Levels of care to expect
Care is matched to the person, usually after an assessment. Depending on what is available near Ann Arbor, options range from medically supervised detox and residential treatment to intensive outpatient programs, regular outpatient counseling, and medication for opioid or alcohol use disorder. Alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal can be dangerous, so ask about medical withdrawal management before stopping heavy use.
Paying for treatment
Michigan expanded Medicaid, so more adults with low incomes qualify than in non-expansion states. Michigan Medicaid (including Healthy Michigan Plan), administered by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, covers medically necessary substance use disorder treatment, including medications for opioid use disorder. Covered levels of care and prior authorization rules vary by plan, so confirm detox and residential coverage before you go.
If you have private insurance, federal parity rules require your plan to cover substance use treatment on terms comparable to medical care; ask about in-network programs and prior authorization. See our Medicaid and rehab guide for how coverage works.
