Recovery near Downtown Detroit
The facility sits in the Jeffries neighborhood just west of downtown Detroit. The area is primarily residential and commercial with a mix of older homes, small businesses, and community spaces. It is relatively close to major city hubs. Its closeness to the I-94 and I-96 corridor facilitates seamless access to downtown as well as nearby Dearborn and Ann Arbor. The area is served by DDOT bus routes with stops nearby for local transit to downtown and beyond.
Detroit is renowned for its automobile and rich cultural heritage, which makes it a fascinating place to seek healing. The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn is about nine miles from the facility and is worth exploring during recreational breaks while living onsite.
Many natural landscapes are nearby as well for recreation and relaxation purposes. These include the Detroit Riverwalk, which boasts a scenic walking area along the river. Corktown’s Roosevelt Park offers green spaces near the iconic Michigan Central Station. The Slow’s BBQ and Traffic Jam & Snug are nearby eateries where you can have a change of meals.
Short-term Medication Assisted Detox
Harbor Light recovery program in Detroit begins with a short term detox after your assessment and personalized treatment planning. The detox lasts between three to five days to get rid of addiction related toxins away from your body. The program incorporates medication assisted Suboxone to help you manage withdrawal symptoms and alleviate cravings.
Residential Recovery with Pastoral Care
Once you’ve stabilized after detox, the care team will assist you in transitioning to residential care. This program takes place in a structured, welcoming and nurturing space that promotes healing. While onsite, you’ll attend individual and group therapy to tackle underlying issues, develop coping strategies and prevent relapse. Family counseling rebuilds trust, mends relationships, and improves communication with your loved ones to strengthen your support network. Additionally, the program includes peer counseling and participation in self-help groups to reinforce your support network.
A unique component of this program is pastoral care including spiritual counseling. This strengthens your relationship with God and helps you find comfort and purpose in your healing journey. Psychiatric care is provided to support people with dually diagnosed mental health issues. They also offer grief counseling and specialty recovery for women. The program lasts between 10-90 days.
You can step down to their intensive outpatient program (IOP) with recovery housing or general outpatient programs (OP). Both are recovery focused treatment options that include daytime, evening and weekend sessions for flexibility. IOP is relatively more structured and involves more intense therapy than OP. It’s also an option if you’re seeking relatively intense therapeutic support to manage moderate substance use issues but don’t want residential care.
The full spectrum of services available in this facility includes case management. Your case manager advocates for your needs and helps connect you to social services to support your long-term recovery goals. This includes stable housing, job opportunities, and educational programs.
