Partnerships

For the majority of residents, admission to Interfaith House is their first opportunity to access a broad range of critical resources. Interfaith House has over 100 linkages with organizations in our community that support our clients recovery each step of the way.

Health Services Collaborative
We have forged partnerships with neighboring agencies to provide the best care possible, including:

We also partner with the Illinois Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse and other area providers to develop an innovative approach to serve those struggling with substance abuse issues.
