Updated: Jul 3


Helping Our Communities to Recover One Person at A Time.

Our Primary Mission here at “The Denson-EL Centers for Recovery Support Services” is to Uplift our Communities with the immediate necessary resources and services for long term recovery; to Positively Affect the Behavior & Mental Health, Poverty & Underemployment, Criminal Recidivism, and Substance use Rates within our community through Education & Prevention, Treatment & Recovery, Housing & Home Ownership, Employment & Entrepreneurship, Art & STEM, Business Education, and Community Participation.

DEC Camp Legacy is a short term Primary Integrated Health Camp specializing in SUD-Cooccurring Disorders, PTSD, and Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facility. This facility is designed as a working ranch to cater to the needs of males/females United States Active-Duty Armed Forces, retired Veterans, and the underserved members of Wayne County who are dealing with drug/alcohol addiction/mental health, employment and homelessness issues.



All US Military persons, Returning Citizens, and persons Recovering from AOD, SUD and Co-occurring Disorders, returning home are at a higher risk of suicide than all other persons. Education, Behavioral and mental health treatment are essential to saving our service members and recovering persons lives. These are your neighbors, friends, co-workers, community members and they need YOU.


There can be no excuse for our US Veterans, and Mental Health Community to be suffering or homeless. People like you can help make a difference not only for those that will benefit directly from you and your support, but you will also be helping so many others that are connected to those you help.

You will help those who feel all alone, who feel helpless or hopeless, those struggling to hold on or find their place in the world again, those self-medicating with drugs or alcohol to avoid dealing with their painful realities. It took a great deal, to get where you or they are yet, it only takes one phone call to change it.
