Unfortunately, treatment services for youth are limited and often lack comprehensive, up-to-date care, leaving patients and their families with few options.
That’s where we come in.
The Jamie Daniels Foundation has committed $500,000 over multiple years to establish and sustain the Adolescent Addiction Recovery Center (AARC) at Children’s Hospital of Michigan in Troy. This center is a crucial resource for families in Southeast Michigan with children facing substance use disorders. AARC accepts all patients, including those without insurance and regardless of their ability to pay.
The Jamie Daniels Foundation and other funders support the Adolescent Addiction Recovery Center to offer comprehensive, therapy-focused substance use disorder retreatment in the Detroit area.
Dr. Matt LaCasse, a general psychiatrist who specializes in both child and adolescent psychiatry, as well as addiction psychiatry, serves as the clinic director. He is one of a limited number of experts in the United States who holds this unique set of qualifications.
Dr. LaCasse and his staff provide comprehensive, out-patient therapy-focused substance use disorder treatment programs for those under the age of 18. Available services include:
