Our recovery residence provides a 6-12 month program for Muslim males recovering
from addiction and is located just north of Chicago, Illinois. We accept people after they have at least 30 days of sobriety and ideally completed a residential program. Residents maintain a schedule that includes employment, recovery skills groups, 12-step meetings, and mandatory house meetings. For added spiritual support, periodic retreats allow the opportunity to strengthen brotherhood and connection to the Islamic faith. The residents are responsible as a group to manage the home and hold each other accountable in their recovery. Residents download our app on their smartphones in order to pay rent and check off their tasks/chores. The app also gives access to a peer mentor for real-time coaching to overcome cravings and enforce recovery skills. There is a brief grace period upon entering Madina House where the resident can adjust and find employment without penalty. We partner with local community organizations to help find job opportunities and food assistance. To apply for Madina House please call (847) 665-9477, or go to
www.madinahouse.org and fill out an application.
