River North sits at the center of one of Chicago’s most dynamic and fast-paced communities. Home to a dense concentration of professionals, creatives, executives, and healthcare workers, it is a neighborhood defined by ambition and achievement. But high-achieving lives can carry significant pressure, and for some, that pressure contributes to a complicated relationship with alcohol or substances.
Positive Sobriety Institute understands that reality. Established in Chicago in 2014, PSI was built specifically to serve adults who have built careers and lives worth protecting. Our program is designed to fit around those lives, not disrupt them. With flexible scheduling, complete confidentiality, and a clinical team of the highest caliber, PSI offers a path to lasting recovery that respects who you are and what you have worked to achieve.
Our facility is conveniently located in downtown Chicago, a short distance from River North, accessible by car or public transit with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
