Community Mental Health Service

Livingston County Community Mental Health is part of a collection of addiction and co-occurring disorder services based in Howell, Michigan. They are partnered with a large number of local providers so they can meet a diverse group of needs. They offer inpatient and outpatient treatment, including detox services. Their programs are open to youth and adults. A major point of interest about CMHSLC is that they provide addiction care to Medicaid recipients as well as those without insurance, making them a viable option if you've previously struggled with the cost of treatment.

Building A Strong Support Foundation

These programs have a scope that expands beyond traditional counseling. I like that through this facility you can get connected with peer groups, which are a core component of sustaining sobriety in recovery. Peer groups are a place where you come together and share with others in recovery, learning from one another's experiences and sharing in your recovery journeys. It's a social outlet, and any relationships you build here can become a part of your ongoing support network in the future.

Connections with Courts

If the consequences of addiction have created legal consequences in your life, it can help to be part of a program that communicates regularly with the court system. Community Mental Health works alongside the local courts dealing with substance related offenses. That means they may be able to connect you with supportive resources and help you understand the terms of any arrangements made with the court.

Crisis Services in Howell, Michigan

Something else about Community Mental Health that caught my eye is their emergency response services. If you find yourself in a mental health crisis, you can contact the office (walk in during business hours or call any time of day) and within minutes you'll be working with a crisis team to determine your needs. Their goal is to guide you to the appropriate level of care and minimize the need for hospitalization. Having access to emergency services like this can help keep you on track in the face of daunting challenges.
