Treatment for Young People in Michigan

Michigan organizes addiction care through regional Community Mental Health programs, so a young person can move from assessment to outpatient, residential, or medical detox without leaving the system. Michigan expanded Medicaid as the Healthy Michigan Plan, and 266 in-scope programs bill it — a big reason Michigan treatment stays reachable for families. Teen intensive outpatient typically runs about 6 hours a week under ASAM's adolescent criteria, lighter than the 9-plus hours ASAM sets for adults, which lets students keep up with school. Statewide, 251 programs treat alcohol use disorder, and most also screen younger clients for marijuana, stimulant, and prescription-drug misuse.

  • Programs range from Detroit's dense urban network to quieter Great Lakes shoreline settings.
