Detroit Recovery Project

Without hesitation, I reached out for emergency shelter in Detroit, hoping to find some basic support. Unfortunately, my experience fell far short of expectations. The staff I encountered seemed unhelpful, and I left feeling frustrated and unsupported. I was really in need of essentials like food, pillows, and blankets, but they just weren't provided. It left me feeling like I was navigating my situation alone, which isn't what I had hoped for. I truly believe that enhancing the basic offerings could significantly improve the experience for others in similar need.

I truly enjoyed some aspects of my visit to the Detroit Recovery Project, but I was left feeling quite frustrated overall. While the services they offer for mental health support are undoubtedly valuable, my experience with scheduling felt disorganized and left a lot to be desired. I had anticipated a smoother process, especially when seeking help on my recovery journey. The staff seemed overwhelmed, which unfortunately made it hard to feel prioritized for my health needs. I really hope they can work on their scheduling efficiency because their mission is important and I believe they can do better.

I never expected my experience at the Detroit Recovery Project to turn out this way. I was looking for a safe living environment but felt frustrated by the lack of privacy in the room I rented. It was disappointing that I often had staff entering without notice, which really made me uncomfortable. I think they could improve by giving a 24-hour heads-up before entering. On the plus side, I did appreciate the resources they offer for mental health and substance abuse—such a great initiative for the community. But my living situation just didn't meet my expectations.
