About Briarwood Center for Women, Children and Young Adults

The Briarwood Center for Women, Children, and Young Adults is part of the University of Michigan Health network. The center is in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Services include obstetrics and gynecology, nutrition services, pediatrics, and more.

Additionally, they can refer clients with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders to their specialty treatment services in the Department of Psychiatry at the Rachel Upjohn Building on Plymouth Road in Ann Arbor, less than 10 miles away. The center has in-network agreements with many insurance companies. They accept some Medicare and Medicaid plans.

Supportive Services for Women and Infants

The Briarwood Center offers family centered care focused on women and children. Much of the care here focuses on disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and referrals when appropriate. One of the unique services offered here is the breastfeeding clinic to support breastfeeding moms.

The onsite breastfeeding clinic helps moms whose infants are having difficulties. Some issues include difficulty latching, inadequate weight gain, and low milk supply. Staff at the clinic includes a lactation consultant, pediatrician, and OBGYN who all specialize in support for breastfeeding moms.

The center is about 43 miles from Detroit in Ann Arbor. Ann Arbor is a vibrant city with a nice mix of urban areas and natural beauty. The clinic is about three miles from the quaint, walkable downtown district with a fun mix of restaurants and shops.

Accessing Addiction and Mental Health Treatment in Ann Arbor

Clients can access most types of care from the Briarwood Center. If you need addiction or mental health treatment, the staff can refer you to the Rachel Upjohn facility.

The addiction care is comprehensive and includes an individualized treatment plan. Services include outpatient detoxification, medication assisted treatment (MAT), psychiatric treatment, and intensive outpatient therapy and treatment programs.

Because many clients with substance use disorder (SUD) have a co-occurring mental health challenge, clients receive a psychiatric consultation if necessary. The consultation helps the treatment team develop the best plan for your unique situation.

Our appointment was at 4:45 and we arrived at 4:58, every doctor s office is supposed to have a 15 minute grace period. We get there and the doors are locked, someone let us in, tells us to go to check out so they can reschedule us, we came all the way from Howell and if you live in the area you know there is construction everywhere you turn. I am very disappointed in this location and u of m, my baby is sick and you doctors couldn t care less, don t be in the medical field if your not willing to actually help your patients. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

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.

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.

Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict.

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

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 thumbnail image
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.

LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

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.

During motivational interviewing, therapists express empathy, support self efficacy, and develop discrepancies. By using these techniques, therapists help clients reflect on their desires for change and understand why and how they should move forward with those changes.

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.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

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.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

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.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Feedback Regarding Our Recent Visit to University of Michigan Health Pediatric Clinic | Women Children & Young Adults located at Brairwood – A Deeply Disappointing Experience I am writing this review to share a deeply frustrating and upsetting experience we had during a recent visit to this clinic, where my 15-month-old daughter was diagnosed with COVID-19. Inaccurate Temperature Reading — Ignored in Real Time: The medical technician barely inserted the thermometer in my daughter’s ear and reported a temperature of 99°F. However, we brought our own reliable thermometer and checked her temperature ourselves right there in front of the technician—it was 102.5°F. Despite seeing this clear discrepancy, the staff did nothing to recheck or acknowledge it. That kind of inaccuracy in a pediatric setting is not just careless, it’s dangerous. The technician also kept the incorrect fever recorded on the chart, which adds to the concern about the accuracy and professionalism of the visit. Disrespectful and Dismissive Behavior from the Doctor: When I expressed concern about my daughter’s symptoms, the doctor completely dismissed my worries. Her response was, "If you don’t want your child to get sick, keep her in a bubble." I found this statement not only unprofessional but cruel and mocking during a very stressful time for us as a family. Failure to Take Symptoms Seriously: I shared multiple concerning symptoms: her fever not dropping below 102°F all night, changes in walking, and sudden moments of unresponsiveness. The doctor brushed all of these off as “normal” and implied I was overreacting. This level of dismissal is unacceptable. Lack of Compassion During the Visit: My daughter was crying throughout the entire visit, visibly uncomfortable and unwell. Instead of showing empathy, the doctor said, “She seems good since she’s fighting.” That is not a reassuring or medically sound evaluation—it’s a justification to ignore her suffering. If she was truly "fine," I wouldn’t have brought her in. Confusing and Inappropriate Dosage Instructions: The Motrin dosage the doctor recommended was not only confusing but possibly unsafe. She told us to give her Children’s Motrin, which, according to both the CDC and the manufacturer, is only recommended for children 2–3 years old and 24–35 lbs. My daughter is 15 months and 23.3 lbs with clothes and diaper. This recommendation shows either carelessness or a lack of up-to-date medical knowledge. Inaccurate Examination and Missed Diagnosis: After the incorrect temperature reading, I couldn’t trust the rest of the physical exam. The doctor said her throat “looked fine,” but when we went to urgent care immediately afterward, they confirmed she had a sore throat—common with COVID, yes, but something the doctor failed to even notice. She rushed through the visit, clearly eager to finish her shift since it was a Saturday. The doctor didn’t even write a visit note. She rushed to the car and left the building two hours after the visit, and I still don’t see a doctor’s note on my child’s portal summarizing her recommendations. That’s a little strange, because usually doctors write notes immediately for patients to review. Is she trying to hide something, or did she realize she wasn’t helpful? This doctor showed zero empathy—not once did she acknowledge my concerns or the fact that I, too, am COVID positive, with a fever, while caring for a very sick baby. It felt like we were a burden rather than patients needing help. If you're a parent who cares about your child’s well-being, I urge you not to go to this clinic—especially not to see Dr. Kelly Abraham Orringer. You’ll leave feeling worse, with no answers, and still looking for real care. She may get paid for the visit, but your peace of mind and your child’s health are too important to trust to someone so dismissive and uncaring.

