About Us

About TWT Clinic

A trusted addiction treatment center in Chicago, Illinois, dedicated to helping individuals and families reclaim their lives from substance use disorders.

Our Story

Founded on the Belief That Recovery Is Possible

TWT Clinic was founded by a team of addiction medicine specialists who recognized a critical gap in accessible, high-quality treatment options on Chicago's South Side. What began as a small outpatient practice has grown into a comprehensive residential and outpatient treatment facility serving individuals and families from across Illinois and beyond.

Our founders witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of alcohol and opioid addiction in Chicago communities. They envisioned a treatment center that combined clinical excellence with genuine compassion, a place where every patient receives the individualized attention they deserve regardless of their background or circumstances.

Today, TWT Clinic operates from our purpose-built campus on South Federal Street, offering a full continuum of care from medical detoxification through residential treatment, intensive outpatient programming, and long-term alumni support. Our facility has served thousands of patients since opening, and we continue to expand our programs to meet the evolving needs of our community.

Our Mission

Empowering Lasting Recovery

Our mission at TWT Clinic is to provide evidence-based, compassionate addiction treatment that empowers individuals to achieve sustained recovery and rebuild meaningful lives. We believe that addiction is a treatable medical condition, not a moral failing, and that every person who walks through our doors deserves dignity, respect, and expert care.

We are committed to treating the whole person, addressing not only substance use but also the underlying mental health conditions, trauma, and social determinants that contribute to addiction. Through our integrated approach, we help our patients develop the coping skills, self-awareness, and community connections they need for lifelong sobriety.

Our Approach

Evidence-Based Treatment, Personalized for You

At TWT Clinic, we believe effective addiction treatment must address the biological, psychological, and social dimensions of substance use disorders. Our integrated clinical model combines proven therapeutic modalities with medication-assisted treatment and holistic wellness practices to give each patient the best possible foundation for recovery.

Every patient who enters our facility receives a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment conducted by our multidisciplinary team. This assessment informs an individualized treatment plan that is continuously updated throughout the course of care, ensuring that our approach adapts as each patient progresses.

Our trauma-informed philosophy means that every staff member, from our physicians to our support team, understands the role that adverse experiences play in addiction. We create a safe, structured environment where patients can process past trauma while developing healthier coping mechanisms for the future.

Stories of Recovery at TWT Clinic

Hear from individuals and families whose lives have been transformed through our programs in Chicago.

I spent 30 days in the residential program at TWT Clinic and it completely changed my trajectory. The individual counseling sessions helped me understand why I turned to alcohol in the first place, and the structured daily schedule kept me focused on recovery. The staff on South Federal Street genuinely cared about my progress. I'm now over 14 months sober and rebuilding my career.

James R.
Residential Treatment Program

After years of opioid dependence, I was terrified of withdrawal. The medical detox team at TWT Clinic made the process as comfortable as possible with round-the-clock monitoring and medication-assisted treatment. Transitioning directly into their residential program gave me the continuity I needed. Chicago has a lot of treatment options, but TWT Clinic stood out for their clinical expertise and compassion.

Priya M.
Medical Detox + Residential Treatment

The intensive outpatient program at TWT Clinic allowed me to get the treatment I needed while still working and being present for my kids. The evening group therapy sessions were incredibly powerful, and my counselor worked with me to develop a relapse prevention plan tailored to my life. The flexibility of their IOP schedule made all the difference for someone in my situation.

Maria L.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

I came to TWT Clinic struggling with both alcohol addiction and severe anxiety. Their dual diagnosis program was exactly what I needed because they treated both conditions simultaneously rather than telling me to address one first. The combination of DBT skills groups and psychiatric care helped me develop coping strategies I still use every day. The Chicago location made it easy for my family to participate in therapy sessions.

Anthony W.
Dual Diagnosis Program

Watching my brother struggle with addiction for years was agonizing, but TWT Clinic gave our whole family hope. The family therapy program helped us understand how to support his recovery without enabling his behavior. The clinical team communicated with us consistently and included us in discharge planning. He completed residential treatment six months ago and is doing better than we've seen him in a decade.
