Above and Beyond Family Recovery Ctr

Above and Beyond Family Recovery Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides free outpatient addiction treatment in Chicago, with a focus on the city's underserved communities, particularly on the West Side. The organization states that no one is ever turned away due to an inability to pay, and it offers no-cost walk-in treatment so that support is available where and when it is needed. Its stated mission is to provide dignified, evidence-based care to people managing addiction alongside homelessness and unemployment. The stated values are compassion, competence, and healing together.

The center serves adults of all communities and backgrounds, with particular focus on people facing addiction, homelessness, or unemployment, justice-involved clients seeking a second chance, and people with no insurance, limited resources, or multiple prior recovery attempts. The approach is described as prioritizing self-determination, autonomy, and dignity, with clients shaping their own recovery plans with guidance from staff.

Programs listed include sober support, intensive outpatient programming, outpatient programming, early intervention, housing and employment services, CRSS peer support, a program called Recovery on Wheels, and a program called Beyond Medicine. Clinical services described include trauma-informed counseling delivered through individual and group therapy focused on healing from trauma, and multiple sober support pathways including 12-step, SMART Recovery, and mindfulness-based therapy. The organization describes a holistic model in which addiction is addressed alongside housing, employment, medical care, food security, and nutrition, with these supports integrated into every treatment plan. Client reviews mention working with a primary counselor and with facilitators and instructors, and reference an alumni community.
