Northpointe Behavioral Healthcare System

The Kingsford Office of Northpointe Behavioral Health is one of three locations in Michigan. This clinic offers mental health and substance use treatment for adults, children and families. They also treat those with co-occurring disorders.

Here, nobody is denied treatment if they can’t pay. A discounted fee schedule is available based on family size and income.

The first step to begin treatment is having an initial assessment. Then, staff will work to create a treatment plan that looks at you as a whole. This plan will take note of your strengths, goals, needs and desires. Treatment may involve individual and group therapy, perhaps with family involvement.

I like that Northpointe offers peer support specialists. These certified and trained specialists are folks who have been where you are. They have experienced mental health or substance abuse disorders and are in recovery. They become your partner in your recovery and help you set goals and overcome barriers. There’s so much they can help you with such as finding housing, applying for benefits and finding work.

Many happy previous clients sing the praises of the caring staff and how effective the program is. Others do not agree and feel that staff were incompetent.
