About Dawn Farm – Spera
Dawn Farm - Spera offers various substance use addiction treatment options across Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti in Washtenaw County, Michigan. This facility on West Huron Street in Ann Arbor specializes in social detoxification. Social detox means you won’t be prescribed any medication for withdrawal. It usually involves monitoring and assistance from peers or counselors rather than medical professionals. Emphasis is on providing you with a safe space to cope with withdrawal symptoms while receiving psychological and emotional support. Social detox is the way to go If you’re dealing with mild withdrawal symptoms requiring no intensive medical intervention.
This facility offers a conducive and supportive environment for detox with a focus on creating a sustainable recovery plan afterward. Volunteering, community involvement and peer relationships are at this program’s core. You’ll attend daily mutual aid meetings to familiarize yourself with the recovery community. Their skilled counselors then conduct initial assessment or evaluation. These counselors will also supervise your withdrawal, create an individualized treatment plan and facilitate group therapy. They’ll also help you develop sustainable plans for continuing recovery and ongoing support. If your withdrawal is medically risky they’ll collaborate with community providers or a local emergency department to ensure your detox is safe and comfy.
This detox program is free. Another cool thing is that all their programs integrate smoothly, which allows for ongoing communication between care personnel. This makes it easy to move clients between various levels of care within their network. Depending on your unique condition, your ongoing treatment options post detox may include inpatient treatment or an outpatient program. You may also have access to recovery support services like case management or sober housing. These services may be available within their network or another community provider.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
Outpatient programs are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare. Dawn Farm's outpatient programs are designed to assist individuals in achieving lasting recovery from addictions. Their programs are largely based upon the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous. Clients are expected to develop and maintain a personal recovery program utilizing AA’s valuable principles.
Inpatient
Residential services provide an effective solution to drug and alcohol addiction. Since 1973, Dawn Farm has offered comprehensive help in a unique long-term treatment setting. They offer long-term residential experiences for individuals who suffer from addiction to drugs and alcohol with an average stay of 3 to 3 1/2 months. Treatment is built on solid recovery principles and includes significant involvement in the local recovering community.
Intensive Outpatient
Clients receiving care in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) typically have completed inpatient treatment, but some choose to enroll in IOP immediately following detox. Intensive outpatient rehabs offer high-level support for clients in early recovery and those at an increased risk of relapse. Most programs provide between nine and 20 hours of treatment per week, with services ranging from addiction counseling to recovery education to medication assisted treatment (MAT). Holistic therapies, such as acupuncture, are common.
Aftercare
Clients engaged in a rehab aftercare program have already completed high-level treatment and have begun to develop essential recovery skills. Rehab aftercare services are designed to support clients' sustained sobriety as they reintegrate into their home, workplace, and community. Case managers, care teams, and clients design the customized service portfolio that will best support the client's long-term sobriety. Clients may receive peer coaching, 12 step program induction, vocational training, and relapse prevention services.
12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. At Spera Recovery Center, clients attend daily 12-step meetings and are introduced to the recovering community, as well as the philosophies and traditions of 12-step programs.
Sober Living Homes
A vital part of the Dawn Farm residential program is the Chapin Street Project. All residential clients have the opportunity to enroll in their supportive transitional housing program—from six months to two years of supportive, recovery-based housing. Each resident must get a job, attend daily AA or NA meetings, and pay a modest amount for room and board. In addition, all residents must do service work with other addicts and alcoholics, as well as volunteer in some other form of community service.
Intervention Services
During a drug intervention in Michigan, family, friends, and colleagues share in their own words how a person's substance abuse has affected their lives. An intervention must be carefully planned, with the goal of encouraging the individual to get treatment for their addiction. Many rehab programs offer intervention services to help families prepare for this confrontation and guide them through the recovery process.
24-Hour Clinical Care
24-hour clinical care in Michigan is essential for certain phases of recovery treatment. During detox, many physical ailments related to the detox process can be lethal if not treated. Having medical staff available at all times provides the proper care for safe detox. Medications and other treatment can also make the process much more comfortable and bearable.
Medically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Treatment
Alcoholism
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug Addiction
Drug rehab in Michigan provides personalized treatment to help individuals break this cycle and regain control of their lives. Treatment methods are used in various levels of care, including inpatient rehab, partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, and standard outpatient treatment.
Dual Diagnosis
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Mental Health and Substance Abuse
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid Addiction
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). Several group therapy options are offered that are designed to help clients with varying needs, levels of motivation and intensity of substance use problems. Groups range in duration from 8 to 48 weeks depending upon client needs and preferences. Discovery groups – These groups are motivational in nature and are designed for clients that have not been clearly identified as an addict or alcoholic. Recovery groups – Designed for clients who are clearly identified as substance dependent. Objectives include educating clients about the processes of addiction and recovery, the fun- damentals of AA and 12 step recovery and developing and implementing a recovery plan.
Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Individual therapy is offered independently or in addition to group therapy. The appropriate duration, intensity and direction of therapy is determined on an individual basis.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. Dawn Farm provides clients with trauma symptoms access to clinical specialists trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Clinicians practicing EMDR at Dawn Farm have completed EMDR Institute approved training in EMDR, and have received clinical consultation by EMDR Institute approved trainers.
Family Therapy
Family Matters is a free ongoing program providing education and support for loved ones of addicts and alcoholics. Participating in Dawn Farm’s Family Matters group can make a powerful contribution to the process of recovery and of rebuilding relationships. You can take part in Dawn Farm’s Family Matters group even if your loved one is not currently in treatment. Topics include: Addiction 101; Treatment & 12 Steps; Relapse & Recovery; Communication; Family Dynamics; Boundaries & Codependency.
Life Skills
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Creative Arts Therapy
Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.
Experiential Therapy
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
