Services
Skilled Nursing Care
Our Uptown location provides long-term skilled nursing care for individuals with mental health and chronic physical conditions. Licensed professionals deliver medical supports including orthopedic care, post-stroke rehabilitation, and respiratory therapy while integrating mental health services. Each treatment plan combines physical therapy, occupational therapy, and psychiatric care to address co-occurring diagnoses of mental illness and physical health challenges.
Recovery Programs
Community-based rehabilitation programs help adults manage mental illness symptoms through wellness planning and skill-building. Participants engage in WRAP planning, illness management, peer support groups, and expressive therapies to develop self-advocacy skills while working toward personal recovery goals in structured outpatient settings across three Chicago locations.
Dual Recovery
Specialized programming addresses co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders through integrated treatment. Certified counselors deliver individual and group therapy focused on relapse prevention, coping strategies, and behavioral health education while maintaining psychiatric medication management as part of comprehensive recovery planning.
Expressive Therapies
Therapeutic recreational activities incorporate art, music, and movement to improve emotional regulation and social skills. These non-verbal outlets for self-expression complement traditional psychotherapy by helping clients process trauma and develop healthier coping mechanisms within supportive group settings.
Workforce Recovery
Vocational rehabilitation services prepare clients for competitive employment through skills assessment, job readiness training, and community work placement. This program emphasizes career development alongside mental health recovery to enhance independence and economic self-sufficiency for adults with psychiatric disabilities.

Excellent people and a real kind heart community of descent folks of varying capacities. Always something for me to do here. Currently I print the meal menus every day and talk with my peers. I am content here until I have finalized the moving on program which I am expecting soon. Photographed is my very first painting of the Impressionistic style, done here at MADO! I have other talents too, including computer science and engineering. I have brought to my peers computers running Debian with internet access and YouTube music is a hit among my peers-- and very therapeutic too!

Report
The place is run down and per my dad, they don't have helpful activities. My dad's health declined here and I ended up having t transfer him to a better facility. It is scary to visit also since it is a communal visit area. You have mentally ill patients staring at you, while you are with your loved one, shaking, and walking back and forth, which was scary. They do have someone keeping an eye on everyone but there should be a private area where you can have some privacy / less traumatic for someone who has never been to a mental healthcare facility.
