Above and Beyond Family Recovery Center Snapshot
We began as one man's inspiration, which turned into an idea. We grew as our active expression of this idea took root, like a fantastic idea virus, and grew like a fierce, beautiful flower in the midst of a bleak, drug-ravaged landscape. We became an oasis to the invisible, ignored, and uninsured substance-abusive populations of Chicago. We remain a monument to the power of a selfless idea built on love and administered with deep compassionate competence.
Above and Beyond is the only outpatient treatment center, perhaps anwhere in the world, that offers a Vestibule format. This means that every client is educated on three different modalities of support groups (AA, SMART, Women (and Men) For Sobriety, and WRAP) and they themselves choose what they consider to be the best match based on where they are at in their stage of recovery. Above and Beyond Center's foundational philosophy is based on Harm Reduction which means that we accept where the client is now and then provide the education, support, and skills to help them work towards their own self-defined goals. In the short-term we support any decision that reduces harm to the client as they work towards their long-term goals, whatever they may be. For some clients this will be life-long abstinence while for others the goal might be control and management of their addictions and habits.
