Intensive Outpatient Services

This program is tailored to the person’s needs and includes meetings over an 8 to 12 week duration. The program also includes family support services, access to psychiatric evaluation with medication management, and social support services.

Outpatient Services

A therapist provides individual, family and group treatment typically once per week for a period of 8 to 12 weeks. Outpatient therapy is intended for those active in their recovery, stepping down from more intensive services and need ongoing treatment, as well as services to those in the co-dependent family and adult children of alcoholics.

Case Management Services

These services are designed to assist the individual and treatment team with issues that might be derailing progress in treatment or those needs that cannot be addressed effectively in therapy services.

Recovery Peer Support Services

Peer support services assist individuals and families recovering from alcohol or drug problems. Services are provided by a Peer Recovery Coach who is someone who has been trained to provide peer services and who has gone through the journey of recovery themselves.

Early Intervention Services

Early intervention services are a good first step. The services are intended to be short in duration and they are educational, informative and assist in helping the individual determine if more treatment is necessary.

Co-Occurring Services

Behavioral health and substance abuse issues often go hand in hand. Easter Seals Michigan’s integrated treatment is the most effective approach for successfully treating people with co-occurring conditions.
