Drug and Alcohol Intervention Services in Michigan

Newman Interventions is a family intervention group. We have helped many families in Michigan with alcohol abuse intervention and drug addiction intervention. Our services are available for families across the state. We offer professional intervention services for any situation.

Substance use and addiction impact men and women of all ages. Families in Michigan who need help may not know where to turn. Our intervention team helps the family through every part of the process.

This includes finding detox and residential treatment, organizing and performing the intervention, and bringing the client to the treatment center.

In our professional opinion, residential treatment is far more effective than a non-residential setting. For example, alcoholics benefit from lengthy residential care. Moreover, once your loved one has entered a program, we can help arrange family therapy for everyone involved. Contact an intervention specialist for more details.

Alcohol Addiction Intervention in Michigan

Alcoholism leads to significant mental health problems, drug addiction, problem gambling, and other individual issues. Alcohol abuse intervention remains the best option. Our professional intervention teams can help with any severity of alcoholism.

Individuals struggling with alcoholism often feel they cannot function normally without alcohol and struggle to abstain from alcohol. Unfortunately, this results in unnecessary prescription medication and behavioral problems leading to a downward spiral.

The best form of prevention is intervention. Severe alcoholism requires the family or even community to come together. An intervention provides the family with education, support, and hope for a successful outcome.

Residential and Outpatient Treatment for Substance Abuse

According to SAMHSA, there are over 350 substance use treatment programs and services in Michigan, including residential and outpatient programs. These two options offer clinical services to treat addiction.

There is a difference between each treatment center option. Generally, the type of addiction may determine what is required. For example, alcohol addiction benefits from residential care, whereas a recreational cocaine addict may benefit from outpatient care.

Who Benefits from What Treatment?

According to a study published by the University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry, mid-life adults have notably higher alcohol and other substance use rates than older adults. In addition, they maintain higher levels of use over time.

Generally, mid-life adults benefit from residential rehabilitation because it provides more structure, routine, and stability. Older adults tend to opt for outpatient options because of work or family commitments and less severe addiction.

However, every situation is unique. Our intervention team helps the family determine what approach is best.

Michigan Rehab and Recovery Breakdown

Before the family intervention occurs, our specialist helps them arrange treatment. The person must attend a program that meets their needs. Here is a breakdown of some of Michigan’s detox, rehab, and recovery options.

There are 71 drug and alcohol detox programs. Detoxification is the first step to managing withdrawal symptoms and easing cravings.
According to SAMHSA, there are 60 long-term residential rehabilitation programs—this continues to remain the best option.
There are 353 outpatient rehabilitation programs.
309 substance use treatment centers offer telehealth and telemedicine therapy.

Generally, family intervention results in the patient attending residential treatment. For example, an alcohol abuse intervention is done with long-term residential rehab in mind because of the severity of alcoholism the patient struggles with.

Finding Drug and Alcohol Rehab

Finding drug and alcohol rehab begins with knowing the extent of addiction. Our professional interventionists assist with this when planning the intervention. In addition, we have extensive resources to help narrow the search for substance use treatment.

Unfortunately, the coronavirus pandemic increased the need for reliable and effective drug and alcohol rehab in Michigan. Countless families required life-saving intervention. According to the University of Michigan, the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with reports of increased substance use throughout the state.

College students were at high risk for binge drinking, for example. Overall, more college students nationwide have added illicit drugs such as marijuana and amphetamine to their back-to-school repertoire.

Whether you are a college student or a resident of the state and struggling with addiction, finding the proper rehab is critical. Anyone who has abused drugs or alcohol has experienced adverse events leading to the need for expert healthcare. There are excellent treatment resources in the state, and our experts help your family find the right one.

Family Therapy Following a Successful Intervention

The intervention process is stressful. Once the individual enters residential drug or alcohol rehab, it is time for the family to begin their healing. Support groups, individual family counseling, or group therapy play an essential role.

Twelve-step programs and Alcoholics Anonymous extend their services to family members of recovering alcoholics. The mental health of everyone involved with the intervention has taken a beating. In our professional opinion spending the time now to address family issues makes it easier to support your loved ones when they finish rehab.

Our professional interventionists begin this process when working with the family and planning the intervention. We help families address problems of co-dependence, enabling, and old arguments. This gives them enough push to continue this work once the intervention is complete and successful.
