Growth Works - Romulus

Located on Wayne Road inside the 34th District Courthouse, Growth Works provides nonprofit youth assistance and substance use treatment for residents of Romulus and nearby communities. They help youth facing at-risk behavior, justice-system risk, substance use disorder (SUD), and co-occurring mental health, trauma, or criminal behavior concerns. Services include Youth Assistance Program diversion groups, in-school sessions when needed, assessments, intensive outpatient (IOP) drug treatment, and outpatient drug treatment.

Strengthen Recovery at Home

Through a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach, Growth Works in Romulus helps youth stabilize emotions, build coping skills, and create a home life that encourages recovery. After assessment, eligible youth may enter IOP treatment, then move into adolescent outpatient groups. Outpatient treatment also helps youth identify triggers, express feelings safely, understand family roles, build healthy communication, and develop recovery-based habits.

Through its partnership with the City of Romulus and its courthouse-based office, Growth Works connects young people and families to practical help close to home.
