About Families and Adolescents in Recovery – FAIR Counseling – Schaumburg
Families and Adolescents in Recovery – FAIR Counseling, located in Schaumburg, Illinois, helps adolescents and young adults struggling with substance use. They offer therapy that’s both individual and family based. The clinic is conveniently based in Schaumburg, a suburban area with easy access for those in the northwest suburbs of Chicago.

The therapists work closely with clients to get to the heart of what’s influencing their substance use.

The sessions are action oriented, offering tools that clients can use in their daily lives.
Overcoming substance abuse isn’t a simple fix—addiction runs deep, shaped by a mix of emotional, mental and environmental factors. At FAIR the counselors take a comprehensive, evidence based approach to tackle addiction from all angles. They work closely with clients to understand what’s really behind the substance use and then focus on replacing old, unhealthy ways of coping with more effective, sustainable strategies.
While substance addictions are more commonly discussed, behavioral addictions—like gambling, gaming, excessive internet use or even work—can be just as damaging. People caught in these patterns often feel out of control and unable to stop even when they want to. The counselors here use cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients understand the thoughts and feelings that drive these types of addictive behaviors.
