About Black Family Development, Inc. – Detroit
The Black Family Development’s Samaritan Center is located in Detroit, Michigan. They provide community treatment to address the impact of clients with dual-diagnosed substance use and mental health symptoms. Adolescents, adults, and their families can access outpatient substance use treatment in the form of individual and group counseling.
It’s great that they have a woman-only intervention program that targets the unique mental health challenges faced by women. The Women’s Relapse Prevention program uses mindfulness-based cognitive behavior therapy that helps women address their trauma to manage unhelpful reactions to triggers. Black Family Development cares about women and it shows. So women can attend the program worry-free by providing childcare, bus tickets, and transportation.
Another notable specialty service at the Samaritan Center is the Hope Program. It’s part of their Juvenile Justice Services. It works with youths who need substance use and/or co-occurring disorders treatment. Court-ordered youths and their families receive culturally relevant, personalized, and strength-based outpatient treatment in a non-restrictive environment. Through therapy, education, and life skills the goal is to reduce substance use by promoting long-lasting abstinence.
Other substance use services at the Samaritan Center include HIV/AIDS education, home management training, crisis intervention, mental health referral, and an advocacy service.
