This particular location is Spera, their detoxification facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In the same city, they also have a dedicated outpatient clinic.

Detox at the Spera Recovery Center in Ann Arbor

The Spera Recovery Center is a recovery-friendly environment where adults can detox safely. They offer social detox which means they don’t prescribe medication for withdrawal but instead focus on creating a compassionate and supportive environment to help you avoid relapse while you detox.

Their team will conduct an initial assessment for you. If you are at medical risk, Spera will coordinate with other providers or the local healthcare facilities on your behalf.

The best feature about this center is that they focus on helping each patient develop a sustainable plan for ongoing recovery. Patients will attend daily peer support meetings and get to know folks in the Dawn Farm recovery community.

Their dorms are gendered and I appreciate that trans and non-binary patients can choose the dorm that feels best for them.

The average length of stay in this detox center is five days.

Free Detox and Residential Treatment in Michigan

Dawn Farm offers detox services at no cost for their clients. If you see other providers like doctors or visit an emergency room, those fees are your responsibility.

They also have a select number of donation-funded beds in their residential program. These beds are first-come, first-served and often have a waitlist of 1 to 3 months. Intake staff will discuss your eligibility and place you on the waitlist during intake. Beds are filled as soon as they are available.
