The City of River Rouge was named after the river of the same name that flows along the city’s northern border and empties into the Detroit River. Founded in 1899, it became a booming metropolis in 1950 until the movement of jobs offshore, which caused a loss of jobs in the area. However, the town is still strong and has that small-time atmosphere that everyone there enjoys.

In and around River Rouge, you can find some of the best health care, which includes excellent mental health care professionals who are there to help with any kind of mental health issue. If you have any concerns, contact one of the River Rouge counselors today.
