LGBTQ Addiction Treatment in Michigan

Treatment rules and programs in Michigan

Who oversees treatment

Michigan's Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), through its Bureau of Community and Health Systems, licenses substance use disorder programs; the Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) oversees treatment policy.

Prescription monitoring

Michigan's prescription drug monitoring program is MAPS, the Michigan Automated Prescription System, housed in LARA's Bureau of Professional Licensing. It collects dispensing data on Schedule 2-5 controlled substances.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Michigan has an overdose Good Samaritan law, passed in 2016, that shields people who seek medical help for an overdose from drug possession charges under certain conditions.

Court-ordered treatment

Michigan's Mental Health Code, Chapter 2A (Substance Use Disorder Services), has a court petition process for involuntary treatment of a person with a substance use disorder.

Featured IOP and day programs in Michigan

Family, rejection and recovery

Many LGBTQ people carry experiences of family rejection or strained relationships into treatment. Research on LGBTQ young people has linked family rejection with higher rates of substance use and depression, while family acceptance is protective.

Good programs make room for chosen family and offer family sessions when they help. Our guide on family rejection and recovery covers this in more depth.

How IOP and PHP work

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) usually meet about three hours a day, three to five days a week. Partial hospitalization programs (PHP), also called day treatment, run most of the day while you sleep at home. Both deliver group and individual therapy, and many include medication management.

Every program on this page reports one of these levels of care plus an LGBTQ program or group.
