Description

Our non-profit agency, established in 1974, provides outpatient and extended residential care for individuals aged 18+ who are struggling with substance use and gambling disorders.  We also provide counseling for their families and loved ones. Thanks to the wonders of technology and telehealth, we've been able to expand our outpatient gambling program to provide treatment all over the state of Illinois. Additionally, we offer educational and outpatient services for youths aged 13-17.

Through our Homeless Veterans program in conjunction with the local VA, we provide temporary housing for Veterans in need at no cost to them, regardless of whether they struggle with addiction. Many of our clients - not just Veterans - come to us from homelessness, and we aim to provide safe and dignified housing for them to heal, grow, and rebuild their lives.

With that said: our annual Rebuilders Celebration Dinner is approaching, and we'd love your support! Each year we convene to celebrate recovery and to honor a community member with our "Rebuilder of the Year" award. We are anticipating 250-350 people at this gala, which includes a silent auction. The Rebuilders Celebration is our main fundraiser of the year, and we are actively seeking in-kind donations for the silent auction (as well as sponsorships!) to raise funding to continue providing our life-changing treatment.
