LANSING, Mich. – Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Director Elizabeth Hertel visited with officials at Hegira Health, Inc., and Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network (DWIHN) today to discuss the state’s continuing commitment to expand access to behavioral health care.
“Everyone deserves access to health care when and where they need it and at the level of care they need,” said Hertel. “The department has been working with community partners to ensure Michigan families have access to a variety of types and levels of behavioral health care, from community clinics to crisis stabilization units to residential treatment. By expanding care in communities, residents can get help sooner, allowing them to live safe and healthy lives.”
Psychiatric residential treatment facilities
Hegira offers a variety of services including The Treehouse, the state’s newest psychiatric residential treatment facility (PRTF) opened earlier this year; residential substance use disorder treatment; and a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC). CCBHCs are federally required to provide nine comprehensive behavioral health services, including 24/7 mobile crisis response and medication-assisted treatment for substance use disorders.
Michigan has 35 CCBHCS in its Medicaid demonstration project, as well as several additional provider organizations currently receiving federal grant funding to establish clinics and provide CCBHC services. In FY 2024, 30 Medicaid-funded CCBHCs provided services to approximately 133,300 unique individuals across Michigan. Approximately 30% of individuals served were children and young adults ages 0 to 21, and 70% were adults.
“We believe that prioritizing wellness is essential for individuals to reach their full potential. It is a source of pride and a significant responsibility for us to play an essential role in our community's health care landscape," said Carol Zuniga, president and CEO, Hegira Health Inc.
Recent investments to create step-up and step-down facilities like CCBHCs, Crisis Stabilization Units (CSUs) and PRTFs relieve pressure on hospital emergency departments by expanding the number of beds for youth who need short-term crisis stabilization or residential treatment.Hegira’s PRTF is the fourth to open in the state and offers four beds for youth ages 9 to 17. PRTFs provide an environment that allows Medicaid-eligible youth to transition or step down from inpatient care services to community placement.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s FY 27 budget includes an $8.3 million investment for additional PRTFs in Grand Rapids, Lansing and Livonia that are expected to bring 50 new transitional beds online.
Pine Rest and Hope Network DART offer two additional PRTFs in Grand Rapids. Catholic Charities of Ingham, Eaton and Clinton Counties recently opened a PRTF in Lansing that offers 36 beds serving youth ages 9 to17.

DWIHN Integrated Crisis Care Campus
As part of an effort to expand crisis care capacity and modernize behavioral health care in Wayne County, a $60 million budget appropriation was included in the FY 2023 budget for DWIHN to build a new Integrated Crisis Care Campus in Detroit.
The facility is designed to meet a broad range of community behavioral health needs, including a trauma-informed, home-like environment for individuals in crisis. The campus will also bring physical health, dental and vision services together under one roof to better serve the community’s full range of health care needs.
“The progress we’re seeing on this long-awaited, state-of-the-art health care facility reflects our commitment to expanding access to care,” said James E. White, DWIHN president and CEO. “Once completed, it will bring critical, integrated health services directly into the neighborhood. I couldn’t be more proud or excited to provide these much-needed resources.”
The facility will offer walk-in crisis services designed to reduce reliance on emergency departments and a dedicated youth CSU to support children and adolescents in crisis.
Michigan Public Act 402 of 2020 created CSUs to provide immediate support to anyone in a behavioral health crisis and are an alternative to emergency department and psychiatric inpatient admission for people who can be stabilized through treatment and recovery coaching within 72 hours.
