The facility runs intensive outpatient and outpatient care. Buprenorphine, methadone or naltrexone can be prescribed alongside therapy. Addiction and mental health care run alongside each other here. Telehealth appointments are available, which matters where the drive is long. Trauma-specific treatment is available here.

Safer Foundation – Chicago Reviews and Ratings
A review of Safer Foundation does not need to be long. If you were a patient or a family member, a few plain sentences on what went well, and what you wish you had known beforehand, will help the next reader.
They wasted my time , and was very unprofessional about especially the young man at the desk . I knew it would be some mess when the lady called me back and didn’t remember who she was talking to schedule me to come in… the following day to see me at the door and whisper in the man’s ear to say she didn’t schedule me and don’t know me so I wouldn’t waste my time to go there I traveled a long way . It was how they played it telling me I didn’t make a appointment because I came late instead of them having good customer service they acted like I don’t know what I’m talking about the lady never gave me her name to begin with but it’s all good I’ll go somewhere else for the CTA program some of them think because you striving for better they will treat you like nothing .that man at the desk saying I dont see you in the system you never asked me my name like what ?! I wouldn’t refer my Dog
The worst experience ever, no programs for felons. Kept getting the run- around from staff. Then gave me resources in Hammond,IN. I ended-up finding a job myself. I would not recommend Safer foundation.
I went to Safer foundation when they were located downtown off clinton I graduated with my GED and also got me enrolled into Coyne American for HVAC. Glad to see they are still changing lives. Best time I ever had the… guy took us to baseball games and use to give us 5 bucks a day for lunch and bus fare back an forth. I truly respect them and if they ever need anything I am there. EDWARD CICHELLI CLASS OF 2002
This program was referred to me by my probation officer to help find a job. I was told I had to complete a training in order to get a job. I completed the program and received an award letter of completion and was told… to complete a drug test in order to proceed. 3 months later I’m still waiting for the test results to come back and whenever I follow up with the results no one is ever available to speak with me. Honestly this place was a waste of time all together! Do not recommend coming here for any help.
They're always there to help when you need them.
S.F. has done wonderful work for decades. People with lived experiences are doing excellent work and are great advocates. Congressman Danny Davis is also a praiseworthy advocate and supporter.
It was great.

This is a place you can really get some help from if you want a job if you want or need any mental health treatment if you need food clothes any personal supplies they'll help you the place is really wonderful and the… staff is impeccable
