About Dawn Farm Spera Recovery Center – Ann Arbor
Dawn Farm Recovery Center offers addiction treatment services for individuals living in the Ann Arbor, Michigan, area. I was impressed initially by the variety of levels of care they offer in their entire community. They offer residential treatment, detox services, and outpatient care. This gives you every opportunity to recover from drugs or alcohol at your specific pace.
Here, however, we will be focusing mainly on their Spera Recovery Center, which is their detox home that offers guests a place to safely recover from drugs or alcohol while being closely monitored. This is a social detox center, which means they won’t be providing medication for your symptoms. This might turn off some people, because some people do require medication in order to safely detox and manage their withdrawal.
The average length of stay for your detox is around five days. You’ll be assessed and then attend daily mutual aid meetings while being monitored during your withdrawal process. They’ll make sure your transition through each process is smooth and stress-free. They’ll ask you about your goals and what your expectations are, making sure that they make a plan for you that you can realistically keep up with. I love this because each person is different and has different traumas that need to be taken into account. It’s great that this clinic is aware of their patients’ needs.
Once your detox is complete, you can transition into one of their other inpatient or outpatient facilities and have access to therapy sessions. They offer individual therapy, group therapy, and several recovery groups.
Individual therapy is a great way to dig deeper into your background and learn why some negative habits have taken root in your life. You’ll speak with a therapist in a private setting and learn how to deal with your traumas from the past, as well as learning coping skills and identifying triggers that may cause you to relapse. They also offer aftercare.
