About NMSAS Recovery Center – Gaylord
The NMSAS Recovery Center is in Gaylord, Michigan. You’ll find ’em tucked away in a quiet corner away from the busy downtown. This nonprofit organization started up around the mid 2010s and welcomes adults battling substance misuse and co-occurring mental health conditions. You can access comprehensive outpatient services while living at home.
Their center is pretty nice and comfortable. Their floorplan allows for wide open spaces that allow camaraderie, and the furniture is plush and resembles a home. The decor and the natural colors can help you unwind.
Their program offers lots of support to guide you through recovery. You can participate in group, individual, and family counseling. There’s also medication assisted treatment (MAT) and peer programs. Their case management team will coordinate your care and help you develop coping skills to recognize and change your behaviors.
For me, their case management services really stood out. They understand that inadequate healthcare, housing, employment, and transportation can all stand between reaching sustained recovery. You’ll benefit from customized approaches to recognize and obtain the services and resources to enhance your journey. Your case manager and care coordinator will work with local providers to ensure you get the help you need.
They also have a neat MAT program to manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings. They prescribe buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone. You’ll benefit from integrated care with counseling and recovery support. However, you should know that their supply of buprenorphine may be limited and to plan accordingly.
There’s also free Narcan. You can help yourself to their dispensary in the parking lot, which allows you to keep your privacy. There are self-training videos available so you’ll know how to use it should a relapse or an overdose happen. You might end up saving the life of a loved one.
It’s pretty cool that they have flexible payment options. They accept many major insurance providers, Healthy Michigan Plan, Medicaid, and Medicare. You can still get the help from ’em even if you don’t have insurance.
