Recovery Care Team offers a unique resource for those enrolled in Medicaid. Your customized care team includes a Peer Recovery Coach, nurse, doctor, and clinician to provide you with the most support!

We have an upcoming clinic on Monday, March 9th in the Traverse City and Cadillac regions to help individuals enrolled in Medicaid access free, personalized support for substance use recovery.

💬 What’s included?
✔️ A dedicated team: coaches, a doctor, a nurse, and counselors
✔️ A care plan built around your goals
✔️ Ongoing support and access to local resources

This program is like a premium subscription—but FREE for Medicaid enrollees.
You don’t have to do it alone. Recovery is possible, and support is just a call away. 💙
