About Cherry Health – Monica Street – Detroit
Known as the world’s automobile capital, Detroit, Michigan also features Cherry Health – Monica Street. As part of Michigan’s largest Federally Qualified Health Center, this location offers a reentry facility for adults transitioning from correctional facilities.
You can participate in their residential program when returning directly from a correctional facility or as part of a diversion program to avoid incarceration. You can access personalized reentry services to transition smoothly to daily life in the community.
They also provide group and individual counseling to help you get to the root of addiction and other life challenges. You’ll benefit from a supportive environment to gain essential coping skills and get your life back on track.
What stands out most to me is their customized reentry services. They understand that many hurdles come with recovery, especially after being in prison. You can access services and resources that put your recovery goals at the forefront. Employment, housing, and education assistance are available. They also help you form essential connections to benefit your journey.
Additionally, I think it’s great that they provide services regardless of your financial situation. They accept many major insurers, Healthy Michigan plans, and Medicare. Even if you don’t have insurance, you can still access the care you need. Their dedicated team provides free health insurance assistance to find coverage. If you’re not eligible for insurance, they provide a sliding fee program based on your family size and income.
I also think it’s nice that you can participate in their program as an alternative to prison. Treatment is often more beneficial than imprisonment for many. They provide a second chance to improve your overall wellbeing and sustain recovery.
