Medical briefcase icon 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.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

aftercare iconAftercare

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 icon12-Step

12 step programs are typically community-based and peer-led, though many rehabs base their treatment models on this approach. Participants engage in regular 12 step meetings, which are anonymous, free, and accessible multiple times a day, 365 days a year in most communities. Participants are also mentored by self-selected sponsors who support them as they work through the 12 steps of recovery, which include addressing the causes of the disease, taking personal responsibility, and relinquishing control.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

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.

drugs iconDrug 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.

check iconDual 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 iconMental 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.

opium iconOpioid 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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Michigan helps participants view challenges more clearly so they can respond to them in healthy ways. During a limited number of structured sessions, clients learn about and practice these changes to effectively address substance use and mental health disorders.

dialectical iconDialectical 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.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

desert iconMotivational 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.

house-medical iconTrauma 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.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

life-skills iconLife 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.

I would love to be the savior and add a 5 star review, unfortunately I can't be that guy. I can however say that there are more positives than other reviewers may lead you to believe. Yes, it is very disheartening with the amount of time it takes to get anything done here let alone get a straight forward answer however with some perseverance the wheels do slowly start turning. I have been able to fulfill my needs here on a regular basis, although I do still run into hiccups. The staff turnover seems to be frequent so I can only imagine that lends itself to trying to run a smooth operation. It also seems a good portion of the staff is either jaded or indifferent to the patients. There are a few that put in genuine effort, when you come across one of them hold on for dear life. The building itself is nice and well kept. I wish there were more good things i could say as for the most part they have addressed my needs but not without adding to my stress level significantly. My advice, come here long before it's a necessity, expect a drawn out wait period with unfounded resistance and fingers crossed they will produce results.

Maria from Mexico! I think that was her name? She was super cute and most important she was kind. People come here for help they don't need the attitude from the front desk or anyone working I'm in mental health. So this is for maria from Mexico and also there was another sweetheart at the front that got me in to see Maria after she seen a coworker that was out of line a bit. No hard feelings we all have bad days and we are all human. Wake up everyday and be better than YOU were the day before.

It s always something. Always a 20 minute hold. The doctors are great so far, the staff on the other hand always seem so annoyed, rude or just not happy to be awake I guess. Not good for a mental health place. Makes my anxiety feel like I m bothering them so I hate calling to schedule anything or try to figure my meds out. I m definitely gonna be going somewhere else as soon as I can

Response from the owner5 months ago
Jacki, we have passed this along to the director of the Pontiac location so that he can look into this matter. While we have been incredibly busy and dealing with staff shortages, long wait times should not happen. You may be contacted by someone from this location to learn more about your experience. You should feel comfortable and welcome when you deal with our organization, not stressed, anxious, or nervous.

I used to love this place. I started my mental health journey here in 2018. I recently moved and was trying to get ahold of some genesight testing results from 2020, for my current psychiatrist. I drove 45 minutes from home (because they said they couldn't email, fax, or send over the results in any way because it would violate HIPPA, which I don't see how, considering it's my own test result.) Only to be told when I arrived, that I never completed the test, which is impossible, because the medications I was previously prescribed were discussed with the results of my testing with my previous psychiatrist at easter seals. This place is lazy, they do not want to help you, they're only in it for the money, and they way that went down just proved it to me. Fast forward a few days, I did a little research and found the genesight testing website, so I emailed them, curious if they had my results. They did, in fact, I now have a full copy of my psychotropic report. I hope everyone who is currently receiving services here happens to find a diamond in the rough, or moves on, because not only was I lied to, I was turned away with a "sorry, there's nothing we can do." When in fact, it would've only taken a little bit more digging on their part. It's a shame what this place has come to.

If you re looking for a Therapist at Easter Seals Pontiac, go elsewhere. Easter seals Pontiac does not have any therapists available. I ve been on a waiting list for over a year. They referred me elsewhere for care.

This place is terrible they refuse to help me any more with getting a shot, they basically put it as well you won't have a 5 minute conversation with your doctor simply to say hi to her so you dont get the help you need. WHY DO I NEED TO HAVE A 5 MINUTE CONVERSATION JUST TO GET HELP HOW PETTY!!! On top of that the doctors just shove medication down your throat till they think you feel better.

Response from the owner8 months ago
Thank you for leaving a review. We'd like to get more information from you in order to look into this matter. In some cases a medical consultation with a doctor is needed before medication can be prescribed. Please contact our director of awareness and outreach at 248.475.6413 so we can gather more information from you.
