Personalized Support Through Our Continuum of Care
With our Continuum of Care, you don’t have to start over at every step—each service is part of a seamless path designed to meet your changing needs and support long-term recovery
Withdrawal Management Services
PNLH offers safe and compassionate withdrawal management services for individuals beginning their recovery journey. This program is designed to provide medical and emotional support throughout the detoxification process, ensuring comfort and safety every step of the way.
Care is overseen by Dr. Raymond Edison, MD, a board-certified addiction medicine physician. Dr. Edison conducts evaluations either in person or via Telehealth and is available for consultation seven days a week. He works closely with our nursing staff to monitor progress and respond to any emerging needs.
Withdrawal management includes 24-hour onsite nursing provided by Licensed Practical Nurses or Registered Nurses. The nursing team supports clients through the physical and emotional challenges of withdrawal, providing continuous monitoring, reassurance, and care.
This program follows the standards of ASAM Level 3.7 Withdrawal Management. This level of care is designed for individuals experiencing moderate to severe withdrawal symptoms and provides medically monitored detoxification in a structured setting. It serves as a critical first step before transitioning into ongoing treatment and recovery services.
Residential Treatment Program
PNLH’s Residential Treatment Program offers a structured and supportive environment for individuals seeking recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. This live-in setting is designed for those who benefit from daily therapeutic engagement and a consistent, healing routine.
Clients participate in daily group therapy sessions and receive weekly individual counseling. Group sessions are held six days a week for five hours per day, and four hours on Sundays. These include both open process discussions and educational presentations that support emotional growth, skill-building, and connection with peers.
Individual therapy is guided by PNLH’s LIGHT Model of care, a strengths-based approach that integrates the Stages of Change and Motivational Interviewing. This model emphasizes compassion, readiness, and personal empowerment throughout the recovery process.
PNLH staff also incorporate additional evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-informed care strategies such as Seeking Safety and TREM. These interventions are especially helpful for individuals managing post-traumatic stress and emotional regulation challenges.
This program meets the standards for ASAM Level 3.5 and 3.7 residential care. These levels provide high-intensity services in a structured, 24-hour setting for individuals who require more support than outpatient care offers but do not need inpatient hospitalization. Treatment includes therapy, education, trauma support, and planning for continued care following discharge.
Intensive Outpatient Program with Housing (IOPD)
PNLH’s Intensive Outpatient Program with Domicile, known as IOPD, was one of the first programs in the state of Michigan to offer this level of care. It provides a structured and supportive environment for individuals working toward recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions while continuing to live in the community.
The program includes 4.5 hours of group therapy each weekday, along with at least one individual counseling session per week with a master’s level therapist. This consistent therapeutic engagement promotes healing, builds coping skills, and encourages long-term stability.
Participants live in fully furnished, recovery-focused housing provided by PNLH. Rent, utilities, and water are fully covered. Clients are responsible only for their own food. Each apartment typically houses four residents, with two people per bedroom. When services are offered in person, PNLH provides shuttle transportation between the residences and the treatment center to support participation and routine.
This program follows ASAM Level 2.1 guidelines, which refer to Intensive Outpatient Services. This level of care offers at least nine hours of treatment each week for adults and is appropriate for individuals who need more structure than traditional outpatient services but do not require inpatient treatment.
Key features include individual and group counseling, education on substance use and mental health, recovery skill development, peer support, access to appropriate medications including those for opioid use disorder, and planning for reintegration into family, work, and school life.
IOPD offers a safe, stable, and encouraging foundation for building a healthier future.
Enhanced Outpatient Program with Housing (EOPD)
The Enhanced Outpatient Program with Domicile, or EOPD, is a unique and empowering option that combines outpatient treatment with safe, supportive recovery housing. This program is ideal for individuals who are committed to their recovery and benefit from a healing living environment while engaging in therapy and support services.
Participants receive weekly individual counseling sessions, 90-minute group therapy sessions, and reside in clean, recovery-focused housing provided by PNLH. Living in a stable, substance-free environment helps reinforce daily routines, build accountability, and strengthen long-term recovery.

After an initial evaluation, a licensed professional works with each participant to design a plan that may include therapy, medication, housing support, and other services to support the full recovery journey.
Outpatient Recovery Services (OP)

Peer Coaching Services
At PNLH, Peer Coaching is an essential part of our recovery-focused care. Certified Peer Recovery Coaches offer guidance, encouragement, and real-life insight drawn from their own lived experience with substance use disorder and long-term recovery. Each Peer Coach is someone who has walked the path of recovery and now supports others in building their own.
Peer Coaches use the LIGHT Model and a strength-based approach to empower clients at every stage of treatment. They provide both individual and group sessions, offering support that is relatable, respectful, and grounded in shared experience.
In addition to providing direct support, Peer Coaches help clients navigate care within PNLH’s continuum of services. They assist with linking to resources, coordinating care, and connecting clients with local recovery communities for ongoing support and accountability.
Peer Coaching at PNLH helps clients stay engaged, motivated, and hopeful as they build a healthier and more purposeful life.
Case Management Services
PNLH provides professional case management to support clients in meeting essential needs that go beyond clinical care. Our case managers are certified through the Michigan Certification Board for Addiction Professionals and bring both expertise and compassion to their work.
Each client is partnered with a case manager who helps identify and address individual needs such as food, clothing, employment, housing, medical and dental care, state benefits, and other important supports. Case managers assist with applications, appointments, and referrals, ensuring that each client has the tools and connections needed to move forward in recovery and daily life.
PNLH case managers are deeply knowledgeable about local resources and are skilled in navigating community systems. They act as advocates, connectors, and partners throughout each client’s journey, helping to reduce barriers and promote long-term stability and wellness.
