Three ways to take the next step

Call, send a callback request, or go straight to treatment.

You do not have to work out the next step alone. Talk to a person now, ask to be called back, or head to professional care — all three are free to explore and commit you to nothing.

  1. Option 1 · Talk now

    Call us

    Speak to a person about meetings near you, peer support, or what a first step looks like. No cost, no obligation to continue.

  2. Option 2 · Write to us

    Request a callback

    Prefer not to call? Fill out a short form with the best time to reach you and a person will get back to you. Share only what you are comfortable sharing.

  3. Option 3 · Professional care

    Find Treatment

    Detox, residential rehabilitation, and outpatient programs are covered by Find Your Recovery, our primary treatment resource.

    Find Treatment

    Opens findyourrecovery.com

In an emergency call 911. For mental health or suicide crisis support, call or text 988.

Major cities in Illinois

Select a city to search the directory for that area. Each link opens this page with the search already set, so you can see any verified listings we hold and reach the official finders.

State capital: Springfield. We add city pages only where there is enough distinct, verifiable local information to justify one — we do not publish hundreds of near-identical pages.

Official statewide and regional AA resources

State and regional AA service bodies publish the most current local schedules, including venues and any changes to meeting times. The general service office meeting finder is the fastest entry point, and local intergroups are listed on your group's own page.

AA meeting finder

Official statewide and regional NA resources

NA areas and regions maintain their own meeting lists and helplines. The world services meeting search covers in-person and virtual meetings, and local service committees publish area-specific schedules.

Public behavioral health resources

For professional and publicly funded services in Illinois, start with the national treatment locator, the 988 crisis line for mental health and suicide crisis support, and your state's 211 service for local community assistance.

Listings on this page are held in our directory with their source and verification date. Where we hold nothing verified for Illinois, we say so rather than publishing unconfirmed meetings — see how the directory is built.

If This Is An Emergency

National Recovery Directory is a resource directory, not a treatment provider, medical practice, or emergency service. If you or someone you care about needs help right now, please contact emergency services directly.

  • Call or text 988 for mental health or suicide crisis support (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline).
  • Call 911 for an immediate medical emergency.
  • Alcohol and sedative withdrawal can be life-threatening. Anyone experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms needs emergency medical care right away.

A peer support meeting is not a substitute for emergency medical treatment. Severe alcohol or sedative withdrawal can be life-threatening and requires emergency medical care.
