ABOUT DOT CARING CENTERS, INC.
Operating in three Michigan locations, DOT (Dynamic Outpatient Treatment) Caring Centers offer multiple forms of treatment to adults struggling with substance abuse and mental health disorders. The Freeland site provides detox and short-term inpatient services, and medication-assisted therapy is available in Saginaw and Owosso. DOT centers also offer life skills coaching in support of the recovery process.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
No details are provided by this organization regarding its detox or inpatient services.
Among several specialized treatment tracks available at these facilities are drug-specific ones (focused on such substances as alcohol, crystal meth, and prescription opiates); domestic violence offender programming; and Suboxone maintenance combined with counseling. Medication-assisted treatment includes regular monitoring by a doctor and individualized planning.
Most treatment is based in group counseling, building on strengths and incorporating 12-step concepts. Clients who have received a dual diagnosis can receive integrated treatment for addiction and co-occurring conditions such as anxiety and depression, addressing grief, loss, and anger management.
Additional programming includes intervention services, family counseling, life skills training, and evaluations and education for first offenders within the court system.
While most treatment plans involve mainly group therapy sessions, clients who are on waiting lists for more structured programming are encouraged to consider one-on-one coaching while in transition.
