Oakland Family Services – Main Administration

Oakland Family Services is a nonprofit outpatient addiction treatment center in Pontiac, Michigan.

They deliver substance use services and co occurring disorder care through its Day One program.

This COA accredited agency, serving Oakland County since 1921, provides outpatient and intensive outpatient treatment, individual and group therapy, psychiatric services, peer recovery coaching, and medication support for opioid use.

What separates the Pontiac location apart is PRISM, a gender-specific track for pregnant and parenting women that exists nowhere else in the agency's network.

Pregnant and Parenting Women

Project Recovery Intensive Service for Mothers (PRISM) is a gender-specific substance use program for pregnant and parenting women, and it is available exclusively at the Orchard Lake Road location in Pontiac.

Oakland Family Services offers onsite childcare and transportation for Oakland County residents attending in-person services, which directly addresses the two most common reasons parenting women drop out of treatment.

Reviewers Commentary about Day One

Feedback on Day One points to flexibility that most never offer, where one reviewer noted that "if you feel discouraged or distant from a therapist, they will help you find another," suggesting clients are not locked into a poor therapeutic fit.

The same reviewer confirmed the program provides drug testing for court, useful detail for anyone with legal obligations tied to their recovery.

Oakland Family Services serves Oakland County and accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, self payment and state and SAMHSA block grant funding.
