Welcome to New Beginnings Recovery Homes Inc. (NBRHI)

Our mission is to provide a “holistic continuum of care” to the socially liable regardless of race, color, creed, national origin or sexual orientation. This concept is rooted in the fact that ex-offenders are socially liable and maybe HIV+, hardcore unemployed, homeless, chemically dependent and/or moderately mentally challenged. Some within this group are sex offenders. This group requires a wide range of social, supportive and case management services. Negative conditions have developed over time and to such an extent that ex-offenders have little or no control over their lives. Until and unless these issues are resolved, this population will continue to self-destruct.

NB is a minority 501(c) 3 tax-exempt agency. Using a combination of social, supportive and case management services, we have been able to help ex-offenders become positive, constructive and driven persons. We have employed a combination of psych medication, a controlled living environment and psychiatric group therapy (behavior modification) to help those that are mentally ill. We also utilize the Earnfare Program as a means of helping clients who are unable to pay their residency fee.

We are applying to the Illinois Department of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse (DASA) for a license to help those that are hopelessly addicted to a controlled substance. We will utilized drug treatment and counseling along with a strict regimen of structured, restrictive, residential living in a clean and sober living environment and help the chemically dependent persons to achieve what they thought they could not achieve. We believe in a “hand-up” as opposed to a “hand-out.” We encourage “self-reliance.”

Unlike other agencies, our clients are not forced to move, after a preset period-of-time. Those who choose to remain are welcome and may live in our permanent residences for as long as they like. We do not discriminate.
