Overview
Mission
Above and Beyond Family Recovery Center is an award-winning addiction treatment center on the Westside of Chicago offering same-day, walk-in, free, and behavioral outpatient recovery services.

Winner of a MacArthur Foundation award and recognized for its innovative programming at the national and state level, Above and Beyond is certified by the Joint Commission, a global driver of quality improvement and patient safety in health care. We prioritize dignity, compassion and community-centered healing in our approach to treating addiction, providing the most invisible and marginalized communities with barrier free access. Above and Beyond is redefining recovery for all.

Above and Beyond offered free addiction modalities to populations without means of paying for them including the homeless, sheltered and formerly incarcerated. We help house and improve their job readiness and monitor them over a three year period.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
