What We Treat
Substance use disorders—whether from alcohol, drugs, or both—affect not only the individual but also their loved ones. Many also face co-occurring mental health conditions, making recovery even more challenging. Without the right support, these struggles can feel overwhelming and isolating.
At Enlightened Recovery Michigan, we believe in the possibility of healing for everyone. Through medical care, therapy, and personalized support, we help individuals regain control, rebuild relationships, and rediscover hope. No matter where you are in your journey, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
The Impact of Substance Misuse and the Importance of Seeking Help
Alcohol and drug misuse remain significant public health challenges, placing a heavy burden on individuals, families, and communities. Recent data shows that over 27 million people in the U.S. use illicit drugs or misuse prescription medications, while nearly one in four adults and adolescents engage in binge drinking each month.
The economic toll is staggering, with substance misuse costing an estimated $249 billion for alcohol-related issues and $193 billion for illicit drug use annually. These numbers highlight the urgent need for compassionate, effective treatment. Seeking professional help is a critical step toward breaking free from addiction’s cycle and reclaiming a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Explore the conditions we treat and take the first step toward a brighter, healthier future.
Alcohol Addiction
Alcohol addiction (AUD) is a chronic disease that affects a person’s ability to control their drinking. Over time, alcohol dependence can lead to serious health problems, including liver disease, heart complications, and mental health disorders. Many people with alcohol addiction find it difficult to stop on their own due to withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, tremors, nausea, and even seizures. At Enlightened Recovery Michigan, we provide medically supervised detox and residential treatment to help individuals safely withdraw from alcohol while building a foundation for long-term sobriety.
Drug Addiction
Substance use disorder (SUD) occurs when repeated drug use leads to dependence and disrupts daily life. Drug addiction affects brain chemistry, making it difficult to stop using without professional help. Our treatment programs provide a structured, supportive environment where individuals can safely detox and develop the skills needed for lasting recovery.
Opioid Addiction
Opioids are highly addictive drugs that can cause both physical and psychological dependence. They work by binding to opioid receptors in the brain, reducing pain but also triggering a sense of euphoria that can lead to misuse. Over time, tolerance builds, requiring higher doses to achieve the same effect, which increases the risk of overdose. We treat addiction to both prescription and illicit opioids, including:
- Heroin – A powerful and fast-acting opioid that creates intense highs and severe withdrawal symptoms.
- Morphine – A prescription pain reliever that can lead to addiction when used beyond its intended purpose.
- Codeine – Often found in cough syrups, codeine can be misused for its sedative effects.
- Oxycodone (OxyContin, Percocet) – A commonly prescribed opioid for pain that has a high potential for addiction.
- Hydrocodone (Vicodin) – Another prescription opioid that can lead to dependence when misused.
- Fentanyl – A synthetic opioid that is up to 100 times stronger than morphine, making it extremely dangerous and often linked to overdoses.
- Methadone – A medication used for pain relief and opioid addiction treatment, but it also carries a risk of misuse.
- Buprenorphine – Often used in medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction, but it can still be misused.

Stimulant Addiction
Stimulants increase energy and alertness by affecting dopamine levels in the brain. While some stimulants are prescribed for conditions like ADHD, their misuse can lead to addiction, anxiety, paranoia, and cardiovascular issues. Stimulants we treat include:
- Cocaine – A highly addictive drug that creates a short-lived euphoric high, followed by a hard crash that can drive compulsive use.
- Crack Cocaine – A potent, smokable form of cocaine that leads to rapid dependence and severe health complications.
- Methamphetamine (Meth, Crystal Meth) – A synthetic stimulant that can cause extreme energy, aggression, and long-term brain damage.
- Amphetamines (Adderall, Dexedrine) – Prescription stimulants used for ADHD but frequently misused for their energizing effects.
- MDMA (Ecstasy, Molly) – A psychoactive drug that alters mood and perception but can cause severe dehydration, depression, and dependence.
Sedative & Tranquilizer Addiction
Sedatives and tranquilizers slow brain activity, making them useful for treating anxiety and sleep disorders. However, long-term use can lead to dependence, withdrawal symptoms, and overdose. We treat addiction to:
- Benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium, Ativan, Klonopin) – Often prescribed for anxiety and insomnia, benzodiazepines can be highly addictive.
- Barbiturates (Phenobarbital, Secobarbital) – Central nervous system depressants that can lead to overdose when mixed with alcohol or other drugs.
- GHB (Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate) – A sedative that is sometimes misused for its euphoric effects, leading to addiction and withdrawal symptoms.
Co-Occurring Disorders (Co-Occurring Disorder)
Many individuals struggling with addiction also experience mental health challenges. Our co-occurring disorder program addresses both conditions simultaneously to improve treatment outcomes. While we do not treat primary mental health conditions at this location, we provide support for individuals dealing with addiction alongside:
- Depression – A mood disorder that causes persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in daily life. Depression often coexists with substance abuse as individuals turn to drugs or alcohol to self-medicate.
- Anxiety – Excessive worry, panic attacks, and social anxiety can make it difficult to function in daily life. Many individuals use substances to cope with anxiety symptoms, leading to addiction.
- Bipolar Disorder – Characterized by extreme mood swings, including manic highs and depressive lows, bipolar disorder can increase the risk of substance use as individuals attempt to stabilize their emotions with drugs or alcohol.
- PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) – Trauma-related symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional numbness can lead individuals to use substances as a coping mechanism, making addiction treatment essential for recovery.
