Thresholds provides healthcare, housing, and hope for thousands of persons with mental health and substance use conditions in Illinois each year. Through care, employment, advocacy, and housing, Thresholds assists and inspires people to reclaim their lives.
Thresholds is one of the oldest and largest providers of recovery services for persons with mental health and substance use conditions in Illinois. We offer 30 innovative programs at more than 75 locations throughout Chicago, the adjacent suburbs, and four surrounding counties. Services include assertive outreach, case management, housing, employment, education, psychiatry, primary care, substance use treatment, and research.
Thresholds’ staff meets people where they are – out in the community. Offering services in a community-based setting makes them more accessible and effective and lessens the social exclusion that is often present in the lives of persons living with mental illnesses and substance use conditions. This allows our staff and clients to work on skills, clinical interventions, and recovery that allows them to live independent lives in their own neighborhoods
Our clients are all unique – coming from vastly different backgrounds and arriving with different needs, talents, and hopes. Each client works with our staff to set their own specific short-term goals and objectives, based on their needs, desires, and level of self-sufficiency. Recovery from mental illnesses and substance use is possible. Recovery is a process of finding and living a satisfying and meaningful life, as one defines it for oneself. We assist our clients as they work to reclaim a positive sense of self, and discover their own potential, gifts, and skills.

Our goals are parallel with the recovery and resiliency model Georgia desires.

We believe that healing begins with each unique individual … and their ability to prioritize themselves and their wellbeing. We offer a safe and supportive environment to guide people on a journey toward recognizing their own inner strengths and to heal from within.
We believe that therapy is about a greater understanding and acceptance of self and suffering. It’s about the courage to be vulnerable and commit to an honest, open relationship with ourselves, and with others in the world around us.

It is our honor to meet people where they are, and to create a safe, nurturing environment where human connections thrive. We stand together, and proud, to see suffering transformed through meaning-making and the power of relationships.
