Accepted Insurance

McLaren Oakland works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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

inpatient iconInpatient
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.
12-step icon12-Step
12 step programs are typically community-based and peer-led, though many rehabs base their treatment models on this approach. Participants engage in regular 12 step meetings, which are anonymous, free, and accessible multiple times a day, 365 days a year in most communities. Participants are also mentored by self-selected sponsors who support them as they work through the 12 steps of recovery, which include addressing the causes of the disease, taking personal responsibility, and relinquishing control.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial 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.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
24-hour clinical care in Michigan is essential for certain phases of recovery treatment. During detox, many physical ailments related to the detox process can be lethal if not treated. Having medical staff available at all times provides the proper care for safe detox. Medications and other treatment can also make the process much more comfortable and bearable.

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 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.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
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 (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.

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.

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.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

My experience with the people was top notch. Facility is dated and a bit scary to park and approach. But once inside the young woman at registration was very nice, engaging and informative. This is important to me. Nice people calm me. Radiology was first class. Kaela was a pleasure to meet and work with. She knows her stuff and also extremely pleasant to talk to.

I’ve been going to McLaren my entire life, I think the ER staff is amazing. Sadly I decided to have an appendix removed here, I stayed the night on the 6th and 9th floor. The moment it became night shift staff I was being completely ignored for hours (IN THE ICU) I was told “okay I’ll get someone” well over a dozen times. There is a handful of staff who had nothing but attitude with me and made me feel like I was worthless tbh. Not saying they don’t have good surgeons or doctors but it didn’t help I could hear another nurse or doctor this morning talking terribly about how bad night shift is. GET IT TOGETHER PLEASE.P.S they also did not verify which pharmacy to send my prescription too. I called and asked if it was possible to switch where they sent it. And I got “what you can’t wait until tomorrow?” Keep in mind these are pain meds for after surgery…. It’s 10 am right now….. Again made me feel like I was not valued as a patient!

My Husband was brought in by ambulance bc he had was thought to be panic attack at work. When he arrived the doctors and nurses wouldn’t tell him anything I was a hour away on the phone trying to get any information. When his results came agin would not tell me anything even when I got there I found they gave him Potassium pills bc his levels were “low…” that was 5 minutes before I had gotten there. When I had only been there no more 10 minutes they came in said they were giving him more potassium with a little bit of phosphorus in it bc that was also low. When I asked about his levels I was ignored and was told by my husband that when they came in to give him the pills they said it was his liver and needed to see a GI specialist. So I made a appointment right away, but we decided to leave before the bag was done and doctor wouldn’t even acknowledge me found out they hardly acknowledged my husband for the almost 2 hours he was there before me. When I got home we weren’t really given any information about what else we should be doing I looked at his results bc we had to visit urgent care the next day his Potassium levels were barely below normal but his phosphorus levels were dangerously low and was hardly given anything to help those levels but they tried to double dose him with Potassium and made him more sick the next day. I was not happy with our experience in the ER. The staff was annoyed with me trying to get any information out of them because they wouldn’t tell my husband.

ABSOLUTELY THEE WORST HOSPITAL I HAVE EVER HAD THE DISPLEASURE OF BEING AT! NOT BY CHOICE... I Suffer from seizures and my spouse had to call an ambulance this last one because of some complications, and they brought me to the closest hospital... The Drs are unprofessional, rude and above all not knowledgeable about anything... I have very severe psoriasis and before I could come to they made their own diagnosis.... Measles and or scabies smfh I left and went to Beaumont and again I was kept for over a week... Since July I have been admitted 4 different times because of my seizures and pneumonia. The first time I went to Beaumont was in July after suffering a 16 min seizure this POS hospital said I either take a medication I'm allergic to (they didn't believe I was allergic bc it wasn't in their system, and I told the morons I wouldn't be since I'm not from this crappy state)or go home. Anyways I went to Beaumont, such a beautiful place and the Drs and nurses are AMAZING and was kept for 2 weeks bc of the damage done to my brain AGAIN MCLAREN SUCKS BIG TIME... ONLY PUT A STAR CUZ IF I DIDN'T THEN I COULDN'T POST
