How to Address Your Letter
Shawono Center is no longer a current Michigan state juvenile treatment placement.
MDHHS announced in January 2025 that services and male youth would transfer from Shawono Center in Grayling to the new Michigan Youth Treatment Center in Macomb County. State FY2025-26 budget documents removed Shawono funding to reflect closure.
Do not use this old Shawono record as a current youth mailing destination. Verify the youth's current placement. For current state-operated male secure treatment, check Michigan Youth Treatment Center in Mt. Clemens.
