Mission

The mission of the Michigan Offender Success Model is to create a safer Michigan by holding clients accountable while promoting their success.

Vision

Through innovative programming and case management, the vision of the Michigan Offender Success Model is to provide every client knowledge, skills, resources, and opportunities to be successful and productive members of the community.

How is This Accomplished?

The mission is accomplished by targeting service provision to meet the identified needs of returning clients, thereby reducing their risk of recidivism and enhancing their education and employment opportunities. OS Reentry Services employs Specialists to assure all counties have adequate services and vendors to meet the needs of all returning citizens. They also develop employer relationships to provide employment opportunities to returning citizens, and coordinate job placement activities for program participants.

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.
