Family and Childrens Services

Family and Children's Services operates as a CARF-accredited outpatient clinic in Midland, MI, offering structured substance abuse treatment and recovery programming to individuals and families across the Great Lakes Bay Region. The outpatient program model is designed for people who are ready to engage seriously with recovery while continuing to live at home — whether they are stepping down from a residential treatment setting, fulfilling a court-ordered treatment requirement, or beginning a recovery plan for the first time.

The clinic's hours — Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. — are intentionally extended to serve people whose work schedules, family obligations, or transportation situations make daytime-only programs inaccessible. That practical detail matters for anyone building a recovery routine around real-life responsibilities.

A defining feature of Family and Children's Services is its explicit focus on co-occurring disorders, dual diagnosis, and trauma and PTSD — conditions that often underlie or complicate substance use disorders. Treating these conditions within the same outpatient program, rather than referring clients elsewhere, allows for more integrated and consistent care throughout the recovery process.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) forms the clinical backbone of treatment here. CBT is particularly effective for individuals working through both addiction and underlying mental health challenges, as it builds practical skills for identifying and changing the thought patterns that drive harmful behaviors. One-on-one counseling sessions provide individualized attention within this framework, while peer support groups connect clients to the broader recovery community — a critical element of long-term sobriety that research consistently supports.

Family and Children's Services takes a wide-population approach to outpatient addiction treatment. The clinic serves adolescents, young adults between 18 and 25, men, women, seniors and older adults, and individuals referred through the court system. School-based programs and employee assistance services extend that reach further into the Midland community, connecting people with recovery resources in settings where they already spend their time.

This breadth matters for families navigating addiction together — when a center serves multiple age groups under one roof, coordinating care for more than one family member, or simply finding a program that fits a specific life stage, becomes more straightforward. Crisis intervention services are also available, providing an additional safety net for clients and families during difficult moments in the recovery process.

Cost is one of the most common reasons people delay or avoid addiction treatment, and Family and Children's Services has structured its payment options to address that barrier directly. The clinic accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, and state insurance, along with self-pay and cash arrangements. For those without adequate coverage, sliding scale fees and financial assistance programs are available.

That combination of public insurance acceptance and need-based financial assistance makes this outpatient program one of the more financially accessible recovery centers in the Midland, MI area. Anyone concerned about coverage or cost is encouraged to contact the clinic directly at (989) 631-5390 to discuss options before beginning the intake process.
