The HRDI Division for Mental Health and Rehabilitative Services provides the highest quality of humanistic care to individuals with mental illness or emotional instability. The services and care offered by this very first division of HRDI are geared toward the improvement of clients’ quality of life by promoting programs that focus first and foremost on the development of a sense of self and well-being, the ability to relate with other people in their social network, coping skills, self-actualization, and decision-making. Once the sense of self has been mastered, clients are then empowered with the support and skills they need to ultimately live independently and harmoniously in their own communities.

The HRDI Division for Alcohol, Substance Abuse, and Corrective Services (DASA) focuses on improving the quality of life for each individual it treats through self-sufficiency and substance-free living. Programs offered through this division have customized residential and outpatient treatment services for men and women, youth, single mothers, and individuals with HIV/AIDS. Women and children receive community-based personalized and comprehensive treatment, including early screening and identification of infant/ child behavioral and developmental issues, and assessment and treatment-planning interventions. In accordance with our mission of addressing mental illness, HRDI provides treatment for clients with dual diagnosis. The clients’ disorders are treated simultaneously as part of the same program, efficiently integrating mental health and substance abuse treatment, eliminating fragmentation of client services, and reducing gaps that negate treatment effectiveness. Selected HRDI programs are licensed by the Illinois Department of Alcohol and Substance Abuse, and accredited by COA and CARF.

The HRDI Division for Community Health Development strives to build a successful working collaboration with individuals and community partners, utilizing the shared objectives of promoting wellness and improving the health status of community residents. An element of the HRDI philosophy is that, in order to ensure the wellness of individuals, the agency must promote healthy lifestyles in the communities where individuals reside.
