Located on the Southside of Chicago, Southside Center of Hope provides a 12-step, evidence-based residential recovery program at no cost. Since our founding in 1983, we have helped more than 4,000 women gain freedom from addiction. We believe that addiction is a disease, recovery is a lifelong process and the solution to addiction problems lies in connecting to one’s higher power. We provide women with a long-term recovery program in a safe, structured, healthy environment. Offering a secure and comfortable community setting, Southside Center of Hope allows women to address issues from a “whole-person” perspective related to their addiction. In addition, by serving women only, our residents strengthen one another while gaining the tools for transformational healing.
