About It's About Change Sober Living Inc

It's About Change Sober Living Inc in Elgin, Illinois, is a certified sober living provider in the Fox River valley.

An Elgin Recovery Housing Provider

It's About Change Sober Living Inc is incorporated as It's About Change - Sober Living Inc and is licensed by the state substance abuse agency. The Illinois Association of Extended Care lists it among the state's certified recovery residences, publishing its Bode Road address on the register. A certifying body that prints the street address is vouching for a particular building rather than for a name, which is what lets an outsider check the certification against the house being offered.

Housing Combined With Clinical Services

The organization does not stop at the housing. It provides cognitive behavioral therapy, group therapy, peer support, anger management, twelve-step work, case management, DUI education, alcohol testing and drug screening. An operator holding both the housing and the services means a resident is not assembling a recovery plan out of separate providers who never speak to one another, and it means one organization sees the whole of a resident's week rather than an hour of it.

Court and Treatment Referrals

The organization accepts people who have finished substance use disorder treatment and people still in it, including people with co-occurring disorders and those referred by local courts. Taking residents who are still in treatment is the part that widens the door, because it drops the requirement to finish a clinical program before a stable address becomes available.

Serving Kane County and the Fox Valley

Elgin is the largest city in Kane County, and this operator's certified address is inside the city. Elgin stands on the Fox River northwest of Chicago, with Geneva, the Kane County seat, downstream on the same river. A resident referred here stays in Kane County for the housing and for the services attached to it.

What the Operator Expects

Every resident carries a share of the household bills and the chores, attends twelve-step meetings and submits to random drug testing. Expectations set at the organization level rather than improvised house by house are ones an applicant can be told about before agreeing to anything.
