About University of Michigan Addiction Treatment Servs (UMATS)
University of Michigan Addiction Treatment Services (UMATS) operates out of the Rachel Upjohn Building at 4250 Plymouth Road in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and is part of the University of Michigan Health system. For individuals and families searching for medically supervised detox in the Ann Arbor area, this facility represents one of the few academic medical center-affiliated detox programs in the region — a meaningful distinction when the severity of withdrawal demands institutional clinical resources.
UMATS provides three distinct levels of care: medical detox, a standard outpatient program, and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). The medical detox level positions this facility as a withdrawal management option for those whose substance use requires clinical oversight during the early stages of treatment. For patients who do not require inpatient detox, the outpatient and IOP tracks allow continued care at varying levels of structure and frequency.
The clinical approach at UMATS incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a therapeutic method, and the facility addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis — meaning patients dealing with trauma or PTSD alongside substance use disorders can receive treatment for both within the same program. This integrated focus on mental health alongside addiction is a structural feature of the program, not an add-on.
UMATS serves a notably wide range of populations: adolescents, young adults (18–25), adults, seniors, pregnant women, men, women, and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. Payment options include Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, self-pay, and out-of-pocket arrangements. For families in Washtenaw County weighing detox program options, the combination of academic medical center affiliation, medical detox capability, and dual diagnosis treatment makes UMATS a facility worth contacting directly at (800) 525-5188.
