About Dawn Farm Spera Recovery Center
Spera Recovery Center is one of Dawn Farm’s substance abuse treatment facilities located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. They offer social detox for adults with a focus on creating a sustainable plan for moving forward. They are LBGTQ+ friendly.
Detox is the first step on the path to recovery. Social detox means that prescription medication is not used for withdrawal. If a patient faces a medical risk during withdrawal, Spera will coordinate with another provider or emergency department.
After intake, Spera counselors will complete an initial assessment and monitor withdrawal from alcohol or other drugs. Together, the client and counselor will develop treatment and recovery plans. This may include inpatient treatment, outpatient treatment, sober housing and case management. These services may be available with Dawn Farm or another community provider.
Their detox program is part of their continuum of care services. It includes participating in daily mutual aid meetings as well as individual and group therapy. Sleeping arrangements are bunk beds in gendered rooms. Trans and non-binary clients choose the sleeping arrangement that is most comfortable for them. Dawn Farm volunteers take care of all the cooking and cleaning for patients in detox.
Dawn Farm is a non-profit organization and is CARF-accredited. They rely on community support to run programs and offer some free spots. They also offer payment assistance. Contact your provider to verify coverage because out of network benefits can vary.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy. |
Aftercare programs provide ongoing support after you complete a rehab program. They may include several components to help you maintain sobriety including therapy, community support groups and relapse prevention strategies. This gives you a network of resources as you reintegrate into your daily life. |
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations. |
Partial hospitalization programs provide comprehensive treatment in a structured setting during the day but allow you to return home at night. These programs offer a balance of inpatient and outpatient rehab and provide intensive support without full time residency. |
