<p><strong>ABOUT SMITH COUNSELING CENTERS</strong></p> <p>Smith Counseling Centres (SCC) is a private organization that operates <strong>two outpatient counseling facilities</strong> in Berkley and Warren, in the northern suburbs of Detroit, Mich. They offer outpatient treatment to individuals struggling with substance use disorder, including clients with <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/why-do-people-drink-and-drive-the-answers-are-pretty-jarring/" target="_blank">drunk driving convictions</a>. SCC is one of 126 substance abuse treatment facilities in Michigan (<a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/MI17.pdf" target="_blank">28 percent</a> of all treatment facilities in the state) to provide services to DUI/DWI clients.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Treatment begins with an <strong>initial interview</strong>, following which the counselor and the client work together to determine an appropriate course of treatment. In addition to group, individual, and <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/the-pain-of-addiction-in-the-family-how-counseling-can-help/" target="_blank">family therapy</a> on a standard outpatient basis, SCC offers an <strong>intensive outpatient program (IOP)</strong>, a modality available in <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/MI17.pdf" target="_blank">37 percent</a> of outpatient treatment facilities in Michigan. </p> <p>The IOP involves attending <strong>group therapy</strong> three to five times per week, and offers the option of supplementary <strong>individual counseling</strong>. Participants may also receive education about addiction, recovery, and drunk driving.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided by the facility regarding its treatment staff.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>While Rehabs.com has not yet received any reviews from this facility’s alumni, SCC earned two five-star ratings on Google<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small>, along with the following comment from Joshua: "Very nice very caring knows what he is talking about. Will do anything to help his clients."</p> <p>SCC also received a five-star rating based on the opinions of four individuals on Facebook<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small>, which the facility may be able to manage. "Saved and also changed my life forever and it just gets better," one alum wrote.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The single loved one polled by Rehabs.com to date gave SCC negative feedback. The anonymous family member, a father of a former client, gave the facility just one out of five stars for its counseling options, its staff's level of training and experience, its family involvement, and the overall quality of its addiction and mental health treatment. He described the marketing as misleading and the facility as a fraud, and reported that he payed "many thousands a month and no treatment."</p> <p>There was one parent on CiteHealth<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></small>, however, who disagreed. That anonymous reviewer gave SCC an overall rating of five out of five stars and wrote: "My 16 year old is a changed person."</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>SCC's website notes that the cost of treatment is "kept to a minimum," but does not specify where that minimum falls. The facility's website notes that credits cards are accepted and payment plans offered, but does not indicate whether or not insurance is accepted. The single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date indicated that they paid in cash, and noted that they did not think the pricing was fair.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Smith+Counseling+Centers+in+Berkley%2C+MI&oq=Smith+Counseling+Centers+in+Berkley%2C+MI&aqs=chrome..69i57.197j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x8824c8a3076718d3:0xafa9184dfcde8376,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/Smith-Counseling-Centres-199187980520264/reviews/?ref=page_internal" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/Smith-Counseling-Centres-199187980520264/reviews/?ref=page_internal</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <a href="http://citehealth.com/rehab-centers/michigan/cities/berkley/smith-counseling-centers#reviews" target="_blank">http://citehealth.com/rehab-centers/michigan/cities/berkley/smith-counseling-centers#reviews</a></small></p>
