About Skywood Recovery
Skywood Recovery sits on a quiet lakefront property in Augusta, Michigan, about a half-hour from Kalamazoo, where it operates as a full-continuum addiction and mental health treatment center. The program runs detox, residential, partial hospitalization, and outpatient services, allowing clients to step through each level of care without switching providers. Skywood is part of the Foundations Recovery Network, a national group of eleven residential and outpatient facilities focused on co-occurring addiction and mental health disorders.
Clinically, Skywood is built around dual-diagnosis care. Rather than treating substance use first and mental health later, the program addresses both simultaneously, integrating cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed treatment, and medication-assisted options into individualized plans. Clients dealing with depression, anxiety, bipolar conditions, or trauma alongside an alcohol or drug use disorder receive coordinated care from medical staff, therapists, and residential teams. Equine therapy is offered on-site as part of the experiential component.
The campus is designed to support the work clinically. Cart paths wind through wooded grounds and around an on-site lake, where the clinical team leads fishing groups and bonfires as part of structured programming. A dedicated culinary program prepares meals that emphasize nutrition as a foundation of recovery, and the residential team is trained to keep the patient at the center of every interaction, from housekeeping staff to the medical director.
Skywood works with most private insurance providers, is in-network with TRICARE for veterans and military families, and accepts self-pay arrangements. The center is accredited by The Joint Commission and partners with Hall of Fame Health and MSU Athletics on mental health initiatives. For Michigan and Midwest clients who need a residential program that treats addiction and mental health as inseparable, Skywood offers a clinically integrated, lakeside option with the resources of a national network behind it.
