<p><strong>ABOUT SUNRISE CENTRE</strong></p> <p>Sunrise Centre is <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/dasis2/nssats/n2016_st_profiles.pdf" target="_blank">one of the 53 percent of rehabs in Michigan that operates on a nonprofit basis</a>. Founded in 1991 and located blocks from Thunder Bay in northeastern Michigan, the center is designed for those who cannot afford other private rehab facilities, and offers <strong>sub-acute detox from alcohol and opiates, long- and short-term residential rehab, and outpatient services,</strong> all for individuals struggling with addiction and <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">co-occurring disorders</a>. It's <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/dasis2/nssats/n2016_st_profiles.pdf" target="_blank">one of just 40 non-hospital detox programs in the state of Michigan</a>.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>The short-term residential program lasts <strong>28 days,</strong> and the long-term residential program — which is advised for those with a history of relapse — lasts <strong>45 to 90 days.</strong> Outpatient treatment is available as either step-down or entry-level care. </p> <p>On all treatment tracks, the center uses individual and group therapy and life-skills lessons. Treatment is described as <strong>evidence-based</strong> and multimodal, meaning that <strong>12-step meetings are offered along with other self-help programs.</strong> Treatment is mainly co-ed, with daily gender-specific groups. Also on the daily schedule are <strong>meditations, Bible study,</strong> and optional church services.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thealpenanews.com/life/2013/03/women-s-family-recovery-center-opens/" target="_blank">A local news article dating to 2013</a> notes the opening of a <strong>women's family recovery center,</strong> where up to 12 women can stay for up to 90 days at a time, along with their children. However, Sunrise Centre's website doesn't mention this center.</p> <p>Upon completion of a program, alumni may join regional peer support groups. </p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided by the facility regarding its treatment staff, however, the single alum polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the center two out of five stars for the level of training found in its counselors.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided by the facility regarding its living arrangements and related offerings, however, the single alum polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the facility three stars for its accommodations, meals, and exercise and leisure facilities, and two stars for its cleanliness.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>The single alum polled by Rehabs.com to date would not recommend this facility. "In all fairness things might have gotten better there but I would not take the chance again. No way," Tim wrote, giving the facility two stars for its holistic offerings and one star for the overall quality of its individual and group counseling, and adding that the center did not meet their needs or expectations in the areas of psychiatric and medical care.</p> <p><strong>Review coverage posted on secondary sites at the time of this writing is polarized:</strong> the center has four one-star ratings and three five-star ratings spread between YellowPages.com, CiteHealth, and Facebook; note, two of the one-star ratings are duplicated.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></small> There's little overlap between the negative reviews: the reviewers variously cited a lack of treatment for co-occurring disorders, a lack of discharge planning, a broken furnace in winter, inadequate programming, and inappropriate dismissals.</p> <p>Both of the positive comments indicated that treatment had <strong>successfully helped clients to achieve sobriety,</strong> at least for a while after graduation. "I love it here I was there for 30 days and I have now been 10 months clean I am so grateful for Sunrise," one anonymous reviewer wrote in a representative review on CiteHealth.</p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>The single staff review Rehabs.com has been able to uncover at the time of this writing is mixed. "Great place to work, management is not the greatest," an anonymous reviewer wrote in a three-star review on Glassdoor, adding that "helping people better their futures" was a pro of working at the facility.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-4"><sup>[4]</sup></a></small></p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided on the facility's website regarding its costs, however, according to <a href="https://citehealth.com/rehab-centers/michigan/cities/alpena-city-in-alpena-county/sunrise-centre" target="_blank">CiteHealth</a>, the facility accepts Medicaid and state-financed insurance. </p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yellowpages.com/alpena-mi/mip/sunrise-centre-8955996?lid=8955996" target="_blank">https://www.yellowpages.com/alpena-mi/mip/sunrise-centre-8955996?lid=8955996</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="http://citehealth.com/rehab-centers/michigan/cities/alpena-city-in-alpena-county/sunrise-centre#reviews" target="_blank">http://citehealth.com/rehab-centers/michigan/cities/alpena-city-in-alpena-county/sunrise-centre#reviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sunrise-Centre/278842288882939" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sunrise-Centre/278842288882939</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-4"><sup>[4]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Sunrise-Centre-Reviews-E866352.htm" target="_blank">https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Sunrise-Centre-Reviews-E866352.htm</a></small></p>
