Our Mission & Values

Offering evidence-based care, counseling, and medication-assisted treatment, we empower individuals to overcome addiction, rebuild relationships, and reintegrate into society

Our Mission: Breaking the Cycle of Addiction

At Break The Cycle Foundation, our mission is clear: to provide individuals struggling with substance use disorder the tools, resources, and support they need to reclaim their lives and achieve lasting recovery. We believe that addiction is a treatable disease, not a moral failing, and that everyone deserves a second chance at a fulfilling, healthy life.

By offering evidence-based care, counseling, and medication-assisted treatment, we empower individuals to overcome addiction, rebuild relationships, and reintegrate into society with confidence and dignity.

Our Core Values

At Break The Cycle Foundation, we operate with a set of fundamental values that shape our approach to addiction treatment and recovery support.

Compassionate & Client-Centered Care

We recognize that every individual’s journey to recovery is unique. Our approach is rooted in understanding, empathy, and respect, ensuring that clients receive personalized support tailored to their needs.

Community & Connection

We believe that recovery thrives in a supportive community. Whether through one-on-one counseling, group therapy, or peer support, we help clients build relationships that foster encouragement, accountability, and long-term success.

Accessibility & Inclusivity

Break The Cycle Foundation is committed to providing accessible, affordable treatment for all individuals in need—regardless of their background, financial status, or circumstances. We welcome everyone with open arms and provide culturally competent care to meet diverse needs.

Evidence-Based & Holistic Treatment

Our team integrates scientifically proven methods such as medication-assisted treatment (MAT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and relapse prevention strategies to offer a well-rounded, effective treatment plan for long-term recovery.

Integrity & Advocacy

We advocate for awareness, education, and policy changes that support addiction recovery and mental health. Through community outreach and public education, we aim to reduce stigma and promote evidence-based treatment solutions.

Our Commitment to the Chicago Community

Chicago faces significant challenges with substance abuse, homelessness, and mental health crises. At Break The Cycle Foundation, we are dedicated to being part of the solution by:

Providing immediate access to treatment for those in crisis.

Addressing root causes of addiction, including trauma, poverty, and systemic barriers to care.

Partnering with local organizations to expand access to support services.

Breaking the stigma associated with substance use disorder through education and advocacy.

Serving the Chicago West Side and surrounding areas, we are here to help you or your loved one take the first step toward recovery.
