Substance Use Recovery Support

Camp Robin’s Substance Use Recovery Support programming is built on one foundational belief: every woman deserves to be met with compassion, not judgment. We offer recovery coaching, peer mentorship, harm reduction education, and navigation support connecting African American women in Metro Detroit to licensed treatment programs, recovery networks, and community-based care — all within a framework that honors the full complexity of each woman’s story.

Why This Matters

Recovery is not a single moment. It is a long, nonlinear journey that looks different for every woman — and it is nearly impossible to walk alone. For African American women, the barriers to recovery support are compounded by stigma, a lack of culturally responsive providers, childcare, transportation, cost, and systems that have historically criminalized rather than supported Black women in crisis. Camp Robin exists to fill those gaps with dignity.

What We Offer

• Recovery Coaching: One-on-one coaching from trained recovery coaches who help women set goals, navigate obstacles, build accountability structures, and stay connected to their own reasons for healing.
• Peer Mentorship: Connection to peer mentors who are themselves in sustained recovery — women who can offer lived-experience wisdom, encouragement, and the kind of understanding that no textbook can provide.
• Harm Reduction Education: Non-judgmental, evidence-informed education on harm reduction strategies for women who are in active use or exploring their relationship with substances — meeting women wherever they are on their journey.
• Treatment Navigation: Support identifying and accessing licensed treatment programs, including detox, residential care, outpatient programs, and medication-assisted treatment options in and around Metro Detroit.
• Community Recovery Networks: Connection to women-centered recovery circles, community meetings, and peer support groups where African American women can find belonging and long-term accountability.

Who This Is For

This programming is for African American women who are in active use, in early recovery, or anywhere on the continuum in between. You do not need to be ready to stop. You do not need to have hit ‘rock bottom.’ You just need to be willing to talk to someone who will not shame you for where you are.
