The South Suburban Council on Alcoholism and Substance
Abuse has been providing affordable and effective chemical dependency
treatment and rehabilitation to residents of the greater Chicago Southland community for over
thirty years.
essing chemical dependency treatment can be one of the most intimidating
actions a person can take. In order to make this first step towards a
lifelong recovery less overwhelming, The Council's admittance process has been
streamlined to allow all prospective patients and referral agencies with
admittance inquiries to contact a single department.
The Central Intake staff conducts diagnostic assessments to determine the nature
and extent of an individual's addictions. When treatment needs are
determined, the appropriate program placements are made.
In those instances when The Council's services are not deemed appropriate for an
individual, staff refers those people to agencies that can best offer them
assistance.
The Mission of Suburban Council on Alcoholism and Substance Abuse is to deliver a continuum of treatment and recovery support services to residents of the greater Chicago Southland area and surrounding communities.
The
Council does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, religion or
national origin.
The
Council is handicap accessible and gives pregnant women and injecting
drug users priority to treatment services.
The
Council does not deny access to service because of a proven inability to
pay.
