OCHN Office of Recipient Rights
In compliance with the Michigan Mental Health Code, the Office of Recipient Rights (ORR) advocates for people who receive mental health services and for applicants, by offering recipient rights protection. The ORR meets these requirements through prevention, such as training and monitoring and through complaint resolution. This process may include: problems of abuse and neglect, confidentiality, dignity and respect, person centered planning, or other rights violations.
