About VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System

During inpatient treatment, you will work with your therapist so they can develop a treatment plan that helps you identify goals you wish to achieve during treatment. Throughout the week you will be in group therapy and also have one-on-one sessions with your therapists. These two forms of therapy will help you remain engaged and supported. You’ll also learn how to utilize coping skills, regulate your emotions and manage stress and anger.

Before discharging you or phasing you over into a less intense level of care, they will assist in housing placement. This can be beneficial to you and your recovery especially if going back home may have not been supportive, safe, or healthy for you while adjusting your new and wholesome lifestyle.

The LGBTQIA+ program they offer here provides not only therapy for mental health and addiction but also psychosocial assessments for gender-confirming surgeries as well. The idea of discussing what may be affecting you and your journey can be unsettling due to the fear of being judged or misunderstood. They offer a safe, secure atmosphere for you to be vulnerable, vocal, and honest. Group therapy will also be available which helps create a sense of community. You can learn from others who share similar experiences and can offer support and accountability.

Accepted Insurance

VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System 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

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) 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.

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.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

aftercare iconAftercare 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).

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.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

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.

Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy meant to be short-term and comprehensive. It was intended to help clients become more self-sufficent and move forward without the need for expensive, ongoing therapy. It includes an emotional self-help method called “rational self-counseling,” the purpose of which is to give clients all the skills needed to handle future emotional issues by themselves, or with significantly less professional help.

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.

I've been spending more time here than I would like, but the staff makes it a lot easier. I'm here with lung failure and was evaluated/judged to be nicotine free for 6 months even though I quit smoking last october, I did use patches and other nicotine products. I will show up in 6 months nicotine free for a spot on the transplant list. I wish I would have known that back when I could have arrived compliant. I guess I have to live or die because of my choices, but getting prescribed nicotine patches from the people who will be evaluating your fate to live or possibly die is a little crude and unfair. I guess it's true that life's not fair.

Over the past 15 years, I’ve had to visit this hospital more than 70 times due to a variety of chronic health issues. While there are caring individuals here who genuinely want to help, my overall experience has often been disappointing and frustrating. I’ve experienced frequent misdiagnoses, particularly with dermatological issues, which ultimately led me to seek out private care to receive an accurate diagnosis. Unfortunately, following incorrect treatments for too long has resulted in long-term consequences for my health. This is one of many examples where I felt my care here lacked thoroughness or follow-up. There have also been moments when I encountered doctors who seemed rushed, dismissive, or indifferent. While I understand that healthcare workers are under immense pressure, it doesn’t take away from the fact that compassion and proper communication are crucial—especially for patients struggling with ongoing health concerns. My appendix situation was another difficult experience. I initially came to this hospital with severe abdominal pain and was told it was likely a stomach bug. A few weeks later, when the pain worsened, I sought private emergency care and learned it was actually appendicitis, requiring immediate surgery. I can’t help but wonder what might have happened if I hadn’t followed my instincts and gone elsewhere. Testing follow-ups have also been inconsistent. I’ve had countless blood draws and imaging done here, yet I’ve rarely received follow-up calls or in-depth explanations. I’ve often had to research results on my own, which shouldn’t be the norm. I’ve also struggled to get access to consistent physical therapy, adequate dental care, and support from specialty clinics like dermatology and neurology. The chronic pain clinic and sleep study process were particularly underwhelming and left me feeling like just another number. I’ve spent thousands out of pocket over the years to receive competent care in the private sector. And while I’m incredibly grateful for the VA system as a whole, especially for offering care to veterans like myself, I believe this specific location could greatly benefit from more accountability, training, and communication between departments and providers. This feedback isn’t meant to attack. It’s meant to shed light on a system that could serve its veterans better. I’ve changed a lot over the past year, thanks to profound personal growth and new perspectives. I no longer carry the same anger I once did—but I still feel a responsibility to share honest experiences in the hopes that future patients receive better care

Dr. Padia is an exemplary MD working at the Sleep Apnea Clinic. She is personable, available, and kind. The Tech guy, Zach, is also very knowledgeable and helpful. The VA is often a mixed bag that toggles between mild neglect to outright incompetence. Not so with the aforementioned. Both are top of the line. It is always a pleasure to attend an appointment at this location for reasons alluded. Give both my highest recommendation. One walks away feeling like they actually care to advance the highest standards of their profession. Which is to say, they are not filling space to collect a pay check.

I have been receiving care at this facility for almost two decades. The physicians, nurses, technicians and all ancillary staff have been empathetic, helpful and exceedingly competent in the execution of their duties. Rather than going on, I would just say that I would wholeheartedly recommend this facility to any veteran and their families. Remember we are all people, so give them the benefit of the doubt and I believe your experience will closely replicate my own. Thank you especially Dr. Choi, Dr. Karam and Dr. Clay!
