About The Children's Center

The Children’s Center helps children and teens with emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges. Located in Detroit, they support youth from infancy to age 21 through outpatient therapy, psychiatric care, and telehealth. They treat anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, and more. With over 85 years of experience, their care reaches families at home and in school.
Their team uses evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), parent-child interaction therapy, and behavior therapy to guide healing. Each child receives a personalized care plan developed with psychologists, psychiatrists, and case managers. They also provide social skills groups, psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and trauma-informed interventions to promote emotional growth and stability.
Families are matched with Parent Support Partners—trained caregivers who have firsthand experience raising children with similar challenges and can offer guidance, encouragement, and connection to helpful resources. The center partners with schools and hospitals to reduce barriers to care and help kids succeed. They also offer developmental evaluations, crisis intervention, and telehealth for convenience. Every program is designed to help children thrive at home, in school, and in life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does The Children's Center accept Medicaid?
SAMHSA data does not list Medicaid among this facility's accepted payment types. Call (313) 831-5535 directly to confirm — coverage may have changed since the last SAMHSA sync. You can also browse other MI centers that accept Medicaid.
What level of care does The Children's Center offer?
Does The Children's Center have specialized programs?
SAMHSA data does not list specialized populations. The facility may still offer specialty tracks — confirm directly.
What therapy methods does The Children's Center use?
Specific therapy approaches are not listed in SAMHSA data. Contact the facility for clinical details.
How do I start treatment at The Children's Center?
Call the facility directly at (313) 831-5535 for an intake assessment. Our free 24/7 helpline (+1 (205) 973-2878) can also help you compare programs, verify insurance, and navigate options. No physician referral is required.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
