Substance Use Disorder: Individualized Treatment Plan

Individualized treatment planning is based on the idea that "one size does not fit all" when it comes to treatment. Your treatment plan must be tailored to your needs. You will participate in the process of making your treatment plan. Unlike person-centered planning, which may involve your family and friends, you and your counselor together will plan your treatment for your substance use disorder. Your situation, your needs, goals and desires will be taken into account when deciding your level of care, length of treatment, aftercare and planning for your discharge.

Recipient Rights

Every person who receives public services for mental health and substance use disorders has certain rights.

The Michigan Mental Health Code protects certain rights, including:

• The right to be free from abuse and neglect.

• The right to confidentiality.

• The right to be treated with dignity and respect.

• The right to receive treatment suited to your condition.

If you receive services for substance use disorders, you have rights that are protected by the Michigan Public Health Code. We will explain these rights to you when you start services and then once again every year. You can find more information about your rights while getting services for substance use disorders in the pamphlet called "Know Your Rights."
