Alexian Brothers - Bonaventure House

Located in Chicago, Illinois, Bonaventure House is a specialist housing program run by the Ascension Illinois Health Housing and Health Alliance that is committed to helping people in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. This institution offers men and women both permanent and transitional living options, providing a controlled, encouraging atmosphere as they return to their communities. Clients from all backgrounds are welcome in the program, regardless of their sexual orientation, financial level, gender, color, or ethnicity. 
 
In order to provide a secure and sober atmosphere that is essential for recovery, Bonaventure House, a residential drug rehabilitation center, is constructed with contemporary, homey features. In addition to dietary services and private rooms, clients get round-the-clock personnel care. One of the main components of the healing process is the feeling of community that is created among the inhabitants, which enables people to assist one another via common experiences.
 
Clients must fulfill certain requirements in order to be eligible for accommodation at Bonaventure House. These requirements may include being homeless or at danger of homelessness, having a mental health diagnosis, or being in active recovery from addiction with at least 45 days of sobriety. Acceptance into the program is discretionary, however, and recommendations from inpatient treatment centers that require participants to commit to staying sober for 28 days are also taken into account. 
 
Clients are partnered with an on-site case manager throughout their stay, and the two of them collaborate closely to create a customized treatment and stay plan. Occupational therapy, individual and group counseling, and faith-based programs are all possible components of an all-inclusive regimen. Clients may also pursue educational possibilities that correspond with their interests and long-term objectives at the learning center. 
 
Because of Bonaventure House's convenient location in the heart of Chicago, it is simple to go to jobs, public transit, healthcare facilities, and other support services. The Bonaventure House team is dedicated to assisting clients in making connections with the resources they need to support their path toward recovery. 
 
Given that exiting a treatment program or transitional housing presents some problems, Bonaventure House provides a wide range of aftercare services. In order to make sure that clients continue to receive the support they require as they reintegrate into their communities, these services include the creation of a personalized transition plan that is focused on both short- and long-term goals, frequent check-ins, and emergency assistance for utility bills for up to one year after program completion.
