Wellness and Recovery Clinic
Welcome to the Wellness and Recovery Clinic, formerly known as the Behavioral Health Services at Western Michigan University. The Wellness and Recovery Clinic is a licensed and accredited outpatient provider specializing in substance use and behavioral health disorder treatment services in Michigan.
Our services are delivered by therapists who are licensed and credentialed in the state of Michigan and who possess extensive experience in assessment, individual therapy, group counseling, and family treatment services. We are committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care that supports individuals on their journey toward wellness and recovery.
In addition to serving the community, the Wellness and Recovery Clinic functions as a clinical training site for graduate-level health and human services students. These students provide treatment services under the supervision of the Clinic’s Clinical Director and in partnership with Western Michigan University’s specialty program in alcohol and drug abuse studies.
Who can benefit?
Anyone currently experiencing challenges related to alcohol or other drug use, mental health concerns, or other behavioral health conditions may benefit from the services provided by the Wellness and Recovery Clinic. Services are also available for individuals who are required to participate in treatment for substance use-related concerns.
Treatment recommendations, including the duration and intensity of services, are individualized and determined following a comprehensive assessment to ensure each person receives the appropriate level of care and support.
Students involved with the Western Michigan University Office of Student Conduct may also benefit from the prevention and diversion programs offered through the Clinic.
The Wellness and Recovery Clinic provides counseling services to individuals throughout the Kalamazoo, southwest Michigan, and Western Michigan University communities, including WMU students and other young adults experiencing substance use or mental health challenges.
