FINDING TREATMENT

Access to substance
abuse treatment services may be subject to financial and other considerations.
It may be helpful to check with your insurance provider to determine what type
of treatment and which treatment providers your insurance will pay for. It can
also be helpful to speak with your child’s health provider, school counselor or
student health services for recommendations. The following may also be helpful:
The Partnership at
DrugFree.org has a guide for “How To Find The Right Help for Your Child With An Alcohol or
Drug Problem” (pdf.) This guide can help parents/guardians/caregivers
determine what actions to take and be an educated advocate for their child.
The Michigan Department of Community Health - Department of Licensing and
Regulatory Affairs maintains a searchable
data base of Michigan state-licensed substance abuse programs.
The Michigan Department of Community Health Mental Health and Substance
Abuse Administration - Bureau of Substance Abuse and Addiction Services provides central entry points for all Michigan Medicaid eligible and
indigent (uninsured) children and adults requesting mental health and/or
substance abuse information and services through the Access Management System.
