The Ten16 Recovery Network serving those with addictions around the area has moved its outpatient services building to be more centrally located in Big Rapids. 

 

The original outpatient services building was located on 19 Mile Road since 2007 but has now moved to 150 S. Stewart Ave. in Big Rapids.  

 

Chief Program Officer and Community Engagement Manager, Christa Galer said the new location will allow those struggling with addictions or those who think they may be headed in the wrong direction with substances to come into a safe positive environment to learn and recover from their addiction.  

 

"For those who have been struggling, we have a wellness advocate who will talk to them about where they are at in their recovery, what their interests are, if they want to start making changes,  helping them connect to community resources and even navigate the treatment process for the individual." Galer said. 

 

"At our outpatient services building we have peer support services with a recovery coach who talks about a number of topics with groups and also will help those walk-ins who are struggling and they need to help navigating where to go or who to call. We also have counseling services for both groups or individuals or if you are a person in recovery that is having a bad day and struggling they can come in and hang out for a bit " Galer added. 

 

The new outpatient building will be hosting an open house on December 15th, from 3pm-6pm which will allow attendees to get a look at the new facility and everything they have to offer.
