JFS Detroit | Chemical dependency

	Substance Abuse Clinic-- If you or someone you care about is struggling with an addiction, there is help at the JFS Outpatient Treatment Center, a program of Jewish Family Service.

GETTING STARTED: The JFS outpatient treatment center provides a comprehensive substance abuse evaluation for people struggling with chemical dependency and substance abuse. The assessment is followed by specific treatment recommendations and referral to ancillary services. Treatment recommendations in our client-centered addiction recovery program are based on the client’s readiness for change and motivation for recovery, as well as the level and severity of their substance abuse problem. Recovery from addiction involves healing all aspects of our being; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. JFS can help in sorting through the complex issue of addiction and guide you to the healing lifestyle change that recovery brings.

JFS Addiction Recovery Program--

We've been there. We know what you're going through. We put troubled lives back together.

GETTING ACQUAINTED: The JFS Addiction Recovery Program philosophy is based on the belief that chemically dependent individuals and those with a history of substance abuse can achieve sustained abstinence from alcohol and other drugs and develop a recovering lifestyle. The program is licensed by the State of Michigan to provide substance abuse treatment and prevention services, and serves people of all races and ethnic backgrounds. Treatment is provided by appropriately credentialed Master's Level Clinicians who have many years of experience treating chemical dependency and living "one day at a time".

OUR CLIENTS: We are dedicated to healing adults and adolescents with a diagnosis of chemical dependency, or those who have begun to experience "warning signs" or problems related to substance abuse but are not yet dependent on alcohol or drugs. While substance abuse is not specific to any given culture or ethnicity, JFS is in a unique position to provide culturally relevant and sensitive treatment to a number of diverse populations. Research suggests that the incorporation of ethnic and cultural components into a substance abuse program can promote healing.

SIGNIFICANT OTHERS: Professional therapists at JFS also offer help for spouses, partners, parents and children affected by a loved one with an addiction to alcohol and/or drugs. Their lives are also impacted by the addiction.

DUAL DIAGNOSIS: Many individuals have a substance related problem as well as a mental/emotional illness. These individuals are at increased risk and therefore require a more intensive treatment protocol. They are referred for psychiatric consultation/medication when necessary, and receive education regarding the characteristics of their dual disorder. Clients receive supportive services to manage additional stressors they may face due to their dual diagnosis.

For people in need of help, JFS provides a safe, confidential, environment for therapy. In addition to traditional counseling, Jewish Family Service also hosts JACS (Jewish Alcoholics, Chemically Dependent Persons & Significant Others) support groups.
