“Trinity Health Michigan is expanding the successful peer recovery coach program Growth Works to Trinity Health Ann Arbor. This builds on the successful, multi-year partnership that has benefited patients with substance use disorders at Trinity Health Livonia. The program provides emergency response support, connecting patients treated in the emergency department and the inpatient behavioral health unit with dedicated peer recovery coaches to address the root causes of substance use.
The Growth Works program bridges a critical service gap, ensuring individuals experiencing a substance use crisis have immediate access to support when they need it most. Growth Works, with its long-standing commitment to assisting youth and adults struggling with substance use, deployed nine experienced peer recovery coaches to Trinity Health Ann Arbor.
‘This expansion marks a significant step forward in providing accessible and timely care for individuals in need, who are struggling with substance use, and who could benefit from those who have battled addiction themselves,” said Nick Griswold, GrowthWorks CEO. “We look forward to the opportunity we have to break the cycle and help individuals and families in Washtenaw County and surrounding communities.’ “
