Peer Support & Meetings

  • Recovery coaching and case management services for individuals and families can take place in-person or virtually. To request support, please call 844-584-5254 x812.
  • Transportation services have been a huge need across Chicagoland. We can now offer to transport participants in Lake, Suburban Cook, McHenry, and DuPage counties to a recovery-oriented location (doctor’s office visit, counseling appointment, probation or parole meeting, etc.). To request a ride, please call 844-584-5254 x812.
  • Peer support group meetings will continue virtually for grief, and individual and family recovery groups. Please see our meeting list below for the most recent updates. For questions, reach out to Leslie Flores at [email protected] | call or text : 224 297 4393
Some other available online recovery resources include:
SMART Participant Survey
Our clinical intern from Rutgers, Nick Fonarev, is helping us to review our meetings and ensure we are giving participants the best possible experience. If you’ve participated in any of our meetings, we invite you to take this survey.
