It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved colleague and friend, Leon Wilkerson, after a courageous battle with cancer. Leon's journey with Elmhurst Home, Inc. began in the early 80s as a consultant and then in 2003 he joined our family as the Director of Human Resources. From the beginning, it was clear that Leon was not just an employee but an irreplaceable part of our family.
Leon's professional qualifications were impressive, but it was his personal qualities that truly endeared him to us. His unwavering dedication, professionalism, and unparalleled work ethic were evident in every decision he made, every challenge he embraced, and every person he helped. He had a rare ability to connect with people on a deeply personal level, offering guidance, support, and compassion with a kind smile and a listening ear.
Beyond his professional achievements, Leon was a beacon of light in our community. He approached life with a quiet strength and grace that inspired all who knew him. His warmth, kindness, and integrity touched the lives of so many, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts.
Leon was more than a colleague; he was a friend, a mentor, and a confidant. His presence brought a sense of comfort and stability to all of us at Elmhurst Home, Inc. The loss we feel is immense, and we struggle to find words that can adequately express the depth of our sorrow.
As we remember Leon, we are reminded of the countless ways he enriched our lives and the wider community. His legacy will live on in the memories we cherish, the lives he touched, and the lessons he imparted. We will forever hold him in our hearts and strive to honor his memory by embodying the values he so effortlessly exemplified.
To Leon's family, we extend our deepest sympathies. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this challenging time. Leon was family to us, and we share in your grief as we honor the remarkable man he was.
Rest in peace, dear Leon. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Your spirit will continue to guide us, and your memory will forever be a part of the Elmhurst Home, Inc. family.

The Elmhurst Home and Naomi's Nest Residential and Outpatient Programs are designed to serve males and females, at separate facilities, with drug, alcohol, and dual diagnosis-related issues.
Residential treatment is provided in a safe, supportive home-like environment where residents can begin to learn the new skills necessary for achieving long-lasting recovery and begin to deal with any secondary psychological issues. The intensive, structured program is filled with daily activities that help the resident to recognize their own denial systems, come to terms with their problems, and begin to make the positive choices that will lead them to a healthy and productive life.
We also maintain staff to ensure that our highly certified addiction treatment team can deliver the highest level of care to residents.
A drug or alcohol addiction is a very serious condition, as are mental health disorders, and an individual struggling with addiction and/or mental health issues should get help as soon as possible at a treatment center.
A severe addiction to certain substances, such as heroin and oxycodone, is typically best treated in an inpatient residential program to help manage detoxification and withdrawal. However, a mild substance abuse problem caught in the early phases can often be successfully treated in an outpatient program.
Our caring and qualified staff will assist you or your loved one throughout the entire recovery process. Elmhurst Home, Inc. has served the Detroit community for over 50 years. Let our long-term treatment centers for addiction help you today.
“The mission of Elmhurst Home, Inc. is to provide person-centered, stage-matched, evidence-based, and Recovery Orientated Systems of Care for persons with substance use disorders ad mental health issues.
EHI specializes in residential treatment, outpatient, prevention services, recovery housing, and recovery services for persons with a substance use disorder including persons with co-occurring disorders.
Our primary goal is to assist each person served in achieving and maintaining recovery and improving every aspect of their quality of life.”
