ABOUT HOLDEN HOUSE

The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, through its Mid-Michigan Recovery Services regional affiliate (MMRS), operates two gender-specific, long-term residential rehab facilities for individuals struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. Holden House serves men, while Glass House is for women. MMRS also offers outpatient treatment, assessments, a program for individuals living with homelessness, and transitional housing for men who have received a dual diagnosis of substance use and mental health disorders.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

The intake process requires physical and psychosocial assessments, which may be arranged through a client’s primary care provider or the agency. The facility represents confidentiality and structure as key values at Holden House.

MMRS rehab is based on a Recovery Oriented System of Care, which emphasizes both each individual client’s strengths and the importance of a support network, incorporating families and community groups and services. Throughout the recovery process, Holden House residents receive education about addiction, training in life skills and relapse prevention, and introductions to 12-step concepts and local meetings. They participate in group and individual counseling sessions and stress and anger management classes.

The inclusion of physical activities, nutritional counseling, parenting classes, employment assistance, and cultural and recreational outings in the list of program elements suggests a commitment to holistic recovery.

Clients are discharged with a continuing care plan that includes safe, affordable housing, a 12-Step sponsor and continued counseling in an outpatient setting. Support is also available for addressing legal, sober housing, relationship, and health concerns.

STAFF CREDENTIALS

While limited information is provided on the facility’s website at this time regarding licensing or education requirements, MMRS highlights the quality of “cultural understanding” staff members have as well as the fact that many are in recovery themselves and some are former clients. Job descriptions specify minimum years of sobriety for those in recovery.
