About Catholic Human Services, Inc. – Traverse City
Catholic Human Services has locations throughout the United States, including their site in Traverse City, Michigan. They offer many human centered services, including substance use and mental health treatment. They’ll bill your insurance for you but they don’t want finances to be a barrier to treatment. If you’re uninsured, you can get treatment on a sliding scale based on family size and income. They’re sometimes able to use assistance funds to help you access treatment.
They have outpatient, CARF accredited alcohol and drug treatment for adolescents and adults. The services are in person or virtual depending on what works best for you. They use certified counselors and the programs complement other avenues of recovery such as the 12 Step programs.
When you’re addressing substance use, it’s important to identify any co-occurring mental health disorders like depression or anxiety. The program offers individual and group therapy to help you get to the root of your substance use. There’s also family counseling if it’s appropriate to your situation.
When in counseling, you’ll tackle issues such as loss and grief. You’ll learn how to manage stress to avoid triggers that cause you to turn to substances to cope. Many people turn to substance use to deal with issues such as trauma or relationship conflicts. Counseling will help you work through these issues so you can better manage your life without substances. Anxiety and depression are common in today’s high-pressure society, and counseling will address these issues.
The program also has certified peer recovery coaches. The coaches are state certified, and one of the reasons they’re so helpful is because they’ve experienced issues with substance use and have been sober long term. You’ll have contact with a coach and can maintain that contact for as long as you need.
Former clients lauded the location and staff and that the organization helped them through their difficult times. Another client noted that even though it’s a Catholic organization, they welcome all faiths.
