About Gilmore Community Healing Centers
Gilmore Community Healing Center has served over 50,000 people struggling with mental health problems and substance abuse issues for almost two decades in the Southwest Michigan area. Helping individuals, children, men and women, and families, the Gilmore Community Healing Center offers a range of alcohol and drug addiction services with its inpatient and recovery housing programs.
Gilmore Community Healing Center believes that high quality and equitable care should be given to all people to help them heal from addiction and mental and behavioral disorders. That’s why this rehab provides person centered substance abuse services like the ones mentioned below:
The Gilmore Community Healing Center offers a residential medically assisted treatment (MAT) detox program for those seeking substance abuse recovery. Those 18 and older with alcohol, opiate, or other drug dependencies can receive treatment in a 24 hour medical monitoring environment with nursing care provided to aid with withdrawal during detoxification. Most individuals participate in this inpatient program for 10 to 18 days.
Women with children and single men and women can seek a safe haven and supporting and healing environment by applying for recovery housing offered by the Gilmore Community Healing Center. The recovery housing helps substance abuse users create a stable and self-sufficient lifestyle while focusing on drug or alcohol addiction recovery.
To help in the prevention of drug and alcohol addiction and to ensure clients don’t relapse, the Gilmore Community Healing Center offers a friend and family substance abuse prevention program. This program provides weekly meetings where research based information is shared through handouts, video materials, and educational presentations by certified and experienced professionals.

This place is not what I thought it would be for my husband!I do NOT recommend this place!The staff is all over the place, not very communicative & they tell you to call and checkup on your spouse & if you do (Called 3 times due to nobody answering the phone!) When they finally answered, they complain you've "called too much!"...I wouldn't have called 3 times if you had enough staff to answer your phones!Furthermore they do not allow visitations.They allow them to smoke cigarettes but not drink coffee or any caffeine for that matter?!They say you can have things dropped off and one staff member said "yes that is okay" so you send said item and another doesn't give it to them because it's "not allowed?!"5 minute phone calls on M-W-F are ridiculous... They get more phone time in other facilities & in jail compared to this place?!My complaints are mainly for the staff.Get it together. You're not getting paid to slack on a job!
I am proud to say that my experience here was amazing. Definitely life changing and the staff here we're a major part of it. It's focus for me was based on "Self" I had to learn to believe in me and forgive me. I think if your looking to get things turned around and feel your alone. You will find help here your never alone.

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.
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
Medically 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.
Inpatient Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
24-Hour Clinical Care At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
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.
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.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
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
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.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
