I really am in a personal struggle on whether to write this review. I don't want to convince anyone not to seek help there but they have some issues that they might not even be aware of. I was in the Partial Hospitalization Program by choice because I have been having a very hard time with my mental health for a while. Overall I feel better about my life and health after the program even though I only attended half before quitting it. The major issues I have with the program is they don't practice what they preach. They tell you to make clear realistic boundaries and to communicate them to the other party. They tell you to take the time to process your thoughts and how you want to communicate them before you respond. They tell you that if you are alway judging others you will always judge yourself and therefore won't be happy. That's all great advice but how come it doesn't apply to the therapists or psychologiclsts their? The notes on my file had things written that were judgements about me. Some of them were insecurities I already had. So to see it written out by a professional was not helpful. So of them were inaccurate in my opinion but were at least debatable. There was one thing put in the notes that really pissed me off. I was very clear about the reasons for moving to Michigan and the importance that Thanksgiving 2019 played in my life. In the notes it said I moved to Michigan because marijuana was legal here. That's a complete fabrication that you put those words in my mouth. You specifically asked it 2 times and I explain both times that wasn't the case. Then you made the statement "Its legal here so why not" I just said shook my head because that was now the third time you stated that so obviously it's what you wanted to believe. If someone said I moved to Colorado in 2015 because marijuana was legal they would be at least 60% correct. It played less than a 1% role in my decision to move here. I don't care that they think I am a pothead. That's not what bothers me. It's that there was zero mention of the actual reason or of Thanksgiving 2019. Which is a pivotal day in the course of my life the last 5 years. I was upset about all of these notes but didn't know how to tackle the subject of telling them without telling them I got the information from my clinical notes. My worry was that by telling them that they would censor their notes or I would censor what I say even more because I am afraid of being judged. I was working through how to tell them that and hadn't come up with a complete answer yet. They have you fill out an intake form everyday about how your feeling. I wasn't feeling great but I stated how proud of myself I was for still showing up to learn. I also stated very directly in the doctor's notes section. That today was not a great day to talk about anything. That I had created some extra tall walls over the weekend and I needed some time to bring them back down to figure out what I want to say. Less than 30 minutes later I was getting called out of class to talk about it. I was angry that I wasn't listening to. You tell us to make realistic boundaries and take time to process stuff. That's exactly what I did and you took a gaint dump on them. You literally stomped them into the curb with your foot.

Accepted Insurance

Outpatient Behavioral Health | University of Michigan Health-Sparrow works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

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.

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.

Per session payment lets you pay for each treatment at the time of service. You may also pay for a certain number of sessions up front and then pay for more if needed. This format allows you to tailor the financial investment to your specific needs and avoid having a large lump sum payment due at the end of the treatment program.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

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.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

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.
inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
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.
heart-hands iconIntervention 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.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
During a medically supervised detox, addictive substances are removed from your body while under the 24/7 supervision of medical professionals in an inpatient environment. This is the safest way to wean your body off of addictive substances, since quitting alcohol or certain drugs (like opioids or benzodiazepines) can be dangerous if done on your own. The program typically lasts around 5-7 days, but is highly individualized depending on your needs.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
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

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 (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 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.

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.

During trauma therapy in Michigan, you are guided through traumatic memories within a safe and supportive environment. Your therapist then provides you with tools to process traumatic events and reduce the symptoms that occur when you're exposed to a trigger. This improves your overall mental health and ability to function in the community.

To maintain a healthy and productive life, you need certain life skills. They help you make good decisions and build good relationships. Because they are key to long term recovery, most rehab programs in Michigan include integrated life skills training.

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.

Last week on May 9, 2023 my son was released from the clinic. When he came out he had a pair of shower shoes on his feet. I asked him where were his gym shoes (A brand new pair), that he wore when he was admitted. He said they told him they had misplaced them, along with two Vape Cartridges. However in checking his bag his other property was there. I really don't believe the property was misplaced. I think they have a thief working at the clinic, that's what I think. When you confiscate a patients personal property you are accountable for securing that property and returning it to the patient at the time of their discharge. There's no excuse what so ever for this to have happened. Maybe the clinic should look at how it processes and secures patients property. Patients expect to be cared for, not ripped off.

I have heard nothing but good things about Sparrow behavioral health! So I have been call every month since December 2021 in hopes that they would have an opening for me to see a psychologist, but each time I ve been told there s no openings! When I called June they said to call back mid July because they have a new doctor coming at the beginning of August! But when I call in July I was told there no new doctor coming till September and to call back in August. I called mid August and was informed that the new doctor coming October and to call in September! So today I called again and was told there s no new doctor starting in October and if I haven t gotten help by November to call back and see if I here any new openings! I feel like I m being lied too and can t understand why a hospital staff would do this! I d love to give one start for the treatment I ve received over the last 11 months but I ve given 2 stars because they have helped people I love and care for in the past!
