The South Suburban Council

What The South Suburban Council does

The South Suburban Council is a nonprofit behavioral healthcare organization founded in 1967 and headquartered in East Hazel Crest, Illinois, providing a continuum of substance use disorder treatment and recovery services to residents of the Greater Chicagoland area, Northwest Indiana, and surrounding communities. Its core programs include a 28-bed residential treatment program, basic and intensive outpatient programs, a 40-bed peer-run Recovery Home, DUI services, gambling addiction treatment, and co-occurring disorder programs. Clinical delivery relies on established evidence-based curricula such as Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP), Seeking Safety, the Matrix Intensive Outpatient Treatment model, Texas Christian University Brief Interventions, Helping Women Recover, and the Dartmouth Co-Occurring Disorder Program, combined with individual and group counseling, recovery coaching, case management, and after-care planning.

The organization is accredited by the Joint Commission and licensed and Medicaid-certified as a provider under the Illinois Department of Human Services Division of Substance Use Prevention and Recovery (SUPR). Its revenue mix is concentrated in public funding: Illinois DHS grants and contracts, Illinois Department of Corrections, US Department of Probation, Cook County Court Systems, Illinois DCFS, Cook County Development Block Grant, Medicaid reimbursement (largely via Managed Care Organizations), and United Way Metro Chicago and United Way Will County. Smaller revenue streams include Recovery Home weekly client co-pays, individual donations, in-kind gifts, and event sponsorships through AmazonSmile and Walgreens round-up programs. The Council serves 3,000+ clients annually and operates as a 501(c)-style nonprofit governed by a Board of Directors with affiliated entities (South Suburban Foundation for fundraising and The Council Property Holding Corporation for real estate).
