About Community Programs Inc

Meridian Health Services (listed here as Community Programs Inc) is a substance use disorder treatment provider in Waterford, Michigan, serving people from Oakland County, Metro Detroit, and other parts of the state. They treat addiction alongside co-occurring mental health conditions, blending evidence-based therapy with 12-step principles on a bio-psycho-social-spiritual foundation. Their continuum includes medically monitored detox, residential treatment, general and intensive outpatient care, and medication-assisted treatment, with services spread across three nearby Waterford sites.

Detox takes place in gender-specific withdrawal management units staffed around the clock by licensed medical professionals and overseen by a medical director board certified in addiction medicine. Care there covers symptom monitoring, medication management when appropriate, mental health screening, peer recovery support, and discharge planning to ease the move into further treatment. Men and women attend separate residential programs that offer full days of psychotherapy, education, 12-step work, and integrative health services, and a family program is available as well. Outpatient clients receive individual and group therapy grounded in cognitive approaches, while the outpatient site also provides SUD assessments and medications for opioid use disorder, with appointments available from early morning into the evening.
