24-Hour Medically Supervised Detox

The P.I.E.R. (Promoting Integrated & Engaged Recovery), operated by Addiction Treatment Services in Traverse City, provides residential, 24-hour withdrawal management in a supportive clinical setting. Clients receive medical monitoring, rest, light exercise, and structured routines that promote safety and comfort. Detox services address alcohol, opioid, stimulant, and benzodiazepine dependence using evidence-based care and medications to manage symptoms and reduce risk during stabilization.

Integrated Care for Dual Recovery

The program combines mental health and substance use treatment to meet clients’ full range of needs. Evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, trauma-related counseling, and relapse prevention help clients manage co-occurring conditions, build coping skills, and prepare for continued treatment after detox.

Evidence-Based Medication Support

Medications for addiction treatment (MAT), including buprenorphine and naltrexone, are used to relieve withdrawal symptoms and lower relapse risk for opioid and alcohol use disorders. Clinical staff coordinate with prescribing providers to ensure consistent, safe care during and after detox, supporting a seamless transition into longer-term recovery programs.

Practical and Family-Focused Support

Beyond medical care, the P.I.E.R. offers case management, transportation assistance, employment counseling, and housing coordination to strengthen stability post-detox. Acupuncture and other supportive therapies promote relaxation, while residential beds for clients’ children make treatment accessible to parents. As part of a nonprofit network with over 40 years of community service, the program reflects a compassionate, trauma-informed approach rooted in dignity and respect.

Trust Score

A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.

Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities

CARF reviews rehab programs to make sure they provide respectful, effective, and personalized care. For addiction treatment, CARF uses standards developed with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), so this accreditation shows the program follows trusted, evidence-based guidelines for treating substance use.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
