The Center for Disease Control estimates that every year more than 100 people die and more than 6,700 people visit the emergency room for treatment due to drug use.
That's 6,700 families - with moms, dads, and kids - disrupted by the effects of addiction.
The Salvation Army provides treatment and rehabilitation for men and women battling substance abuse.
"If I hadn't landed here with The Salvation Army, I don't know what would have happened to me."
The Salvation Army's substance abuse treatment programs give clients the gift of time to address their addictions and plan for a life of sobriety.

At this time, our residential treatment program is for men 18 years and older. However, women and teens are able to receive outpatient treatment. If women and teens desire inpatient treatment, we are able to make referrals for appropriate services.
Please call the Intake Department at 312-667-2200 Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. We will talk about your addiction and give you an appointment for a full assessment.

Once clients complete treatment, they are often reunited with their families and return to their communities as contributing members of society.
