About Gilmore Community Healing Centers
Gilmore Community Healing Centers historically operated as the inpatient detox and residential arm of Community Healing Centers (CHC), a nonprofit behavioral health and recovery organization serving Kalamazoo and southwest Michigan. The Gilmore campus, located at 1910 Shaffer Street in Kalamazoo, was CARF accredited and offered medically supervised detoxification followed by residential substance use treatment. According to a public notice on the parent organization’s website, the Gilmore facility is now permanently closed.
During its operating years, the Gilmore campus delivered care to a broad adult population, with stated focus areas including pregnant women and Deaf or hard-of-hearing clients. Treatment integrated medical management for withdrawal with longer-term residential rehabilitation, anchored by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and group programming. Payment options spanned Medicaid, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay, consistent with CHC’s broader mission as a safety-net behavioral health provider.
Readers looking for current substance use treatment in Kalamazoo should consult Community Healing Centers’ active service lines, which continue to include Kalamazoo Adult Outpatient Services, Carol’s Hope Women’s Specialty Program, and recovery housing options. The parent organization maintains its primary location at 2615 Stadium Drive, Kalamazoo, Michigan, and Carol’s Hope at 4030 M-139, Suite 108, in St. Joseph, Michigan.
Because the Gilmore campus is no longer operational, prospective clients should not contact the former Gilmore phone numbers.
