About Foundations Chicago LLC
Chicago Treatment and Counseling Centers offers outpatient and intensive outpatient substance abuse treatment at its South Side Chicago location, specializing in opioid and alcohol addiction. As a CARF-accredited, certified Opioid Treatment Program, the center provides counseling and medication management for adults across Chicago and surrounding Cook County communities.
Chicago Treatment and Counseling Centers is a CARF-accredited substance use treatment facility located at 3520 South Ashland Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. Serving the South Side and surrounding communities — including Cicero, Berwyn, Evanston, Melrose Park, and Chicago Heights — the center focuses on outpatient addiction treatment for people working through opioid and alcohol addiction while maintaining their daily lives. Its certification as an Opioid Treatment Program distinguishes it as a specialized recovery resource within the broader Chicago metro area.
The center offers two primary levels of outpatient care: a standard Outpatient Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). These structured formats allow people in recovery to engage with treatment regularly without requiring residential placement, making them well-suited for individuals transitioning from higher levels of care or building long-term recovery while staying connected to family, work, and community. Both tracks are available Monday through Saturday, with morning hours that accommodate working adults.
At the core of the center's approach are counseling and medication management — tools that address both the behavioral and physiological dimensions of opioid and alcohol addiction. As a certified Opioid Treatment Program, Chicago Treatment and Counseling Centers is authorized and equipped to deliver medication-assisted treatment within the framework of ongoing outpatient recovery support. Services are available in English, and the facility accepts Medicaid as well as self-pay and cash arrangements.
Chicago Treatment and Counseling Centers serves adults facing opioid addiction, heroin addiction, and alcohol addiction across a broad service area that spans Chicago and multiple Cook County municipalities. For individuals and families seeking a long-term recovery partner rooted in the community — not a short-term stopgap — the center's combination of CARF accreditation, OTP certification, and accessible outpatient programming makes it a meaningful option in the Chicago substance abuse treatment landscape.

Opioid Treatment Program & Medication Management
Chicago Treatment and Counseling Centers holds certification as an Opioid Treatment Program, a designation that reflects a specific authorization to provide medication management as part of opioid addiction treatment.
