ABOUT OAKDALE RECOVERY CENTER
Located in Canton, Mich., halfway between Detroit and Ann Arbor, Oakdale Recovery Center is a private for-profit rehab facility. It is recognized as one of the 162 facilities in Michigan. The facility offers a comprehensive range of treatment services for adults struggling with substance abuse and co-occurring disorders, including detox, short-term residential, partial hospitalization programs (PHP), intensive outpatient program (IOP), and outpatient programs.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Many of Oakdale Recovery Center’s clients begin their treatment process in the detox program. Clients stay in detox for up to five days and complete a rapid detox process. During detox, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) may be provided to help clients minimize withdrawal symptoms. Once detox is complete, many clients move into the residential program.
A short-term residential program is designed to quickly establish sober living habits before moving to a less-structured form of treatment. Clients are monitored at all times and have access to the medical and psychiatric staff members.
The outpatient programs offer a semi-structured environment where clients begin to use their sober living skills outside of the treatment facility. Transportation services are offered to ensure that clients attend services, which is available in roughly 43% of nationwide facilities.
Treatment is based on the 12-step model of recovery, and all levels of care include individual, group, and family counseling. Clients work with case managers to develop individualized treatment plans and assessments. Medication management and psychiatric assessments are available when needed, and clients participate in aftercare planning near the end of the treatment process.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
The treatment team at Oakdale Recovery Center includes certified advanced alcohol and drug counselors (CAADCs), licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and master’s level social workers. The facility is one of the 28% of facilities across the country that are CARF accredited, and it is licensed by the State of Michigan.

WHAT ALUMNI SAY
At the time of this writing, alumni reviews for Oakdale Recovery Center were mixed. Of the 11 former clients surveyed by Best-rehabs.com, four reported positive feedback, four negative, and three mediocre.
The reviews are polarized about the quality of the accommodations. The three mixed reviews took issue with lack of amenities. “If you want recovery it (is) a decent facility,” alum K.G. noted. “Many people there were court ordered and did not want recovery. Intensive outpatient treatment and one on one were better than the inpatient program.”
The four negative reviews focused on dirty facilities, egregious food, and subpar treatment. “It was a horrible nightmare,” former client Kenyotta wrote. “It was filthy, food horrible, totally unprofessional all the way round. It was so bad I had a panic attack.” However, another alum wrote: “The facility was not a country club atmosphere which wasn’t a problem.”
Some alumni gave praise for the facility’s solid, helpful treatment, despite its no-frills environment. Part of this stems from its available counseling options, which most alumni thought was just average. In general, alumni believe that there were not enough holistic treatment options offered by the facility. However, the alumni polled on the matter did offer higher ratings for the staff’s level of training and experience.
