Healthy Start Recovery Home
The Healthy Start Recovery Home has two locations:
- Healthy Start East, located at LSSI Addiction Treatment Center – Kenmore in Chicago
- Healthy Start West, located at LSSI Addiction Treatment Center – Elgin
Healthy Start is a supportive environment that offers housing, peer support, case management, and on-site outpatient treatment. Residents have the opportunity to practice what they have learned in the treatment groups. Ultimately, the program prepares residents for sober living in the community.
House Managers are peers who have traveled the journey of recovery and who have found success. They provide support and mentorship to residents as they navigate their own recovery. In addition, residents work with their Case Manager to create individual plans for the next step in community living. Residents may attend off-site classes or jobs but return to the home for groups and counseling.
