About Riverwood Center

The early intervention group helps those who aren’t sure about treatment but have an external requirement to get help, perhaps from their family, the legal system, or an employer. The program includes education about the impact of addiction and how recovery can improve clients’ lives. The group meets weekly for eight weeks and is designed to encourage clients to seek more intensive treatment.

The IOP helps participants address recovery issues and begin their journey to sobriety. The program meets three hours a day for three days per week, and clients can choose morning or evening sessions. Services in the IOP include individual and group therapy, peer support, life-skills training, and relapse prevention.

There is also an aftercare program. Weekly group meetings allow those with 30+ days of sobriety to continue to have support and avoid relapse. Clients may also be connected to 12-step and other recovery support groups and community resources such as housing and employment support.

Riverwood Center is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). They may work with major insurance providers, such as Anthem, ComPsych, Magellan Health and others. Contact your insurance provider to verify coverage because out of network benefits can vary.

I wanted to have a positive experience here, but that just did not happen. I went into an office before my intake and they just had a very negative unwelcoming attitude. As someone with mental health this did not make me feel comfortable and I just walked out and did not proceed. They began to grill me on my insurance and acted like I did not know what I was talking about, and kept having this look on their face like I was clueless. Oh, well this is why so many people lose out on getting the help they need. I hope others have a better experience.

I’ve been going here since I was 14 years old, over all I’m very happy with the care I’ve received. I’m now 24 years old. I’ve been through lots of therapist and psychiatrist. But I now see Rebecca Burnau as my psychiatrist and she is amazing! Rachel Strubble is amazing, they listen and honestly don’t know what I would do without this place.

Accepted Insurance

Riverwood Center 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.

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 iconOutpatient

Clients receiving care at an outpatient rehab remain in their own homes and attend treatment as often as daily, depending on the level of need. Outpatient care generally consists of psychotherapy, addiction education, life skills training, and community reintegration support. Many outpatient treatment centers provide step-down care, including partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), sober living, and standard outpatient services. Some outpatient rehabs also offer ambulatory medical detox and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs. The Intensive Outpatient Program gives patients the chance to participate in a structured treatment plan part-time while they transition back to home and work or other responsibilities.

IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

During a medically supervised detox, addictive substances are removed from your body while under the 24/7 supervision of medical professionals in an inpatient environment. This is the safest way to wean your body off of addictive substances, since quitting alcohol or certain drugs (like opioids or benzodiazepines) can be dangerous if done on your own. The program typically lasts around 5-7 days, but is highly individualized depending on your needs.

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.
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 thumbnail image

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.
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 in Michigan helps participants view challenges more clearly so they can respond to them in healthy ways. During a limited number of structured sessions, clients learn about and practice these changes to effectively address substance use and mental health disorders.

Addiction often involves intense situations and emotions. Dialectical behavior therapy helps you understand and regulate your emotions and better manage the situations that evoke those feelings. You'll receive mindfulness training and stress management training to cope more effectively with difficult emotions.

Group therapy sessions in Michigan allow you to share responsibility with your peers in a group setting. This fosters a collective commitment to achieve sobriety and learn coping skills that are essential to improving your relationships and reducing your stress levels.

Personalized therapy sessions for drug addiction emphasize understanding your background and behavioral triggers for substance use. Your therapist will collaborate with you to create an effective coping strategy and address underlying issues that clear the way for lasting change.

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.

During trauma therapy in Michigan, you are guided through traumatic memories within a safe and supportive environment. Your therapist then provides you with tools to process traumatic events and reduce the symptoms that occur when you're exposed to a trigger. This improves your overall mental health and ability to function in the community.

Both internal and external factors can put stress on a relationship. Couples therapy helps you and your partner work through those stressors and find healthy ways to deal with challenges as they arise.

Family therapy is often recommended for family units with a member undergoing drug or alcohol rehabilitation. Family therapy helps to foster communication and conflict resolution that creates a supportive environment. This helps the loved one who is struggling with addiction.

To maintain a healthy and productive life, you need certain life skills. They help you make good decisions and build good relationships. Because they are key to long term recovery, most rehab programs in Michigan include integrated life skills training.

I had certain people inaccurately communicate information on my behalf. The people inaccurately communicated information when I was a minor. The information was documented as information I communicated. I have previously experienced side effects from the medication. The side effects from the medication are not documented as side effects. I have also experienced side effects from over the counter medication. There is video surveillance footage of me communicating the side effects I experienced. The video surveillance footage is supposed to prove the reactions to the medication were not side effects. I do not exhibit certain mental health concerns without taking medication that causes a reaction. I informed the company about several things that were occurring. I was expected to give the same information I previously communicated. I chose to check if they documented the information I gave. I pretended like I did not know the answers to the questions they were asking me. The psychiatry appointment was a brief appointment. I have received several inaccurate diagnoses throughout the years. The documentation is inconsistent and inaccurate documentation. The documentation they accumulated throughout the years is unreliable. The documentation from four different locations contains several differences. The psychiatrist did prescribe me a medication. I experienced multiple side effects from the medication I was given. No visual hallucinations No auditory hallucinations No paranoia Not out of touch with reality No delusions The diagnosis that I received was schizophrenia. The diagnosis that the psychiatrist communicated to me was schizophrenia.

Do not go here for Psych services. My psychologist I was seeing knew about all the medications my primary care provider was prescribing me, we had discussed this on multiple occasions. The last visit I had she agreed to renew my Vyvanse prescription, go to pick it up and it's not there. After going back to Riverwood MULTIPLE TIMES to try to talk to her about it I kept getting told "we'll have her call you" after a few weeks of that I was told by a "nurse" she pulled the prescription because of another medication I was taking. Upon arriving at Riverwood today she told me the same thing when I asked her about it. I reminded her that we have perviously discusses all my medications I was taking. I explained to her because I was no longer on the Vyvanse my ADHD had gotten worse and I was having the same troubles I was before and actually ended up in the hospital. After leaving her office I requested a copy of my patient file where upon review of it I found she completely lied about what had happened in the interaction. Writing that I was hostile towards her (funny how she marked down that my Behavior was appropriate on her assessment though. Must not have been that hostile) and that I specifically blamed her for ending up in the hospital. She also stated that she told me there are no withdrawal symptoms from abruptly stopping a medication like Vyvanse. I can tell you that yes there are INCLUDING increase in depression and suicidal thoughts......hmmmm you'd think she'd know that.
