About New Hope Recovery Center – Chicago
New Hope Recovery Center is an alcohol and drug rehab facility in Chicago, Illinois, that treats adult men and women aged 18 and older. They offer residential, outpatient and aftercare addiction treatment. They also partner with the nearby Lincoln Park Hospital to provide medically supervised detox. Their multidisciplinary staff consists of doctors, addiction counselors, licensed clinical social workers, a family therapist and a psychiatrist who provide comprehensive care that attends to clients’ physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual and social needs.
One of New Hope Recovery’s outstanding features is their specialized program New Hope With Pride that caters specifically to LGBTQIA+ individuals. This program addresses the various gender and sexuality challenges that can factor into substance use and dependence. This facility aims to provide an inclusive, welcoming environment where everyone feels safe and understood.
Many drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs are affiliated with particular religious orders or belief systems. New Hope Recovery Center is nonreligious, but like institutions such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous they emphasize spirituality in their treatment philosophy and protocol. Research has repeatedly shown that spiritual practices which can include meditation and mindfulness, contemplative reading or worship services can be highly beneficial for people with addiction. These practices can cultivate accountability, purpose, hope, gratitude, compassion and resilience.
Another of New Hope Recovery Center’s notable features is their family programming. Addiction frequently impacts loved ones as much as the person who is experiencing addiction, and all members of the family may need support to recuperate and repair relationships. Family therapy and support groups can help those whose loved ones struggle with substance use to better understand the disease and heal their wounds. This is crucial for people with substance use disorder since having a strong support network is vital for sustainable recovery.
