Henry Ford Maplegrove Center

They provide inpatient residential, inpatient hospital, outpatient, telemedicine and detox, which is the whole of what this address in West Bloomfield is set up for.

They handle detox for opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and West Bloomfield has 8 other centers to compare.

They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside West Bloomfield.

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to West Bloomfield.

They do video appointments, which matters if West Bloomfield is a drive for you.

There are 8 more within a short drive of West Bloomfield, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Ask both places the same questions and the differences come out quickly. Whoever answers the phone is not always whoever operates the program, because referral services are common in this field. Ask whether the person on the phone works for the center or for a referral service.

Nothing should change without a prescriber looking at it, and a good program works that way. A pain condition does not disappear during treatment and should be part of the conversation from the start. Bring the containers with the labels on, not a bag of loose pills.
