  • Athletes

    Professional and collegiate athletes must meet strict eligibility requirements regarding substance use that are set by their teams or schools, as well as professional leagues or the NCAA.

    We work with professional and college teams throughout our region on specialized treatment programs in addition to early detection of addiction and educational programs.

  • Healthcare professionals

    Because of the potential danger to patients, licensed health care professionals are held accountable for their participation in and successful completion of addiction treatment. Workers who don’t successfully complete treatment may not be allowed to return to their careers.

    The Health Professionals Recovery Program, or HPRP, was established in Michigan in 1994, and it’s supported by various state licensing boards for healthcare professionals. We offer an extensive and rigorous addiction program in compliance with HPRP requirements.
