Office of Recipient Rights
When you receive mental health services, Michigan’s Mental Health Code and other laws safeguard your rights. Furthermore, our staff is responsible for protecting your rights when they provide services to you.
You are encouraged to ask questions about your treatment and about your rights. We also encourage you to make suggestions on anything you feel would be in your best interest.
If you believe your rights have been violated, please inform the Rights Officer.
