Alcohol & Drug Rehabs in Southfield, Michigan

Every rehab center in the Southfield directory is a licensed or accredited provider, and listings are organized to help you compare real options rather than to promote one facility over another. We prioritize programs that hold state licensure through Michigan’s Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs and independent accreditation from the Joint Commission or CARF, and we label any sponsored placement clearly so you always know what you are looking at.

Listing details reflect the levels of care, specialty tracks, and payment types each facility reports, drawn from public licensing records and facility information. Because openings and insurance participation change, confirm current availability and program specifics directly with a center when you reach out. The aim is to give you an accurate starting point for finding care close to home.

Southfield sits in southern Oakland County and serves as one of metro Detroit’s largest business districts, with 9 rehab centers in and around the city offering medical detox, residential, and outpatient care. You can compare every nearby option through the Michigan rehab directory, and explore the wider range of addiction treatment settings available across the county.

Oakland County has become one of Michigan’s clearest examples of an overdose response that is working. The county Medical Examiner reported a 37% drop in overdose deaths in 2024 compared with 2023, which local officials credit to widely available naloxone, a network of free Narcan vending machines and Save a Life stations, and coordinated work through the Alliance of Coalitions for Healthy Communities. Behavioral health care for residents with Medicaid or no insurance is coordinated by Oakland Community Health Network, the Prepaid Inpatient Health Plan for the county.

The progress is real but unevenly shared. Oakland County data show that Black residents, who make up about 13% of the population, continued to account for a disproportionate share of overdose deaths in 2024, a gap that carries particular weight in a city where most residents are Black. Fentanyl remains the leading driver of overdose risk countywide.

Statewide crisis line: Call or text 988 to reach the Michigan Crisis and Access Line any time, day or night.

Free naloxone: Pick up free Narcan from an Oakland County Save a Life station or order it by mail through Michigan’s Naloxone Direct Portal.

Insurance accepted: Most Southfield centers accept private insurance, the Healthy Michigan Plan, and Medicare.

The cost of rehab in Southfield depends on the level of care, program length, and whether you use insurance. Michigan ranks 13th nationally for treatment affordability, with a statewide average of about $56,508 without insurance, though most people pay a fraction of that once insurance benefits are applied. The figures below reflect Michigan averages by care type and are a useful benchmark while you compare local programs.

Actual costs vary with setting, amenities, and length of stay. Outpatient programs cost far less than residential care and are the most common format in the Southfield area, while medical detox and inpatient stays carry the highest price tags. Insurance, the Healthy Michigan Plan, and sliding-scale options can lower what you pay out of pocket.

Treatment setting: inpatient and residential care cost more than outpatient.

Program length: 30, 60, and 90-day programs scale in price.

Level of care: medical detox and 24-hour supervision raise costs.

Insurance status: in-network coverage and Medicaid reduce out-of-pocket cost.

Amenities: private rooms and specialized tracks add to the total.

Across the 9 rehab centers serving Southfield, most accept a mix of private insurance, Medicaid, and self-payment, and several offer financial assistance or sliding-scale fees for people without full coverage. The counts below show how many local facilities report accepting each payment type.

8 accept TRICARE

4 offer sliding-scale fees

3 offer financial assistance

Which option makes the most sense depends on your coverage and income. The subsections below outline how the main payment paths work for Southfield residents.

Medicaid

Michigan expanded Medicaid through the Healthy Michigan Plan, which covers the full continuum of substance use care, from detox to outpatient counseling and medication-assisted treatment. Specialty behavioral health benefits are managed regionally by Oakland Community Health Network, so calling OCHN at 248-464-6363 or visiting its Sober Support Unit is the fastest way to start Medicaid-covered treatment. Seven local facilities report accepting Medicaid.

Medicare

Medicare covers substance use treatment that is medically necessary, including inpatient care under Part A and outpatient services and counseling under Part B, with Medicare Advantage plans offering the same benefits. Seven Southfield area centers accept Medicare.

Military and TRICARE

Veterans and active-duty families have several routes to care. Eight area facilities accept TRICARE, and the VA coordinates services for metro Detroit veterans through the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center and its Oakland County community clinics. See more rehab resources for veterans and military families.

Insurance and Private Pay

Every Southfield center in the directory accepts private insurance or self-payment. Coverage varies by plan and by whether a facility is in network, so verify benefits before you commit. Major carriers active in Michigan include:

• Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan
• Priority Health
• HAP
• Aetna
• Cigna
• UnitedHealthcare

Other Low-Cost Options

For those without full coverage, four local centers use sliding-scale fees and three offer financial assistance. Some programs use state or federal grant funding to serve uninsured residents, and treatment scholarships can help close the gap. Ask each program directly what assistance it offers.

Accreditation

Accreditation signals that a program meets independent quality standards. Among Southfield area facilities, three hold CARF accreditation and one is accredited by the Joint Commission. Accreditation is separate from state licensure, which every legitimate Michigan provider must maintain.

Southfield offers care across the continuum, with 3 detox programs, 2 inpatient programs, and 8 outpatient clinics reported locally. Nearly every facility also treats co-occurring mental health conditions.

3 medical detox facilities

2 inpatient rehab programs

8 standard outpatient clinics

8 dual diagnosis programs

Medical detox provides 24-hour supervision to manage withdrawal safely and is the usual first step for opioid or alcohol dependence. Three area programs offer medically supervised detox.

Inpatient and residential rehab provides structured, live-in treatment. Two local inpatient rehab programs serve people who need to step away from daily triggers to focus on early recovery.

Outpatient treatment lets people live at home while attending scheduled sessions, and it is the most common format in the area, with 8 clinics reported. It suits people with work or family obligations and those stepping down from residential care.

Dual diagnosis care treats addiction alongside conditions like depression or anxiety. Eight reporting facilities address co-occurring disorders, which matters given how often mental health and substance use overlap.

Many Southfield facilities tailor treatment to specific groups and substances. The counts below reflect programs that report each specialty focus.

8 alcohol rehab programs

7 opioid rehab programs

7 men’s programs

7 women’s programs

7 young adult programs

3 programs for older adults

2 veterans and military programs

Alcohol remains the most common reason people enter publicly funded treatment in Michigan, and eight area programs focus on alcohol use disorder. Seven programs treat opioid use disorder, reflecting how heavily fentanyl weighs on Oakland County. Programs for young adults fit a city that hosts Lawrence Technological University, and several address young adult and college substance use. Two facilities offer dedicated tracks for veterans and military families, alongside programs for men, women, and older adults.
