Rainbow Center of Michigan Inc

They provide outpatient, telemedicine and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Highland Park is set up for.

They detox from opioids. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 1 of the 8 centers near Highland Park offers one at all.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Ask whether the groups are split by age, because in Highland Park that can mean one mixed room rather than several.

Alongside this, Highland Park has 42 NA meetings and 5 free AA meetings.

They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Highland Park it may be mixed.

Most programs build the family in, and how far they do it is a real difference between two centers. A release of information, signed by the patient, is what opens that door, and it can be narrow or wide. Ask how often the family sessions meet and whether they happen in person.

Somebody works through a short list, and the clinical detail comes later at an assessment. A family member can make the call and answer much of this, though some questions only the person using can answer. Describe what is happening rather than the manageable version of it.

It happens to most people at some point, and it says nothing about whether this will work. Shame is the main reason people wait, and waiting is the thing that makes it worse. Ask whether medication is on the table this time if it was not before.
