Catholic Charities of SE Michigan

Catholic Charities of SE Michigan delivers structured outpatient programs that allow clients to maintain their daily routines while receiving consistent addiction treatment. The facility operates Monday through Friday with regular business hours, accommodating working professionals and parents who need flexible scheduling for their recovery commitments.

Outpatient treatment works effectively for individuals who have completed residential treatment and need ongoing support, or those whose circumstances allow them to live at home while participating in regular therapy sessions. This level of care provides the structure necessary for sustained recovery while preserving important family and community connections that support long-term sobriety.

The recovery center's clinical services emphasize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as the primary therapeutic method for addressing substance abuse. CBT helps clients identify and modify thought patterns that contribute to addictive behaviors, providing practical skills for managing cravings, stress, and relapse triggers in real-world situations.

Clinical Manager Tonya Moyer, LPC, CCTP, brings specialized expertise in both addiction counseling and trauma treatment to the program. This dual focus recognizes that many individuals seeking addiction treatment also benefit from addressing underlying trauma that may contribute to substance use patterns.

Catholic Charities accepts a comprehensive range of payment methods to ensure addiction treatment remains accessible to diverse community members. The facility works with Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, and most private insurance plans, helping clients navigate coverage for outpatient services.

For individuals without insurance coverage or those facing financial hardship, the recovery center offers self-pay options and sliding scale fees based on income. This commitment to affordability reflects the organization's mission to serve all community members seeking substance abuse treatment, regardless of their economic circumstances.

Based in Waterford, Catholic Charities serves clients throughout Oakland, St. Clair, Macomb, Monroe, and Lapeer counties, creating a broad network of recovery support across southeastern Michigan. This extensive service area allows the facility to serve suburban and rural communities that may have limited local addiction treatment options.

The multi-county reach enables clients to access CARF-accredited treatment close to home, maintaining important family and community relationships during recovery. Local accessibility reduces transportation barriers and helps clients stay connected to their existing support systems while building new recovery community connections.
