Recovery Pathways

What Recovery Pathways does

Recovery Pathways, LLC is a Michigan-licensed, Joint Commission-accredited outpatient behavioral health provider founded in 2009 and headquartered in Bay City, MI. The organization delivers individualized, evidence-based treatment for adolescents and adults with substance use disorders (opioids, stimulants, alcohol, prescription medications, Kratom) and co-occurring mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and anger management. Eight clinic locations span Bay, Shiawassee, Midland, Saginaw, Arenac, Isabella, Gladwin, and Oakland counties, with intake supported by phone, online booking, walk-ins, and a referral ecosystem that includes healthcare providers, Child Protective Services, probation/parole, the VA Community Care Network, and MMR Community Paramedics.

The service portfolio combines core outpatient care (individual counseling, group therapy, family/couples counseling, play therapy, EMDR) with medication-assisted treatment (MAT) using FDA-approved agents SUBOXONE, SUBLOCADE, BRIXADI, and VIVITROL. Clinical operations are supported by GeneSight pharmacogenomic testing for personalized psychiatric prescribing, a Kareo-based patient portal for records and scheduling, and RP Labs LLC (a wholly-owned subsidiary providing urine drug screening via the Paracelsus color call-in system for justice-involved referrals). Specialty funded programs include the Substance Use Disorder Health Home, the MDHHS-funded Recovery Incentive Program (contingency management for Medicaid/HMP beneficiaries), the MSHN-funded Enhanced Women's Specialty Program for parents with SUD, the Bridge The Gap paramedic linkage program, and a Harm Reduction program distributing Narcan and supplies.

Revenue is generated predominantly through insurance reimbursement across commercial payers (Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, Blue Care Network) and public payers (Medicaid, Healthy Michigan Plan, Medicare, Michigan Regional Prepaid Health Plans via McLaren/Molina/Priority Health), supplemented by state and regional contract funding, Veterans Affairs CCN referrals, and cash-pay at $225 for a first appointment and $75 per follow-up. Services are billed on a pay-as-you-go schedule, with a sliding-fee discount program available regardless of ability to pay. The leadership team is clinician-led and includes a DO/MPH addiction medicine physician (William Morrone), a PharmD (Edward Smith), licensed master social workers, licensed professional counselors, certified alcohol and drug counselors, a community health worker, and recovery coaching staff.
