A new facility in Sterling Heights is offering people struggling with addiction a different path to recovery – one that leads away from emergency rooms and jail cells. The Macomb County Community Mental Health Substance Use Engagement Center opened its doors this week, providing round-the-clock support for individuals facing addiction challenges. The facility aims to intervene before people end up hospitalized or incarcerated. The facility comes as Michigan communities face a growing opioid crisis. According to the University of Michigan Opioid Research Institute, there are roughly 224 opioid deaths per day across the United States.
