ABOUT THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE, INC (HRDI)
For over four decades, the Human Resources Development Institute (HRDI) has been a leading provider of community-based mental and behavioral health care in Chicago, Illinois. Our agency offers a range of residential and outpatient programs to children, adolescents, and adults suffering from addiction and/or mental health disorders. We also provide Medication-Assisted Therapy to individuals dependent on opiates and narcotics at various locations throughout the city.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
The HRDI Division for Addiction Treatment has multiple facilities in Chicago, each specializing in different areas. Our Southwest Central location offers methadone maintenance and outpatient counseling services for individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. We also have two additional locations at 340 E. 51st Street and 8000 S. Racine Ave. that provide medication-assisted treatment.
Near West Professional Services is a residential facility catering to adult males, including court-referred clients. Our Harriet Tubman residence offers around-the-clock, supervised care for pregnant and non-pregnant women, allowing them to bring their dependent children (ages four and younger) with them. In a separate location, Essence House provides all-female residential treatment for dual diagnosis.
In our Child and Adolescent Outpatient Services program, we offer criminal justice and child protection services, as well as school-based services. Children between the ages of 12 and 17 can receive substance abuse treatment, and our team of teachers, counselors, and social workers work together to improve academic performance. We also have a facility dedicated to treating children between the ages of three and 14 with various mental health disorders through individual, group, and family therapy.
In addition to our treatment programs, HRDI provides comprehensive health and prevention resources, including HIV testing and problem gambling treatment and education for adults.