I took my 18-month-old son to the clinic to have his ears checked for a possible ear infection. He had just been woken from a nap and was understandably upset. The first doctor wasn’t able to get a clear look because he was crying, so she said she would have a colleague take a look instead. Dr. Helms then entered the room and, to my surprise, barely acknowledged us. She seemed uncomfortable with the fact that my son was crying—as if a crying toddler were out of the ordinary for a pediatric setting. She made no effort to comfort him or engage with him, which made the situation even more tense. After briefly looking in his ear, she sat down and unexpectedly started asking questions about his developmental progress at home. I found this inappropriate, as she’s not his primary doctor and that wasn’t the reason for our visit. It felt intrusive and irrelevant. I've been with this clinic for three years and have never had an experience like this. It was disappointing and unsettling. My child had already gone through a stressful situation—being examined twice right after waking up—and the lack of empathy or effort to make him comfortable was really disheartening. I honestly don’t understand where Dr. Helms gets her five-star reviews.

A horrid experience, my son was diagnosed with developmental delays, by the doctor. Instead of diagnosing the problem as a hereditary disease, she had an illegal view of my mental health record. Off course, it must be the mentally ill parent. Taken to another doctor, who does genetic testing, he tested positive for FragileX. Funny, that's in the hour long family health history, I gave to your North Campus pediatrician. Goober! And I like big flowers on my shirt.

Took my child there TWICE and the next day I’m at ER with my child because this place CLEARLY is not equipped to properly diagnose a child when they’re sick! The longer we have been going to this location the more I feel the care has gotten worse and he is treated just like a number. NO PERSONAL CARE, follow up, waste of time taking your child here!

I didn’t like how the doctor asked me to leave the room to ask my daughter if she likes boys or girls. She’s 12. And not dating. I’m really tired of this question being asked. Your the doctor, not the parent, stay in your lane!

Staff are nice but we are waiting 30+ minutes for the Dr to come in at every visit. It's hard to keep small children happy for that long and it feels disrespectful of our time for this to consistently be an issue

We've been going to this clinic for many years. Our experience with the doctors, nurses and staff has been great. We really want to thank everyone at this clinic for taking care of patients and their families in the best way possible. Current times especially have been tough and you guys are doing great. On that note, we would also like to share that our most recent experience with the doctor was not the best. We noticed some impatience as if she had to leave. And sarcasm in answering our questions rather than appropriateness in making sure we have a good understanding. This could just be a one-off situation but it does influence our decision making. No big deal, we're confident this will be taken care of. Everything else was great. Thank you for everything.

The clinic is great , But there is a guy who sometimes answers the phone and is straight up disrespectful. I called to ask about my symptoms and I also asked him for the COVID hotline ... as I was naming my symptoms he said I didn’t need all that information and directed me straight to COVID hotline and I needed to speak to my doctor ! So rude !
