Rodney in Recovery

Above and Beyond Family Recovery Center provides FREE counseling service to the most under-served substance abusing populations in Chicagoland. We are an outpatient, "walk-in", behavioral addiction treatment center whose clients come with companion problems like mental illness, homelessness, unemployment, and previous criminal convictions. Most of them do not know why they exist and have horrid, untrue self-images which we do our best to dispel by helping them uncover their purpose and meaning in life, stop hating on themselves, and begin trying to get rid of their addictions so they can rejoin humanity. They all want this outcome, but have never had the tools that we put into their brain's repertoire.

We have 22+ process groups weekly, with such innovative topics as: Improv Therapy, Yoga, Acupuncture, Sobriety for Seniors, REBT, Rage Reduction, Uncovering Purpose and Meaning, Learning to Love Yourself, Trauma, EFT, and many many more. All of these have therapeutic roots in addiction treatment and we also help find housing and employment.

We are looking for humans with hearts, who are interested in giving up their free time (whenever that is) to sit with our clients as they share the stories about their recovery journey. These stories are uploaded to our website for potential clients who are not sure if they are ready to take their first step in recovery! We invite you to learn more about this position from those who are currently in the position. They can share their stories and experience with you.

Please visit our website at anb.today and visit us to figure out if you would be able to give your experience to help those who are invisible to everyone but us!
