Michigan recorded 9 behavioral health provider deactivations in this week’s NPI registry update, representing 6% of the national total. All were individuals: the registry lists 9 individual providers and 0 organizations. The records cover the week of Aug. 10 through Aug. 16, 2026. NPI deactivation is an administrative status change and does not by itself establish that a provider has stopped practicing or faced a licensing action.
Credentials and Cities
Clinical Social Worker was the most common retired taxonomy, with 4 records, or 44% of Michigan’s total. RBT accounted for 3 records, or 33%. Specialist and Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Counselor each accounted for 1 record, or 11%. The credential mix therefore centers on clinical social work and registered behavior technician records, while also including individual specialist and substance use counseling designations.
Farmington Hills led the city breakdown with 4 deactivations. Dearborn, Alma, West Bloomfield and Rothbury each had 1. One additional record came from Southgate, bringing the city-level records to the state total. The Farmington Hills cluster is the only repeated city concentration in the update; the remaining records were distributed across five other Michigan cities. That pattern describes where the registry records were located, but does not by itself measure local workforce losses, service capacity or changes in patient access.
Registry Context
The week’s Michigan data reflects administrative NPI activity among behavioral health providers and should be interpreted separately from licensure, employment and ongoing practice status.
