About A Safe Haven

Since 1994 the center has provided facilities and services that have helped people with their recovery from substance abuse, housing challenges and economic problems. If you’re ready to overcome your drug or alcohol addiction and are looking for where to turn, it might be worth considering this center.

You will be welcomed by a multifaceted team of professionals who know how to identify complex or individual root causes of addiction. Once you identify these causes you have a better chance of working toward long term recovery. It’s also worth noting that the center offers a person centered approach. This means you can foster opportunities and learn coping skills and relapse prevention based on your needs.

Concerning individualized case management, you will get assigned an individualized case manager who can help you with far more than simply overcoming substance abuse. They can also offer referrals to services you might need for your journey and guide you toward educational resources alongside mental health services and workforce development.

Supportive housing is also offered and has proven to be a big help for many past patients. This housing can help you enjoy a stable and productive environment. You can access counseling, health services, addiction recovery meetings and job training.

Called this place shortly after 8:30am on 11/18/2025 to make a food donation and was hung up on 3 times by some woman answering the phones. When I called back, this person claimed she “didn’t really know” and suggested I call back later. This place claims to help veterans and the homeless in the area, but based on this interaction and another review where a bunch of used clothes were turned away, it’s places like these that make it harder, not easier for people in need to receive what they need. If you have items that this place won’t take, consider the fridge and donation cabinet a few steps to the East of the Christy Webber Garden Center at 2833 W Chicago where items are always accepted 24/7.

It looks like one of the best shelters ever it does. But everything that glitters AINT GOLD. There is only one case manager at the moment and her name is tameisha and she does not help everyone even when its an emergency and i get it because its just her on weekdays helping people but sometimes i catch her and find her in the lunchroom just socializing when i told her many times the people next door lock our side of the bathroom she never unlocks it for us…another issue is that my toddler wasnt eating any of the food they make so i tried to bring food she eats nothing frozen of course just baby foods or baby snacks they wouldnt allow so she would starve most if the time. And they dont expect you to make mistakes and be human like of course someone is going to find you attractive…even the staffs flirt with eachother, the staffs flirt with the residents. But what i hated the most is that the police is there everyday making a scene and the case manager tameisha went against my religion when she was doen talking me like i was worthless she told me i had a weak mind and i told her god is going to get me through this she told me no god is not and mentioned mental health classes to me…and didnt expect me to be pissed off by that. I been harrassed by many of the female staffs!

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

A Safe Haven works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in Illinois is designed to help people recover from addiction to a number of substances. The length of each program and its intensity tend to vary, and the plan of care is based on your individual needs.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
