Michigan care-setting mix
How Michigan's 524 listings split by care setting
Exclusive outpatient / residential partition for this listing's state peers. Orthogonal to the inventory≠MAT dual above and to this facility's own service list (service rows can overlap; these buckets cannot).
Sparse-record desk: Guiding Light
Signature: #14,999 of 17,974 completeness. Guiding Light is a sparse N-SUMHSS sheet (25 attrs; below 30). Treat missing MAT/Medicaid/modality rows as unreported, not proven absent; confirm by phone before travel.
What is present: residential; payment assistance. What is thin: many SAMHSA fields blank on this vintage. Guiding Light's SAMHSA record documents fewer attributes (25) than the typical Michigan facility (state median: 35, out of 524 listed statewide). That is common for smaller or newly-surveyed programs and does not mean fewer services are actually offered, it means fewer were self-reported to SAMHSA. Call the facility directly to confirm services not shown here.
