clients receiving care in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) typically have completed inpatient treatment, but some choose to enroll in IOP immediately following detox. Intensive outpatient rehabs offer high-level support for clients in early recovery and those at an increased risk of relapse. Most programs provide between nine and 20 hours of treatment per week, with services ranging from addiction counseling to recovery education to medication assisted treatment (MAT). Holistic therapies, such as acupuncture, are common.

During a medically supervised detox, addictive substances are removed from your body while under the 24/7 supervision of medical professionals in an inpatient environment. This is the safest way to wean your body off of addictive substances, since quitting alcohol or certain drugs (like opioids or benzodiazepines) can be dangerous if done on your own. The program typically lasts around 5-7 days, but is highly individualized depending on your needs.

Clients receiving care at an outpatient rehab remain in their own homes and attend treatment as often as daily, depending on the level of need. Outpatient care generally consists of psychotherapy, addiction education, life skills training, and community reintegration support. Many outpatient treatment centers provide step-down care, including partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), sober living, and standard outpatient services. Some outpatient rehabs also offer ambulatory medical detox and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

While many people know it as "day treatment", a partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers treatment during the day and allows you to live at home. PHP treatment typically requires a commitment of at least 20 hours of treatment every week, with a program duration that spans approximately 90 days. While commuting is necessary, some programs offer telehealth options. PHP treatment plans usually include relapse prevention, medication management, and behavioral therapy.

Treatments

Alcoholism is characterized by the excessive or compulsive use of alcohol, which does not stop despite negative consequences. This compulsive use leads to psychological and physical dependence. To break this dependence, alcohol rehab in Michigan is necessary. Treatment is available from a range of services, including residential programs, outpatient treatment, AA, medical detox, and evidence-based counseling. Support systems are also a crucial part of long-term recovery.

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.

Michigan's dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs provide specialized treatment for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Levels of care include outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization options. Using a combination of evidence-based therapies, trauma-informed care, group therapy, and psychoeducation, clinicians can help you address the underlying cause of your addiction, treat both disorders, and promote overall mental health and well-being. You'll also develop a support network and enhance your coping skills.

Inpatient addiction treatment includes mental health services designed to help you succeed in recovery or avoid relapse. Standard treatments include individual and group therapy sessions, relapse prevention education, and coping skills training. One of the main goals of therapy in rehab is to help you improve your mental health, eliminate patterns of unhealthy thinking that tend to drive or support self-destructive behaviors, and replace unhealthy patterns with healthy and rational thought patterns.

In Michigan, specialized substance abuse treatment programs are available for individuals struggling with drug and alcohol use. These programs utilize evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing. Treatment options usually include outpatient, inpatient, and residential programs, offering individuals a comprehensive approach to recovery. Through a combination of therapy, counseling, and support, treatment can help individuals regain control of their lives and achieve long-term sobriety.

Programs

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.

The postpartum period is a sensitive time, especially for women in addiction recovery. Rehabs with specialized programs for new mothers will offer compassionate, personalized care to meet each client's needs as they transition from pregnancy to this season of life. Care teams may include obstetricians, pediatricians, and social workers working collaboratively to give women, children, and families a healthy future.

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Michigan helps participants view challenges more clearly so they can respond to them in healthy ways. During a limited number of structured sessions, clients learn about and practice these changes to effectively address substance use and mental health disorders.

Addiction often involves intense situations and emotions. Dialectical behavior therapy helps you understand and regulate your emotions and better manage the situations that evoke those feelings. You'll receive mindfulness training and stress management training to cope more effectively with difficult emotions.

Group therapy sessions in Michigan allow you to share responsibility with your peers in a group setting. This fosters a collective commitment to achieve sobriety and learn coping skills that are essential to improving your relationships and reducing your stress levels.

Personalized therapy sessions for drug addiction emphasize understanding your background and behavioral triggers for substance use. Your therapist will collaborate with you to create an effective coping strategy and address underlying issues that clear the way for lasting change.

Substance abuse negatively affects your nutrition. Some drugs affect your metabolism, while others affect how your body absorbs nutrients. Others suppress your appetite. To restore balance to your systems, nutrition therapy provides a healthy meal plan and training for how to eat the right foods to support addiction recovery.

During trauma therapy in Michigan, you are guided through traumatic memories within a safe and supportive environment. Your therapist then provides you with tools to process traumatic events and reduce the symptoms that occur when you're exposed to a trigger. This improves your overall mental health and ability to function in the community.

We made a family decision for my sibling to attend this facility because of the rave reviews. I admit I was frustrated when they decided to sign their 24 hour notice shortly after arriving, but after hearing the horror stories, I completely understand why. Requests for simple things like a reading lamp (which multiple rooms were assigned successfully) to more severe things like access to essential medication were ignored and not provided. One of the physician's got into their face and was screaming so loud at them for requesting antibiotics, for a later positively identified infection, that the nurses down the hall heard. Nothing was done. Think twice before sending any loved ones to this place.

Response from the owner
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We understand how important it is to feel confident in the care your loved one receives, and we’re sorry to hear about the concerns you’ve described.

While we cannot discuss or confirm any individual’s care due to privacy laws, we do want to clarify that the scenarios described in your review do not reflect our standards or the way our team operates. Our staff follow strict medical and ethical protocols, and any behavior outside of that is taken very seriously.

We’d appreciate the opportunity to speak with you directly so we can better understand what led to this misunderstanding and address your concerns personally. Please feel free to reach out anytime.
