Michigan Teen Addiction Hotline
Michigan Teen Substance Abuse Helpline
Alcohol, marijuana, tobacco, prescription medications, and occasionally other illicit drugs like opioids or stimulants are the most often abused substances among Michigan youth. Similar to other states, Michigan has peer pressure, stress, easy access to drugs, family dynamics, and environmental effects that all contribute to teen substance addiction.
A thorough approach that includes prevention, education, early intervention, and treatment services is needed to address teen substance misuse in Michigan. To provide services and support for youth who are at risk, schools, community organizations, healthcare professionals, and governmental organizations frequently work together.
Prevention programs aim to educate young people about the risks associated with substance abuse and provide them with the skills and knowledge to make healthier choices. School-based prevention efforts, community outreach, and peer support networks play a crucial role in raising awareness and promoting drug-free environments.
Early intervention is vital for identifying and assisting teenagers who may be experimenting with or at risk of developing substance abuse problems. Early identification can prevent escalation into more severe issues and provide necessary support to teenagers and their families.
Michigan offers various treatment services for adolescents struggling with substance abuse, including outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation programs, counseling, and support groups. Accessible and evidence-based treatment options are essential for promoting recovery and addressing the underlying issues contributing to substance use. If you need immediate medical attention, call 911 Now.

Common Ground Michigan
Common Ground Michigan was founded in 1971 by a group of students, parents and community leaders who were concerned about an increase in substance abuse and suicide among young people. United Community Services volunteers began The Sanctuary, Inc. in response to the growing number of runaway youth in Oakland County. The residential counseling program for runaway and homeless youth, ages 10–17, opened in 1974. The program offered youth two weeks in which to resolve the conflicts that led them to leave home.
