About Recovery Center
The Recovery Center in Lansing operates as the residential substance use arm of Community Mental Health Authority of Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Counties (CMHA-CEI), a public behavioral health agency designated as a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) Demonstration Grantee. The CCBHC designation matters: it commits the agency to providing comprehensive care regardless of a client’s ability to pay, and it integrates physical and behavioral health services within a single recovery-oriented framework.
The program offers two SAMHSA-verified levels of care: medical detox for clients who need supervised withdrawal management, and residential treatment for stabilization and longer-term recovery work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the primary evidence-based modality, used in both individual and group formats to help clients identify triggers, restructure thinking patterns, and rebuild healthy coping skills. The CCBHC model also gives clients access to integrated supports — including crisis intervention, primary-care coordination, and trauma-informed care — that extend beyond what a standalone detox-and-rehab program typically provides.
A distinctive feature of the Recovery Center is its accessibility for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing clients, a population frequently underserved by mainstream substance use programs. The facility is CARF-accredited, meaning an independent body has verified its compliance with rehabilitation industry standards for quality and outcomes. Combined with its CCBHC status, this gives clients multiple layers of external validation.
Financially, the Recovery Center is structured to remove cost as a barrier. The program accepts Medicaid, self-pay/cash, sliding-scale fee adjustments, and financial-assistance arrangements. Because CMHA-CEI is a public agency, clients are not turned away for inability to pay, and the intake team can help applicants apply for Medicaid or navigate other coverage options before treatment begins.
