I went to the farm and stayed for a little over 3 months. The treatment duration is determined by the therapists. The shortest duration I saw was 2 1/2 months. Longest I saw was 4 months but most do around 90 days. I had moments I really loved the farm, and others where I felt like I hated it. Their rules are really strict and you re there for a while. However, it did work for me. It was a long journey. I got yelled at for breaking rules, for sleeping in, and absolutely resented waking up early every morning to do work duties. Definitely cried a few times. By day 50 I was like get me the heck out of here but had months to go. But every time I got upset, I d sleep on it and always decided to stay. Now I m much better. I can wake up for an actual job early without a problem. I have more self control, more friends, more support, I try to follow the rules in real life situations, try to be a good person, and have a much more rewarding life overall. The Farm is really challenging but it does actually work if you listen to them and do what they tell you to do and don t fight it. It s hard to follow their schedule and rules every day for so long, but it just might change your life.

Other Forms of Payment

daily iconDaily

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

free iconFree

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) 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.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically 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.
inpatient iconInpatient
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.
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). One of their primary goals is to assist residents in finding a place within the recovering community. They work hard to help them develop a foundation in local 12 step groups and to build meaningful relationships with others in recovery.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Living in community with recovering individuals offers residents a chance to build healthy relationships and practice cooperation. Before completing treatment, their residents secure employment and housing and join their six-month aftercare program. Relapse prevention groups – Designed for people who have already been engaged in the recovery process and there is concern about their ability to sustain long-term recovery. Objectives include educating clients about the relapse process, assessing recent recovery status, identifying high-risk situations, developing and clarifying goals and their relationship to recovery.
sober-living iconSober 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.

Treatments

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 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.

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.

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.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Animal therapy (aka pet therapy or animal-assisted therapy) can be very healing, as it allows patients to bond with animals, who give unconditional love. This is particularly useful for those who suffered trauma by the hands of people, who may be able to trust and form closer attachments to animals than humans at certain stages of rehabilitation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My experience as a private pay client: the admission/intake process was handled poorly with ineffective communication.Brought concerns about privacy violations to the staff early on that were not resolved. Staff would thwart efforts to communicate outside the agency(mail, phone), and they had to be provided a copy of the Michigan Mental Health code.Was not provided mental health treatment, medication, or a licensed credentialed therapist for the duration of my stay. Asked for a family therapy session which was not accommodated.Safety concerns arose for myself and other clients that were not addressed.Routinely served expired food (not exaggerating). If you are seeking long term treatment and are private pay it s possible you ll have a better experience at Brighton.

Although I had many great experiences here, I was disappointed by the end. If you are self-pay, they will try to suck every last dollar out of you. Most of the residents are covered by their insurance I, however, was not. After already staying nearly an entire month longer than the regular stay, I had informed staff that I believed I was done with my treatment and ready to go home. They forced me to stay another week/week and a half and pay my way or I would not be able to complete or get the correct certification. it was clearly just to get more money out of me. i'm doing well now and I am forever grateful to Dawn Farms but I am still so disappointed in the money grabbing.

I have been involved with Dawn Farm for many years, and am continuously amazed by their success in reaching clients in meaningful ways, that ensure access to and information about long term recovery. The caliber of the residential, outpatient, transitional and detox programs are the highest in our region by a long shot- and I know tons of us in the recovering community are grateful for the Farm's continued support.
