Starfish Family Services is an outpatient treatment facility located in Westland, MI, dedicated to serving individuals and families struggling with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. The facility specializes in providing affirming, culturally competent care for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) clients, recognizing that marginalized communities often face unique barriers to treatment access. Founded on principles of compassion and evidence-based practice, Starfish Family Services creates a safe, judgment-free environment where clients can begin their recovery journey with providers who understand their specific needs and challenges.
Starfish Family Services offers outpatient treatment, which allows clients to receive comprehensive mental health and substance abuse services while maintaining their daily responsibilities at home, work, or school. This level of care is ideal for individuals with moderate support needs who benefit from structured treatment without requiring residential hospitalization. The facility specializes in treating co-occurring mental and substance use disorders—conditions in which depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, or other mental health conditions exist alongside alcohol or drug addiction. Research shows that integrated treatment addressing both conditions simultaneously produces better outcomes than treating them separately. Additionally, Starfish Family Services offers exclusive programs and groups designed specifically for LGBT clients, ensuring that therapy is culturally affirming and addresses the distinct stressors, discrimination, and mental health needs common within the LGBTQ+ community.
Starfish Family Services accepts multiple payment options to make treatment as accessible as possible, including self-payment, Medicaid, state-financed insurance, and private health insurance. Most private health insurance plans are required by the Mental Health Parity Act to cover substance use disorder and mental health treatment with the same benefits and coverage limitations as other medical conditions. If you have insurance through your employer or a marketplace plan, your treatment costs may be significantly reduced or fully covered. The facility works with clients to navigate their specific insurance benefits and understand their financial responsibility before treatment begins.
Taking the first step toward recovery takes courage, and financial concerns should never prevent you from seeking help.
