About Community Mental Health Services – Mount Pleasant
Community Mental Health Services promotes whole person wellness through inclusive and high quality integrated mental health care. They have six facilities across six counties in Michigan. This outpatient facility in Mt. Pleasant serves Isabella County residents.
Mt. Pleasant is a city in central Michigan about an hour and a half from the major cities of Lansing and Grand Rapids. The city offers both intercity and local public transportation options. This means people from Alma, Clare and Shepherds can access care here.
The facility provides an array of services for people dealing with co-occurring conditions. This means that you must have serious mental illness and substance use disorder to qualify for care. They use skilled clinicians with expertise in both disorders to provide integrated care. These experts are able to deliver “whole person” healing.
They’ll first thoroughly assess you to identify need for treatment. If you don’t have co-occurring condition or substance use disorder is not your primary issue. In that case, they’ll refer you to community providers offering substance use treatment including detox and residential care. Otherwise, they’ll create an individualized care plan to help you recover from your co-occurring condition.
Services include subacute detox to help you withdraw from alcohol and other drugs. They also offer methadone maintenance treatment for people struggling with heroin and other opioid dependence. This treatment involves medically supervised opioid substitution alongside nursing care and lab tests.
The methadone treatment may be part of their broader intensive outpatient program (IOP). It can also be a standalone therapy. The IOP involves more rigorous or frequent counseling sessions weekly. It aims to equip you with recovery tools that encourage a sober lifestyle and prevent relapse. Both day and evening sessions may be available for convenience.
The facility offers intensive intervention services to further support people dealing with co-occurring issues. This intervention is delivered by their Integrated Dually Diagnosed Treatment teams (IDDT). This specialized team offers personalized interventions tailored to your current stage of recovery from mental illness and substance use.
