Programs and Services
No one is turned away from Detroit Central City. Half of our clients are
homeless and two-thirds of our clients are unemployed or underemployed.
Income is a problem for many of our clients, but no one is turned away.
Housing
Detroit Central City addresses the problems of many of our clients who
need housing in addition to mental health services.
Short-term Emergency Housing Assistance Along with mental health and support services provided by DCC staff, DCC's Transitional Housing Program seeks to provide placement in longer-term housing in conjunction with case management.
Outreach
Many clients are served in the community setting. Outreach services are
provided primarily in the client's own environment. These services
include individual therapy, medication review and administration, social
living and money management skills, occupational therapy, health
services, case management and crisis intervention.
Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) provides an assertive, comprehensive array of mobile services in the community including substance abuse services. The ACT Program provides these same services to clients in the community who do not necessarily have their own housing.
Community Reentry Services DCC staff works with individuals who are being discharged from the corrections system and who need assistance with community integration. These services typically include mental health, substance abuse, outreach, and treatment monitoring.
Life Management and Recovery
Life Management and Recovery provides ongoing community-based services
to the largest number of clients seeking support services from Detroit
Central City. Clients come to our location at 10 Peterboro, Detroit, MI
for this support.
Clients who experience symptoms of mental illness, but who do not need
close supervision and structure to remain in the community are provided
with an integrative system of services. They receive diagnosis and
evaluation, individual, group and family therapy, medication management
and more.
Clients often need daily, structured programming. The Inner City
Clubhouse is committed to helping people with severe mental illness
remain out of hospitals while achieving educational, financial, and
vocational goals. Club members "own" the Clubhouse and, assisted by
staff, are responsible for its' operation. They are engaged in all
decisions about programming and activities. Activities focus on meal
planning, food preparation and service, office work, and maintenance.
The Drop-In Center provides weekend activities while the Consumer Run Project is a client-run work opportunity within the agency providing weekend activities. Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous groups are accessible within the Drop-In Center program.
