If you’re a Michigander seeking substance abuse treatment but worry about your ability to pay then you may want to consider Catholic Charities of Shiawassee and Genesee Counties.

These services include individual and family mental health counseling for people of all ages which can help you address the root of your addiction and cope with its life-altering effects.

In addition to counseling and substance use treatment and recovery services, the center has a warming and cooling shelter to protect unhoused people from inclement weather, a soup kitchen, clothing bank and help with referrals for housing, food and furniture.
