Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Inpatient

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.

Intensive Outpatient

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.

Partial Hospitalization Program

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

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.

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.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

James Nicholas (The Detail Pro)

3 weeks ago

My name is James Nicholas, and if you would've met me five years ago, you'd have likely crossed the street to avoid me—or maybe I would've crossed it myself, ashamed and too drunk to look anyone in the eye. Today, by the grace of God, I walk with my head held high—not in pride, but in awe. Because I should be dead. Or locked up for life. Or lost forever. But Jesus had other plans. I spent over 20 years behind bars, scattered between Alabama and Michigan prisons, the result of a life ruled by addiction, destruction, and desperation. I had once believed I was beyond saving. I was a crack-smoking, vodka-pounding, naked-on-a-bike kind of broken, with a rap sheet and a rap sheet's worth of regrets. I was the guy everyone gave up on—except Jesus. I chased drug’s and alcohol the way I should’ve been chasing God. And in my madness, I wrecked marriages, friendships, and even my own children’s trust. I blew eight years of sobriety after my first wife went to prison. That pain sent me spiraling down faster than I thought possible. I landed in a filthy room above a bar in Monroe, Michigan, living like an animal—meth, LSD, crack, booze—sometimes all at once. I didn’t care if I lived or died. Truth be told, I preferred the latter. But on May 6, 2020, I reached the end of myself. No money. No hope. No home. Just me, a phone, and a decision: die alone, or cry out for help. I called my friend Craig Mortz, and in that moment, God cracked open the door to freedom. Three days later, I walked into Grace Centers of Hope—broken, stinking, and terrified. It was the beginning of everything new. Grace Centers didn’t just clean me up—they raised me from the dead. It wasn’t just about sobriety or a bed to sleep in; it was about structure, accountability, faith, and family. It was about learning how to live again—with purpose, with dignity, and most importantly, with Jesus Christ at the center. I started mopping floors and cleaning toilets. I loved it. Not because I had to—but because, for the first time, I was useful again. Then something crazy happened: I began to believe what Pastor Clark was preaching. That Romans 8:28 wasn’t just ink on a page—that “all things work together for good to those who love God” could actually include me. Even after everything I had done. The Word of God began to heal what 13 rehabs, 20 years in prison, and countless bottles couldn’t. I stopped trying to numb my past and started surrendering it. One day, I looked in the mirror and realized—I wasn’t a mistake. I wasn’t trash. I was a new creation in Christ. Forgiven. Redeemed. Repurposed. Today, I’m sober. I’m married to the most amazing woman, Rebecca, who loves Jesus as much as I do. I own a detailing business—The Detail Pro LLC—with a reputation for excellence in the metro area. I help build homes for the very people I used to be: addicted, abused, and abandoned. And I get to tell them—there’s hope. Because I’m living proof. Grace Centers of Hope gave me the structure. Jesus gave me the strength. Together, they turned my tomb into a testimony. So, to anyone out there thinking it’s too late or too far gone—look at me. From drunk tank to detail shop. From prison stripes to paint sprayers. From despair to discipleship. All because God never gave up on me. And because somebody built a place called Grace Centers of Hope, where I found not just help—but healing. My name is James Nicholas. I was a slave to addiction. Now, I’m a servant of the Most High God. And I’m here to scream it from the rooftops: Jesus saves. Jesus restores. Jesus redeems. And I'm living proof, I love you Jesus Christ.
