Above and Beyond Family Recovery Center

What Above and Beyond Family Recovery Center does

Above and Beyond Family Recovery Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2015 and headquartered at 2942 W Lake St, Chicago, IL, providing free outpatient addiction treatment to Chicago's West Side communities. Its core clinical offering combines intensive outpatient programming, outpatient programming, early intervention, sober support, and trauma-informed counseling delivered through multiple pathways including 12-step, SMART Recovery, and mindfulness-based modalities. The clinical layer is integrated with wraparound support services — housing and employment assistance, CRSS peer support, Recovery on Wheels mobile outreach, medical services, a food pantry, an alumni program, and an Augmented Case Management (ACM) program — all delivered on a no-barrier, walk-in basis with no insurance or fee requirement.

The center serves primarily individuals facing addiction, homelessness, and unemployment on Chicago's West Side, including justice-involved clients and those with no insurance or limited resources. Its go-to-market is community-led: walk-in access at the single Chicago facility, mobile outreach via the ROW van, referrals from hospitals, the justice system, and homeless services, and word-of-mouth from a 1,857-strong alumni network. Distribution is direct and physical, not platform-mediated.

Revenue is not generated from patients. The nonprofit funds operations through individual donations and monthly giving, corporate sponsorships and grants (MacArthur Foundation, Wintrust Bank, ComEd, Conagra, Union Pacific, Ropes & Gray, Lou Malnati's, Portillo's, Novak Construction, Pete's Market, Keystone, Mirata), and legacy giving. Reported impact metrics include 10,000+ patients enrolled over 10 years, 140+ monthly walk-ins, 1,857+ graduates, 130+ clients housed, 6,000+ hours of individual counseling, and 41,759+ hours of group therapy. The organization is led by co-founder Bryan Cressey (also co-founder of healthcare-focused private investment firm Cressey & Company) and CEO Phil Warren.
