About

About University of Michigan

The University of Michigan Addiction Treatment Services (UMATS) operates within Michigan Medicine at the Rachel Upjohn Building on Plymouth Road in Ann Arbor. As part of one of the nation’s leading academic health systems, the program connects patients with university-affiliated clinicians, research-informed protocols, and a continuum of related medical, psychiatric, and family services available across the broader U-M Health network.

The program is structured around outpatient and intensive outpatient (IOP) levels of care for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the documented evidence-based modality offered, and the program participates in telehealth delivery so patients can attend sessions remotely when clinically appropriate. Care plans are individualized, with assessment and treatment planning conducted by licensed clinicians within an integrated academic medical setting.

UMATS works with a notably broad set of populations, including adolescents, young adults aged 18 to 25, pregnant women, men, women, and seniors. The program is also equipped to serve patients who are Deaf or hard of hearing, with American Sign Language accommodations available. Trauma-informed care principles support patients managing PTSD alongside substance use, and dual-diagnosis treatment is a core part of the program’s clinical scope.

The program is accredited by The Joint Commission and accepts Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay arrangements. Patients benefit from access to the larger Michigan Medicine ecosystem, including specialty consults, primary care, and behavioral health services. Patients should contact admissions directly to verify current insurance acceptance, intake hours, and program availability before scheduling.
