Mission Statement:
Founded in 1993, our mission is to improve quality of life for narcotic dependent persons living within 50 miles of the northwest suburbs of Chicago by providing the highest quality opioid addiction recovery services.
Beyond the primary mission of assisting opiate dependent individuals to cease the use of opioid, Therapeutic Intervention, Inc. has a number of secondary goals:
Reduction of the risk of infection, spread through the intravenous, intramuscular, and subcutaneous use of drugs, foremost among these being HIV/AIDs
Cessation of criminal behavior frequently associated with illicit drug use
Interruption of the process of deterioration of social, occupational, familial and economic functioning due to illicit drug use
Prevention of the process of cross-addiction to alcohol and other drugs
Helping patients develop internal coping skills without reliance on psychoactive substances
Core Values:
In our interactions with our patients, each other and members of the communities in which we work, we will treat everyone with dignity and respect. We value honesty, integrity, hard work and adhere to the highest ethical standards of addiction treatment. We embrace the concepts of personal and professional accountability in the workplace and we will always strive to treat others we would like to be treated.
Treatment philosophy:
We believe the treatment services should be delivered in a way that respects the dignity, value and self-worth of every patient. We believe that treatment and recovery are very personal experiences with distinct physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual components that may differ significantly from patient to patient. We believe that each patient has a right to be fully and completely informed about the services we provide and our approach to treatment. Most importantly, we believe that each patient brings unique life experiences to the treatment environment and plays a vital role in treatment planning, service delivery, and discharge/transition planning. Finally, we recognize our moral and ethical responsibility to provide the highest quality treatment services that hold the greatest promise of successful outcomes for our patients.
