Community Services
When you or someone you love needs help, it’s often hard to know what to do or where to turn. At Great Lakes Recovery Centers, we have diversified our services to offer additional non-clinical care.
Communities That Care
GLRC coordinates several Communities that Care (CTC) coalitions across the Upper Peninsula. The evidence-based prevention model addresses risk factors for youth problem behavior and creates opportunities for youth to engage in the community. The mission is to unite community members to create a healthier, safer community for our youth.
Foster Care Services
Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) contracts with GLRC to provide foster care recruitment, training and retention services across the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Regional Resource Team (RRT) members are located throughout the region to ensure that the entire Upper Peninsula has local resources available.

These Community-based Peer Recovery Specialists serve as a resource and support system for others who are currently in treatment and who are living in recovery. They also provide support and assistance to people affected by others addiction/substance use disorders.
