About Skywood Recovery
Skywood Recovery is located on 300 acres of woodland, fields, and ponds in beautiful Augusta, Michigan. Skywood Recovery believes that clients are not their diagnosis, and they should not be treated like a condition. Using an integrated, whole-person approach, Skywood Recovery treats addiction and co-occurring disorders with compassion and respect. Their levels of care include residential care with detox, day treatment, an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and general outpatient.
A talented and qualified team of clinical and psychological staff helps make treatment both tailored and safe. Each client at Skywood Recovery receives a thorough treatment assessment, which uses a bio-psycho-social model to understand clients’ past, present, and what they want for the future. Using this, Skywood’s professionals craft unique and fully personalized treatment plans that include a blend of evidence-based, holistic, and spiritual therapies to treat the whole person.
Skywood Recovery notably doesn’t make claims or promises regarding recovery. They see addiction as a disease that can be effectively treated, but not cured. Skywood offers encouragement and hope through reality–addiction can be treated. They offer psychoeducation to educate clients and their loved ones on the nature of addiction, medications, and co-occurring conditions. Their therapies include
•Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
•Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
•Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
•Adventure therapy
•Art therapy
•Equine therapy
•Nutrition and wellness
•Family therapy
•Anger management, 12-Step and peer support meetings.
Once a 300-acre golf resort, Skywood Recovery has over 5 miles of paths through their beautiful woodland acreage. Every acre flourishes with wildlife and tranquil greenery. Clients can enjoy daily hikes through the woods and take in the peace and privacy of Skywood’s grounds day or night. Inside, clients will enjoy shared living quarters in cottage-like accommodations. On-site chefs prepare healthy and nutritious meals every day of the week. From Skywood’s clinical staff to their housekeeping crew, each member is fully dedicated to the needs and success of each client.
Skywood Recovery is accredited by the Joint Commission. They accept most major insurances (no Medicaid or Medicare) and offer a free online insurance verification.

Insurance Accepted
Provider's Policy:When you or a loved one needs help, dealing with insurance benefits and travel arrangements may be the last thing you want to worry about. Our admissions coordinators answer a wide range of questions related to addiction and treatment, and they can tell you whether treatment is needed, what kind may be best, and what insurance will cover. Our goal is simple: to provide honest, straightforward, life-changing help. We are in network with most commercial insurance providers but do not accept Medicaid or Medicare.
Thorough assessments lead each unique treatment plan at Skywood Recovery. Clients will have their pasts and addiction history examined, with Skywood’s professionals seeking to be as well-informed as possible before crafting a treatment plan. Bio-psycho-social assessments make fully personalized treatment a given at Skywood.
Healing addiction is a family-wide process. Skywood Recovery involves the family and loved ones of clients during treatment, inviting them to attend family sessions and family weekends. As a group, clients and their families can begin to recover, heal, and find support and education along the way.
Skywood Recovery is like no other—on 300 acres, they provide a treatment experience that’s tough to beat. Winding paths and birch tree forests unlock the healing capabilities of nature, morning or night. Ponds and campfires, plus plentiful outdoor seating, give clients the opportunity to enjoy Skywood’s unique Michigan location in each others’ company.
Skywood Recovery knows that treatment must extend past the symptoms of addiction to be successful. They instead treat the mind, body, and spirit, using a variety of evidence-based therapies and holistic approaches to get to the root cause of addiction. Correcting thought patterns, behaviors, and processing trauma are some of the ways Skywood fosters true healing.
