According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), of the estimated 22 million Americans who suffered from substance dependence or abuse in 2002, over "94 percent of people with substance use disorders who did not receive treatment did not believe they needed treatment." Additionally, of the 362,000 people who recognized they needed treatment for substance abuse, "there were 88,000 who tried but were unable to obtain treatment for drug abuse in 2002," and "266,000 who tried, but could not obtain treatment for alcohol abuse."*

As a clinician, we know you've worked hard to help your patient realize the need for and agree to addiction treatment. We know treatment costs can be overwhelming, expecially to those with chemical dependency. Addiction Treatment Services is your partner in helping your patient finally break the addiction cycle regardless of his/her economic ability.

Our approach is holistic, caring and firm. We employ dual diagnosis, the 12 Steps, and a variety of therapuetic methodologies in an integrated care program that is patient focused.

Our continuum of care ranges from medically managed sub-acute detox, through residential and transitional housing programs, to outpatient therapy. Our care includes work with significant partner/family members and the complex relational issues surrounding addiction.

We work closely with Northern Michigan Substance Abuse Services (NMSAS) to obtain funding for treatment for our clients, and each client is assigned a case manager to assist with employment, recovery, daily living skills and support.

Recovery is difficult. Our clients are trapped in self-destructive behaviors. We educate, encourage, and reinforce concepts and behaviors which lead to sober, healthful living. You've gotten your patient this far. We will join with you as a partner in his/her recovery by delivering comprehensive and effective care.
