About

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.

Medical Detox at a University of Michigan Health Facility

For people facing acute withdrawal, the institutional setting of UMATS offers something most standalone detox centers cannot: direct affiliation with the University of Michigan Health system. Medical detox at UMATS means clinically supervised withdrawal management within an academic medical infrastructure, located at the Rachel Upjohn Building on Plymouth Road in Ann Arbor.

Families making same-day decisions about detox placement should know that UMATS accepts Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay. To confirm current availability and discuss the intake process, contact UMATS directly at (800) 525-5188.

Outpatient and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) in Ann Arbor

Following medical detox — or for individuals whose withdrawal does not require inpatient-level management — UMATS offers both a standard outpatient program and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). These levels of care allow patients to continue structured addiction treatment while living in the community, with IOP providing a higher frequency of clinical contact than standard outpatient.

The outpatient programs incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and address co-occurring disorders including trauma and PTSD. This means patients with dual diagnosis presentations are not required to seek separate mental health treatment elsewhere — both conditions are addressed within the UMATS program structure.

Who UMATS Serves: Populations and Payment

UMATS is structured to serve a wide clinical population. The facility explicitly serves adolescents, young adults (18–25), older adults and seniors, pregnant women, men, women, and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. This breadth of served populations is relatively uncommon in a single outpatient and detox program and reflects the resources of an academic medical center setting.

On the financial side, UMATS accepts Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, self-pay, and out-of-pocket payment. For Washtenaw County residents navigating detox options under Michigan Medicaid or Medicare, UMATS is a confirmed in-network starting point worth verifying with your specific plan.

Dual Diagnosis and Trauma Treatment Alongside Detox

A structural feature of UMATS is its treatment of co-occurring disorders — specifically trauma and PTSD — within the same program that provides substance use and detox services. For many people entering medical detox, untreated mental health conditions are a significant driver of substance use, and separating those treatments into different facilities creates gaps in care.

By addressing dual diagnosis as a confirmed part of its clinical scope, UMATS allows patients who complete medical detox to step down into outpatient or IOP programming that continues to account for the full clinical picture, not just the substance use component.
