THE ILLINOIS GROW RESIDENTIAL CENTER
The Residential Center, located in Kankakee, Illinois, offers a GROW recovery model for individuals who need intensive support and training and a structured living environment. The Residential Center is a 24-hour program, operating in a family-like setting and based on the GROW concept of organized, friendly, mutual help. In the residential community, participants learn good work and recreational habits, effective communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills.
The Residential program is based on four developmental stages. As participants progress through the four stages, they learn responsible involvement with others and gain effective leadership skills. The incremental stages allow residents to transition to the broader community, where they gradually assume ordinary, meaningful roles in society. And when participants “graduate” from the program, they will have formed lasting friendships and a new spirit of hopefulness and confidence that will serve them well throughout their lives.
The length of stay in the residential community varies from person to person. Some individuals benefit from several months’ participation while others need to stay longer in order to make real progress.
Those eligible to participate in the program must be at least 18 years old and capable of recognizing their need. They must also be motivated to make personal changes and willing to cooperate with help.
The cost of the program is based on a sliding scale and depends on an individual’s income. Please contact us for further details about the costs.
The GROW Residential Program is licensed by the Department of Accreditation and Licensure and accredited by the international organization, “The Council on Quality and Leadership.” The program is funded by the Illinois Department of Human Services.
