Substance Use Disorder Services

Great Lakes Recovery Centers believes that a substance use disorder is a disease that impacts the individual, family members and the community and that there are multiple pathways to recovery. The treatment of this illness can best be addressed with an array of services provided by caring professionals and the involvement of support systems, a person’s family and their community.

In addition to substance use disorder clinical services, GLRC also offers Peer Recovery and Recovery Housing.
