About MidMichigan Community Health Services

MidMichigan Community Health Services is a federally qualified health center located at 9249 West Lake City Road in Houghton Lake, Michigan, serving residents of Houghton Lake and Roscommon. Operating under the healthynorth.org umbrella, the facility brings together primary care, behavioral health, and addiction treatment services under one roof — a structure that sets it apart from standalone treatment facilities in the region.

The facility offers two distinct levels of addiction care: medical detox and an outpatient program. Medical detox provides supervised withdrawal management for individuals who need clinical support at the start of treatment. The outpatient program extends care beyond detox, allowing patients to continue structured treatment while living in the community. Both levels of care are available within the same health system, supporting continuity from detox into ongoing recovery programming.

Clinical treatment at MidMichigan Community Health Services incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis alongside addiction. The facility also treats trauma and PTSD, recognizing that mental health conditions frequently accompany substance use disorders. An on-site pharmacy supports patients who require medication as part of their treatment plan, and behavioral health services are integrated into the center’s broader care model.

MidMichigan Community Health Services serves a notably broad range of populations, including veterans, pregnant women, seniors, men, women, individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, and those with court-ordered treatment requirements. Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay, with a Medical Care Discount Program offering sliding scale fees to patients who may not be able to afford care or prescriptions. For residents of Roscommon County navigating the start of addiction treatment, this facility offers both clinical detox capacity and the financial accessibility of a federally qualified health center.

Medical Detox at MidMichigan Community Health Services

For individuals who need supervised withdrawal management, MidMichigan Community Health Services provides medical detox as a primary level of care at its Houghton Lake location. Being situated within a federally qualified health center means patients have access to a broader clinical infrastructure — including an on-site pharmacy and integrated behavioral health services — that a freestanding detox facility typically cannot offer.

Following detox, patients can transition into the facility's outpatient program without having to change providers or navigate a new system. That continuity matters for people who are medically stabilizing and need a clear next step in treatment. The medical detox and outpatient programs together form a defined treatment pathway for adults in Roscommon County and the surrounding region.

Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment

Addiction rarely exists in isolation, and MidMichigan Community Health Services is structured to address that reality. The facility treats co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis alongside substance use, and also provides care for trauma and PTSD — conditions that frequently intersect with addiction and can complicate withdrawal and recovery if left unaddressed.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is among the therapeutic methods used at the facility. CBT is widely used in addiction treatment to help patients identify and change thought patterns that contribute to substance use. Having this clinical capacity within a federally qualified health center gives patients in Houghton Lake access to integrated mental health and addiction treatment in a single setting.

Who MidMichigan Community Health Services Serves

The facility serves a wide range of adults, with specific programming considerations for veterans, pregnant women, seniors, men, women, individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, and those with court-ordered treatment requirements. This breadth of population coverage is uncommon in rural northern Michigan, where specialized treatment options are often limited.

Veterans can use TRICARE coverage at this facility, and the acceptance of Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay — alongside a Medical Care Discount Program with sliding scale fees — means that financial barriers to entering medical detox or outpatient treatment are reduced. The sliding scale is specifically designed for patients who may not be able to afford healthcare or prescriptions, per the facility's own program description.
