How do I talk to someone about moving into the Residence?
Call Hazelden Chicago at (312) 943-3534 and to schedule an appointment for a pre-entry placement.

How much does the Residence cost?
$47 per day or about $1,410 per month. The first and last month's payment is due at the time of moving in.

Is Financial Aid available?
Yes. A Financial Aid application must be completed. Typically, the amount of aid available would be up to one half a month's rent that would be applied to the last month's rent.

What is the expected length of stay?
A six (6) month length of stay is what is typically expected. A three (3) month length of stay is required of all residents. Financial Aid cannot be given to anyone who stays less than six (6) months.

What happens if the resident relapses?
The resident can NOT continue to stay in the Residence after a relapse. If another Hazelden level of care is appropriate, the resident can be transferred, but continuing to stay in the Residence is NOT an option.

Can the resident return to the Residence after recovery is re-stabilized?
Each person's circumstance will be considered individually; however, no one will be re-admitted without a minimum of thirty (30) days of abstinence.

How will medications be handled in the Residence?
Each resident will be given a personal lockbox where medications and personal valuables will be stored. Each resident is responsible for storage, administration, and notification of staff of all medications being taken including over-the-counter and herbals.

The evening meal can be ordered-in or prepared in microwaves provided in the dining room. Refrigerator and personal cupboard storage space is available for each resident. One community meal is provided each week at which all residents are expected to attend.

What kind of treatment is provided?
The Sober Residence is NOT treatment. Each resident will be assigned a Coach. The resident will meet with the Coach weekly the first month and then once a month thereafter. Additional coaching sessions are available for an additional charge.
