Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers near Adrian, MI

You can really tell that the staff is there for their clients. I enjoyed the ability to be creative again in their art therapy class. I also liked how I had options in my recovery plan. And, their food is the best!

A Forever Recovery

My name is Andy and I went to this center a few months back. My mother made the initial call and spoke to an intake counselor who was very helpful in answering all of her questions. He always was honest, helped her along the way and helped me with questions I had as well. He made my mother feel secure in her decision and he made sure that all of her concerns were answered before she sent me here. I think we both felt at ease knowing that we were getting so much help before I even got here. So that was step one. When I got to the airport I had a gentleman waiting for me to transport me back to the detox and center and he was just as friendly and helpful as I could have hoped for. He understood that I was uncomfortable. He got me something to drink so I stayed hydrated and all in all it went smoothly. I did my intake when I got to the center and that was signing a few admission papers and that was smooth as well. I did not have or notice any problems upon coming into the center. When i got to the detox I was cranky and tired and the staff understood that. They did what they had to in terms of getting me admitted and made me comfortable as well. It takes a certain kind of person to deal with people of addiction and they do a great job. They are very concerned for our well being while we are here. I felt safe, well taken care of and got the help the I needed while detoxing. A short time after that I was transferred to the main building where I was now set to start my recovery program. I was not sure what to expect, but there was so much to do and consider. There were so many different groups to attend and they were there to help me find something I was interested in. I loved that I actually had a say in how things went. Bottom line is not all things work for everyone and I think you really have to have a good attitude and be willing to get the help. We need to look at life and be thankful for the opportunities that we are given, and this is one opportunity that I am thankful I was given. It has changed my life and it all started with my mom making one call and that one intake counselor that put in the time and effort to make me try something that I was not able to try on my own without help. I hope that this inspires someone to go and get some help and take an opportunity that is handed to them it may be the last step to you getting the help you need before you are writing a review of your own telling someone the same thing.

Behavioral Rehabilitation Services

I wish I had found a place like Behavioral Rehabilitation Services when I first started using instead of 7 years later. It would have saved my family and I a lot of heartache. When my son was 2 years old I started taking pain pills. I’ve had migraines my whole life but they got extremely bad around that time and with a child I wasn’t able to just lay down for an entire day. My doctor prescribed me my regular migraine medication and some Vicodin. There were times when I would wake up with a migraine for days in a row and my tolerance for Vicodin became higher and higher while my migraines became more and more frequent. My doctor went from prescribing me Vicodin to Percocet to Roxicodone and the number of pills he was prescribing became higher and higher. Within 2 years I was a complete mess. My husband knew I was taking the pain medication and we could both see that it was becoming more and more of a problem. However, with the fact that I was in almost constant pain I couldn’t see any solution to the problem. The reason I started taking the pain meds was so that I could function and take care of our child when I had a migraine. As my habit became worse and worse we decided that I couldn’t really be trusted to take care of our child by myself and we started hiring a nanny to help me take care of our child. When we decided on this the reason I started taking the pain meds wasn’t there anymore. I couldn’t take care of our son when I had a migraine but I also couldn’t take care of him when I was taking the pain meds. At first I tried to stop taking the pills cold turkey. I couldn’t do it like that so we tried weaning me off them at home and that was a bad idea. I love my husband but that week where we tried to wean me off the pills almost killed our marriage. We realized that if we wanted to save our marriage I would have to go somewhere else to detox and so we found a place for me to detox. I was there for a week and a half and when I came home I had been off everything for 2 days. It was another 2 days before I started using my meds again. I think the only reason I’m still married to my husband today is that I never lied to him about what was going on. I never hid the pills I was taking or anything like that. It was when I started using the meds again that I realized I was well and truly a drug addict. Before that, I was in complete denial about that fact. I had thought that once I was off the pain meds I would completely okay with not using them again. It didn’t work out that way and 2 months later I was in my first rehab. I was a horrible person to everyone there. I was still under the impression that I wasn’t really a drug addict. Most of the other patients at the rehab I was at were there for heroin or meth or something like that. For some reason that made me think I was better than them when that really wasn’t the case at all. I relapsed after that rehab and the next 3 rehabs after that. Behavioral Rehabilitation Services was the 5th rehab I have been to. I got more help at BRS than at all the other rehabs combined. The facility is really beautiful and the staff there are wonderful. They made me confront my life and my addiction in a way that no one else has done before. They didn’t let me delude myself into thinking that my addiction wasn’t as bad as it was. After the 4 rehabs I had been to previously you would think that I would have confronted the fact that I was truly addicted to drugs. I hadn’t though, not at all. What was great about BRS is that while they made me confront my addiction head on they did it in a way that I was comfortable with and because of that I was able to get much more out of my program at BRS. At BRS I felt that I was understood so much better. Whether I was talking to my counselor one on one or whether I was in a group I felt like I could talk and be understood. I got the help I needed when I was at Behavioral Rehabilitation Services and because of that I able to take an active part in my son’s life. For the first time in years I’m being a mother and a wife. After so many failed attempts at rehab I feel like I’m in control of my life again.
