About this Recovery House
Abundant Community Recovery Services - Detroit is a coed recovery residence in Detroit, Michigan, the seat of Wayne County. It is certified at Level 3 and Level 4 by the Michigan Association of Recovery Residences, and its programs run from the Oakman Complex on Oakman Boulevard.
Coed Recovery Housing on Oakman Boulevard
Oakman Boulevard runs through Detroit's northwest side, a wide residential street of brick houses and small apartment buildings. Housing here takes both of the forms the certification list recognizes, single-family homes and apartment units, and men and women are both served. The provider's intensive outpatient program operates on Dequindre Street on the city's east side, so a resident attending it stays inside one organization and one city.
Level 3 and Level 4 MARR Sober Living Certification
Carrying both levels is unusual and it tells a prospective resident something concrete. Level 3 is supervised housing: paid staff, an organizational structure above the residents, written admission and discharge policy, and programming residents attend. Level 4 goes further, adding clinical services delivered inside the residence by credentialed staff. A provider certified at both can hold a resident who needs treatment where they live and then step them down to supervised housing without a move. Michigan requires none of this. There is no state license, no registry and no inspection for recovery residences, so a certified address is one that volunteered for an outside standard.
How DWIHN Funding Covers This Recovery Home
Rates are set by the funder, the Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network. Qualifying residents have the first four months paid through DWIHN, after which the charge becomes income based. For someone leaving jail or a residential program with nothing saved, that structure answers the question that sinks most placements: how the first month gets paid. Four months is also long enough to find work before the fee starts tracking earnings, which is the point of staging it that way.
Medication-Assisted Treatment and Recovery Housing
Residents on prescribed buprenorphine or methadone are accepted, and the acceptance is recorded on the certification list. So is felony history: people with felony convictions are admitted here, which removes the barrier that stops a large share of referrals out of the Wayne County jail and the state prison system. The residence is not ADA accessible, so anyone with a mobility need should raise it before applying.
A Detroit Recovery Housing Provider Serving Wayne County
The target population is adults living in Wayne County, and the organization frames its work around people whose histories include long involvement with addiction and, often, untreated mental health conditions. Detroit is both the county seat and the largest city in Michigan, which concentrates the courts, the public behavioral health system, the outpatient providers and the transit lines in one place. A recovery residence inside the city keeps a resident inside that system, and inside the DWIHN service area that pays for much of it.
Applying to This Detroit Recovery Residence
Applications go through the provider, which also runs a mobile outreach unit and housing readiness programming, so a first contact often happens before a bed is available. Ask whether DWIHN funding applies to a specific applicant, what the income-based fee looks like after month four, whether the placement offered is an apartment or a house, how many residents share it, and which of the two certification levels applies to that unit.
