They do not have the necessary or fundamental resources, they treat you like addicted junk, it gives me great impotence to know that there are people who think so badly of others.
About Greater Lakes Mental Healthcare
At this treatment center they take a person centered approach. That means they don’t just treat your addiction in isolation but they look at you as a whole person and serve your needs in a holistic way. Your treatment will be designed around you and what you need for your recovery. This might include a 12 Step based model or treating a mental illness or healing from past trauma.
Because of their individualized approach, the treatment can vary a lot from person to person. You’ll have individual counseling and group counseling. You’ll get a deep education in addiction and relapse prevention, and you can also take advantage of techniques like art therapy and mindfulness. If you would benefit from medications for addiction like methadone or Suboxone, they can coordinate this with medical providers.
One thing I found especially notable about this treatment center is that they combine abstinence based therapy like 12 Step models with harm reduction techniques. They acknowledge that the recovery journey isn’t always a straight line, and they’re available to help you regardless. Plus they can offer court ordered DUI assessments if you’re in need of that service.
Latest Reviews
It's an incredibly obfuscated experience to get ahold of anyone and they no longer offer many of the services they once offered. Seems like they used to be a cornerstone of their community, from what I've heard while interviewing people who have been in the community a long time.
But services have declined and at the same time the crime rate is apparently up.
I wonder if the two things are linked.
They apparently used to help people get on Section 8, and with other housing needs.
They also apparently used to have a "snack area". That was long gone by the time I arrived to check them out.
Furthermore when I arrived they used to offer hand sanitizer which was a welcome relief as I often struggle with germophobia.
(They no longer offer it andblamed one of their clients misconduct for why it was removed)
Lastly they have a tendency to fan the flames and catastrophize which I percieve as unproffessional conduct but this is likely personal oppinion.
Some of these staff be talking to you crazy. They unorganized and they have no respect. Please watch how you talk to people not everyone is going for it.
I'm writing a review to try and get someone's attention at the office. I have not be able to get a hold of the front desk. I left a voicemail on July 10th and then July 11th. Still no response. The email I found was to request medical records. I've also had to cancel an appointment due to lack of response.
I need assistance with billing. I would like to make a payment, but the link given to me does not show the correct info and price listed on the text reminder. I'm hoping for a detailed billing. Dates and charges, etc. I am able to pay if I sign in as a guest on the link but I would prefer seeing the details of the charges. If I sign in as a guest, I'm only given the amount with not explanation on the bill.
Would someone please reach to me directly! I am asking because I would prefer to avoid a late charge.
Thank you!

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.
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.
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient
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.
Inpatient
Inpatient rehab enables clients who are exiting detox or who are at an increased risk of relapse to focus on their recovery in a highly structured and supportive environment. Inpatient rehabs provide intensive clinical supervision and high-level treatment. Clients remain at the facility through the length of their program and typically receive multiple addiction counseling and education sessions per day. Holistic therapies, such as yoga, message, and meditation, may be used to relieve stress and ease discomfort.
Intensive Outpatient
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are frequently used to facilitate clients' transition from inpatient to outpatient care. Clients who are more stable may also choose to enter IOP rather than a residential rehab following detox. Intensive outpatient treatment typically consists of nine to 20 therapeutic hours per week, with services ranging from psychotherapy to recovery education to holistic care. Many programs offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid and/or alcohol addiction.
Treatments
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.
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
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
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
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.
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.
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
