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. They offer an eight weeks program. During the first four weeks they arrange group meetings twice a week, and for the last four weeks, an individual session is required weekly

Inpatient

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.

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.

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.

Substance Abuse

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.

Clinical Services

Cognitive 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.

Group 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.

Individual 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.

Family 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

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.

Be prepared to be treated very poorlyBe prepared to be sworn at, belittled and yelled atBe prepared to navigate 19 steps to get to testing area (non ADA compliance)Be prepared to be treated like you have no choice ( reality has a built in clientele via EATON COUNTY; etc)And since they have a steady built in clientele, they have ZERO reason to change.If anyone falls down their 15 steps PLEASE CALL YOUR ATTORNEY AND SUE. Give them a detailed report from your attorney something they can read aboutThis hovel should be SHUT DOWNThe staff is beyond RUDEBEYOND RUDE AND CONDESCENDINGDONT GO.MY ADVICECOMPLAIN, STAND UP FOR YOURSELF.REFUSE TO USE THEIR JUNK SERVICES ( drop tests, vastly sub par counselingCALL AND COMPLAINAnd just in case you find yourself in this trap you can choose to go to another facility that does the same testingI forget the name, but there is a place on WAVERLY Road across from Burger King , the staff is polite, non-condescending, non-angry.REFUSE to go to reality The CHARLOTTE office or the LANSING office (both equally terrible) and your vehicle will most likely be broken into and you may very possibly be assaulted by their great clientele or staffThe reason why you refuse to go to realityNumber one . The 15 steps you have to navigate. If you have any any any sort of leg back neck, ankle foot issues simply refused to navigate their stairs.Number two The staffs openly hostile and disrespectful actsRefuse to goGo to the place on WAVERLY Road across from Burger KingSave yourself a whole lot of headaches , being disrespected, And having to urinate with the door open (male and female) in a random hallway with people walking by.The only thing keeping randoms from seeing you sitting on the toilet ladies , is 150 pound female acting like a Supreme Court JusticeThe only thing keeping the men from being seen urinating is a 300 pound purported X police officer, with so much hair product a simple cigarette would like the man on fire. I personally believe It s due to a lack of time in the showerThe facilities are junkThe staff is horrendousEven if you have already been to Project reality SWITCH PLACES . COMPLAIN stand up for yourself.

This place is a joke, they are very rude to everyone. Lady who answers the phone acts like my husband is stupid. She yelled at him for not calling when he arrived but knocked on the door.. well maybe instead of having one language sign up you have different signs up in different languages. It might help you guys out a lot more. The lady who always her the older lady gray hair short woman, needs to learn how to treat others. If she hates her job maybe it s time to retire. I have to give 1 star since it won t allow me to do zero. But this place is a zero stars all around. First the cancel his appointment and told him some excuses drove by and their still open. Smh this place I swear needs new people:

The REGULAR staff are fun wonderful people. But should they not come to work, it's a NIGHTMARE!! The owner is too horrible to even talk about! Apparently there are two owners and I have only had the displeasure of speaking to one of them. She not only sent me away because I was following what the normal staff have instructed me to do, but then she swore and cussed out a friend of mine called the cops on us because we refused to allow her to speak to us in such a manner. Not that we did anything other than ask if she was going to allow us to drop. This is the most utilized company for our court system, of course I expected different, and so did the cops that tried their best to assist us. Kudos to the two officers that showed up! As for the results, she was believed and we were deemed liars by probation. This woman cost us quite a bit because she can't hold her childish temper.

What a joke this place is. They belittle people in front of the whole group. The counselor Dave does nothing but brag about himself. I don t know what Cracker Jack college he got his degree from but he should be ashamed. You are there to counsel people not make them feel small. My son went and we paid up front he dropped dirty which would have been because he just got sent there by the court. Kicked him out and did not return the money. I have friends that go there and he yells at them in front of the other classmates. The courts should be ashamed using this place.

If you don't like your job there quit and get a new job! Specify hours of operation for each day in time blocks not just 8am -7pm. That leaves the impression that you're open all day.

The only 'reality' about this 'Reality Counseling' business scam is that is a money making business put into play by the Michigan Court system. They do not care about you, other than for your money. They preach against addiction, yet some of them smoke cigarettes, and some are fat and cannot control their own eating habits. Hypocrisy if you ask me. They are unprofessional, rude, and offensive. But keep in mind, this place is a part of your punishment for enjoying life, all part of the Michigan Legal System...for the most part, the USA Legal System. My suggestion, follow the unfair guidelines of your probation, and then get back to enjoying your life. Reality Counseling is an absolutely rotten place. Avoid it if you can.

I have to say watching my friend go through this process of the courts and probation. This place is an absolute joke. They are not interested in helping you get through an addiction, they believe everyone is an addict and went on record saying our goal is to make you never want to drink again. That s not your call to make, that s not something you get to decide for someone just because they made a mistake. If you have to take classes here I m so sorry, with the current status of our economy- good luck trying to do 2 counseling sessions a week, 3 AA meetings and testing. You won t be able to afford it, and if you miss anything they make sure to let you know you will be in trouble. Good luck having life happen to you while going through this process. Do better Reality Counseling, you are a leech on society. I ve watched my friend cry she can t afford any of this and this process is because she made one mistake and can t help support her parents anymore. you re not interested in helping anyone. It s all money.

Please don t go here especially if you are looking for immediate help! I needed a substance abuse evaluation done, and while the lady who did my assessment was kind, no one else was. 3 weeks after my assessment I had not heard anything from this place and I called. The lady who answered said my information was ready and I could pick it up the following day. I went the following day to pick it up; not only were they not open, but when I called to see if they would be open later, the lady who answered the phone was NASTY to me. She was sassy & eventually hung up the phone on me. I explained a coworker of hers said my paperwork would be ready. She said she couldn t find it & that I would need to call back a different time. I asked when that would be, and she said i dont know. It s not my job to have my paperwork in order/ready! I called back and a different coworker answered saying he found my paperwork and it would be ready the following day (it wasn t). I had to wait another week before I got it back, and by then it was too late for what I needed it for (they said originally it would take about 1-2 weeks to hear back).
