Yana House

Yana House structures its addiction treatment around two primary levels of care: residential treatment and outpatient programming. The residential treatment component provides men with 24-hour support in a structured sober living environment, while the outpatient program offers flexibility for those transitioning back to independent living or stepping down from residential care.

Both programs incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as the foundation for addressing alcohol addiction, drug addiction, and substance abuse. This therapeutic method helps clients identify negative thought patterns and develop practical coping strategies for managing cravings and triggers in real-world situations.

The recovery center specializes in serving men who experience trauma and PTSD alongside their substance abuse challenges. This dual focus recognizes that many men in early recovery have underlying trauma that requires specialized attention to prevent relapse and build lasting sobriety.

Executive Director Maurice Lindsey oversees programming that addresses these co-occurring conditions through structured therapeutic interventions. The center's approach helps men understand connections between their trauma experiences and substance use patterns while developing healthier coping mechanisms.

Yana House integrates 12-step programming throughout its residential and outpatient treatment phases, connecting clients to Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and other recovery fellowships in the Chicago area. This integration helps men build peer support networks that extend beyond their time at the facility.

The center's aftercare support focuses on maintaining these 12-step connections as clients transition to independent living. Personal recovery plans developed during treatment include specific strategies for continuing involvement in Chicago's recovery community through regular meeting attendance and sponsorship relationships.

Payment flexibility makes Yana House accessible to men across different economic circumstances through self-pay options, sliding scale fees based on income, and financial assistance programs. The center works with clients to identify payment solutions that don't create barriers to accessing needed addiction treatment.

Located in Cook County, Yana House serves the Greater Chicago area with operating hours Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 6 PM, Saturday from 9 AM to 2 PM. This schedule accommodates both residential clients and outpatient program participants who need flexible access to recovery services.
