ABOUT COMMUNITY SOCIAL SERVICES OF WAYNE COUNTY
Established in 1946 as Catholic Social Services of Wayne County, Community Social Services of Wayne County (CSSWC) offers a range of services for people of all ages, from infants to the elderly, with the aim of “rebuilding broken lives and restoring dignity.” Alongside child welfare, senior services, and education and literacy programs, the organization offers outpatient care for adults struggling with substance abuse, and prevention and early intervention services for children, youth, and adolescents at risk of substance abuse.
The organization has facilities in both Dearborn and Detroit.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
For adults struggling with substance abuse, CSSWC provides counseling in group and family settings, as well as support and skills training in individual and group settings. In order to help clients access community resources, the organization also provides case management services.
CSSWC’s website provides no further information about the organization’s treatment services for substance abuse, however, an alum polled by Best-rehabs.com painted a picture of a relatively well-rounded program, with very good holistic options and family programming, but less impressive counseling options.
The organization provides a range of other community and behavioral health services, primary among them prison re-entry programs and a family life education program, which seeks to educate participants on the ways families work.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
There is currently no information provided by the facility regarding its treatment staff, however, the single alum polled by Best-rehabs.com to date gave the facility three out of five stars for its staff’s level of training and experience.
WHAT ALUMNI SAY
The only alum polled by Best-rehabs.com to date gave mixed feedback. They gave the facility five stars for its holistic offerings and four stars for its family participation and treatment for co-occurring disorders, and wrote: “It was free…workers are great.” They also gave the facility just three stars for its treatment effectiveness, and indicated that they would not recommend this treatment, adding: “To many people that were forced to go.”
At the time of this writing, secondary review sites yielded positive feedback: CSSWC had a 4.3-star average rating based on seven reviews on Google, and on Facebook (where the facility can manage its own page), a 4.5-star average rating based on six reviews. “This place helps you when you need help, the staff is kind. And will go out of their way to get you the help you need,” one reviewer wrote in a representative review on Google.
FINANCING
CSSWC’s services are subsidized by county, state, and federal funding, as well as private donations. The center does not provide further details about any costs or insurances accepted, but the single alum polled by Best-rehabs.com to date gave the facility four out of five stars for its affordability and wrote that treatment had been free.
