Expert Insights

Across the Great Lakes State, more than 3,000 people died of drug overdose in 2021. And yet, Michigan residents who are struggling with substance abuse are also struggling to get help. In rural areas, the average wait-time for treatment is more than 10 days. When life is on the line, that’s far too long to wait for help. Clearly, Michigan needs more resources in these areas if we want to see substance abuse and overdose rates decline and recovery rates increase.

How to Pay for Drug Rehab in Michigan

As of 2024, there were over 490 drug rehab facilities across the state of Michigan. These facilities accept several payment methods. Of those treatment facilities, the following numbers reflect how many accept their respective payment methods:

Private Pay + Insurance

You have options to pay for treatment in Michigan. Many of the programs will accept health insurance and some will allow you to self pay. Each insurance is different in regard to what specific type of rehab that it will cover. It is important to talk with your insurance provider to understand in and out of network benefits and coverage.

Here are some of the following major private insurance carriers in Michigan:

  • AmBetter
  • HAP
  • Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan
  • Molina Healthcare Inc

Medicaid and Medicare

Medicaid is accepted at many drug rehab centers in Michigan, but it is important to keep in mind that in some cases you may have to pay a small copay when using this type of insurance. Medicare covers substance use treatment under Original Medicare Parts A (hospital insurance) and B (medical insurance) or under a Medicare Advantage Plan, which provides the same benefits as Original Medicare. Treatment must be deemed medically necessary according to accepted standards of medicine to diagnose or treat your condition.

Military Insurance

If you are a Veteran, or have military insurance such as Tricare, substance use treatment can be covered. Tricare covers a variety of services such as inpatient care, medication assisted treatment, outpatient services, partial hospitalization programs, and residential care. Each Veterans Administration in the state of Michigan has their own resources to ensure you get the help you need. Contact them for further assistance regarding their specific modalities and programs to start the process of getting admitted for treatment.

Tribal Funding Programs

The purpose of SAMHSA’s Tribal Opioid Response Grant (TOR) is to address the opioid crisis in tribal communities. This has helped with the lack of access to treatment and has increased the access to culturally appropriate and evidence-based treatment. This can include prevention methods as well such as the Red Cliff Wellness School Curriculum and PAX Good Behavior Game. This funding also implements cultural practices such as storytelling, equine therapy, and wilderness adventures.

Other low-cost options

Each rehab is different and other low-cost options can vary between each one. Some programs may offer financial aid such as scholarships to help pay for treatment. Others may offer a sliding payment scale based on income. It is important to talk with your provider to see what options they offer when it comes to paying for or accessing treatment.

Free Rehabs in Michigan

In Michigan, there are rehab facilities that use state or federally awarded grant money to help uninsured or individuals with a low socio-economic status pay for substance use treatment. You might be the recipient of the grant, or the program you enter will be. The funding often comes from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

For free rehabs in Michigan, there is a chance that you might be on a waitlist before being able to receive treatment. You can use the SAMHSA’s Directory of Single State Agencies for Substance Use Services website, or other rehab directories to find local resources that will connect you to finding affordable rehab options in the state of Michigan

How Many People Have Substance Use Problems in Michigan?

In 2021, individuals in Michigan entered treatment for the following substance use disorders:2

Drug Laws in Michigan

  • Marijuana Laws in Michigan: Michigan marijuana laws treat possession of any amount as a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in prison and/or a fine of up to $2,000. Medical marijuana is allowed for approved patients. Patients with a valid doctor’s recommendation may possess up to 2.5 oz. of usable marijuana and may cultivate up 12 marijuana plants for personal use.
  • Michigan- OWI Laws (Operating while Intoxicated)/DUI: The court criminal penalties for OWI or DUIs can include fines, jail time, or community services. There are additional administrative penalties as well that can include suspension or revocation of your license. The higher your blood alcohol content is, the more severe your penalties may be. Additionally, multiple convictions will also result in harsher sentences.
  • Drug Testing Laws: Michigan is one of the small number of states that has no law addressing drug testing. This means that drug testing is not prohibited or restricted, unless it violates other legal provisions. Because Michigan law doesn’t put any limits on workplace drug testing, if you believe your drug test was illegal you will have to rely on other legal theories. It is best to contact an attorney for legal advice.
  • Drug Possession Laws in New Jersey: The amount of time in incarcerated or the fine depends on the classification of the drug you are found to be in possession of. For example, for Schedule I or II drugs, you will be charged with a felony and can receive the following sentences:
