Understanding SUD

What is Substance Use Disorder?

Substance Use Disorder can simply be defined as a pattern of harmful use of any substance for mood-altering purposes. Drug abuse is the use of illicit drugs or the abuse of prescription or over-the-counter drugs for purposes other than those for which they are indicated, or in quantities more than directed. There are a broad range of substances that can be abused, including inhalants, solvents, anabolic steroids, alcohol, prescription and over-the-counter medications, and even caffeine and tobacco in harmful excess. SUD affects people of all ages and backgrounds.

You are not alone.

Millions of Americans live with substance use disorders. Recovery is possible, and DWIHN is here to help you find the right path.

What We Offer

Substance use services in Wayne County

Recovery looks different for everyone. DWIHN coordinates a continuum of care, from first contact through long-term recovery, tailored to where you are right now.

Detoxification & Withdrawal Management

Medical and social detox services to safely manage withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, and other substances. Provided in residential, sub-acute, and outpatient settings depending on medical need.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

FDA-approved medications including buprenorphine (Suboxone), naltrexone (Vivitrol), and methadone combined with counseling for opioid and alcohol use disorders. MAT is the gold standard for opioid recovery.

Outpatient & Intensive Outpatient (IOP)

Structured counseling and group therapy at regular or intensive frequencies. IOP provides 9+ hours per week for those who need more support than standard outpatient but do not require residential care.

Residential Treatment

24-hour structured residential treatment for individuals who need a safe, substance-free environment to begin recovery. Short-term (28-day) and long-term residential programs are available.

Peer Recovery Coaches

Trained individuals with their own lived experience of recovery provide motivation, hope, and practical guidance. Peer coaches help navigate treatment, community resources, and daily challenges in recovery.

Harm Reduction Services

Narcan (naloxone) distribution, needle exchange, fentanyl test strip access, and linkage to care for people not yet ready for formal treatment. We meet you where you are, without judgment.

Eventually, something clicked. If these people believed in me this much, people who didn't owe me anything, who weren't getting anything out of it, then maybe I could start believing in myself. And once I did, everything changed. I started taking it seriously. I turned myself in. I got clean.

For Young People

SUD Teens

Ever wonder why people use stuff to feel different? Sometimes, using things like drugs or alcohol can mess with our heads and lives more than we think. That is what we call a Substance Use Disorder (SUD). It is not just about the hard stuff; even everyday things like inhalants, steroids, and even too much caffeine can be a problem. It is all about how we use them.

We believe in you and we are all about making things easier, not harder. No matter what you are dealing with, stress, anxiety, or anything else, we see you, and we are here to help.

Need to Talk?

Feeling lost or just need someone to listen? Our 24-hour helpline is always here. You are not alone in this.

Director, Substance Use Disorder Programs

Matt and his team design systems to invite people into treatment — normalizing access and treating SUD care with the same urgency as any other chronic medical condition. We streamline the path to care to ensure that reaching out is met with an open door.

Together we are shifting the narrative from one of shame and isolation, to one of support and opportunity. Helping people build lives that they do not want to escape from.
