Program Description
Clinical Program (1 Year) -- The major clinical sites for training are the University of Michigan Addiction Treatment Services (UMATS) and the Ann Arbor V.A. Medical Center (VAMC). UMATS is the outpatient clinic for addiction treatment and will move in December 2006 from its current location on Eisenhower Parkway, Ann Arbor, to the new Rachel Upjohn building, known as the UM Depression Center at 4250 Plymouth Rd., Ann Arbor, MI. Experience is provided with a broad range of treatment care levels (inpatient, day treatment, intensive outpatient, outpatient, and emergency), treatment modalities (milieu, educational, relapse prevention, 12-step facilitation, motivational therapy, interactional group therapy, family therapy, and pharmacotherapy), and treatment populations (dual diagnosis, adolescents, older adults, indigent, and socially stable). Training in detoxification and maintenance treatment for opiate addiction is done at UMATS where buprenorphine (Suboxone and Subutex) is utilized for that purpose. Fellows also participate in a structured didactic program, which includes seminars, conferences, and grand rounds. Two hours of individual supervision are provided weekly.
