Who We Are

Detroit Recovery Project Incorporated (DRP) is a beacon of hope and transformation for communities grappling with drug and alcohol addiction, as well as other marginalized groups. We are committed to helping individuals overcome obstacles to a healthy, productive, and drug-free life. Founded through a collaboration between the City of Detroit Bureau of Substance Prevention, Treatment and Recovery, and the Partnership for a Drug-Free Detroit, DRP has been a nonprofit entity since 2005. Leveraging partnerships at various governmental levels, we offer a wide array of substance abuse prevention, treatment, and recovery services to those exiting treatment and resources to those in long-term recovery.
