About Addiction Treatment Services (UMATS) at Rachel Upjohn
Our services are based on successful models of care and the wisdom of recovering individuals, supported by research, and delivered with compassion, hope, and respect for diversity.
We are committed to achieving positive outcomes through outstanding care for people recovering from substance use disorders, including problems with prescription medications, alcohol, and other drugs.
We offer assessments and a full range of evidence-based therapy options for individuals, groups, couples, and families. Recognizing that substance-related concerns range from milder problems to severe dependence, we provide early intervention and education as well as recovery-oriented addiction therapy, both for the individuals who are struggling as well as their friends and family.
We serve a diverse range of patients who have varying degrees of problems. We specialize in working with adolescents, young adults and college students, health professionals, and dually diagnosed individuals with both mental health and substance use issues.
We approach recovery from multiple perspectives, with the understanding that a fully realized recovery depends on physical, emotional, social, and spiritual wellbeing. Customized treatment plans are based on individual needs, strengths and responsibilities, and the severity of the problem.
Regardless of the level of treatment, each person is engaged in developing a specific plan for recovery. Supportive family members, friends, and others whose lives are affected are encouraged to participate in the process.
We use a multidisciplinary, professional approach to treatment, combining patient care, research, and education in the same setting. Our physicians, nurses, and social work therapists work together to provide individuals with the help they need.
Many patients with substance use disorders also suffer from symptoms of depression and anxiety. As part of the U-M Health System’s Department of Psychiatry, we monitor our patients for symptoms of such co-occurring illnesses and provide on-site psychiatric consultation when needed. For patients already receiving mental health care, we work with their community psychiatrist or therapist to coordinate care for both problems.
Levels of Care
-
Outpatient
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.
-
Inpatient
Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy.
-
Aftercare
Aftercare programs provide ongoing support after you complete a rehab program. They may include several components to help you maintain sobriety including therapy, community support groups and relapse prevention strategies. This gives you a network of resources as you reintegrate into your daily life.
Detox Service Setting
-
Outpatient Detox
Outpatient detox gives you access to medically supervised withdrawal services while still allowing you to live at home. You’ll attend a clinic for treatment and monitoring. This flexible option is suitable for those with mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms who have strong support systems.
-
MAT
Medication assisted treatment combines medication and counseling to manage withdrawal and reduce cravings for opioid and alcohol addiction. Medications may include methadone, buprenorphine or naltrexone. MAT is tailored to your needs so you can actively participate in your treatment journey.
