About Footprints To Recovery

Several years ago our founders saw that the available addiction treatment options were missing many core elements; comfort, innovation, quality, and personalization that caters to the patient’s individual needs. Overcrowded and outdated treatment philosophies and one-size-fits-all models were too frequently the norms in the addiction treatment world. Our founders saw that the industry as a whole – although perhaps doing its best – had a lot of room to grow.

With a new outlook, they set out to build an organization with a mission to transform lives of addiction to lives of hope through inspiration, education, and support. They emphasized progressiveness, personalization, evidence-based treatment, and the importance of community – something too often missing from other programs. Targeting three key groups – those suffering from addiction, their loved ones and other providers in the health industry who would need our help – Footprints to Recovery opened its doors in 2013.

We have found that one of the greatest ways to provide the addiction treatment industry with what it needs, is to listen to those that are calling our phones and walking through our doors. Our mission, values, and outlook have remained a part of Footprints to Recovery since our opening and they will not change. Since then, we have gained a team of dedicated, educated and passionate clinicians and specialists who continue to strive towards offering the best care to thousands of patients throughout the country.

We also owe a tremendous amount of thanks to the Footprints to Recovery community for joining us on this remarkable journey. We hope that you’ll continue to be a part of our story.

What Our Patients Say About Us

Footprint saved my life

Footprint saved my life. It gave me a whole new outlook on life. The staff was excellent. I had staff personally go to the store to get me healthy foods to meet my diet. You can also workout twice a day. The staff is the best part there patient kind and caring they go above and beyond to meet your needs. They feed you good as well . It was comfortable and clean. I have no complaints

John Berry

Highly recommended.

This facility is filled with a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and expertise when it comes to treating substance use disorder. The staff are above and beyond helpful, often taking extra time to ensure that a client’s needs are not only met, but that the client has a sense of self worth and confidence in his or her ability to meet these needs in the outside world. Footprints is very much client centered with both individual therapy as well as groups, allowing clients to gain the much needed fellowship and support from peers necessary to remain sober in their own personal lives. Additionally offered at Footprints is an array of self care activities such as yoga, Chi Guang, chiropractic work, and more. A huge shout out to the staff for their dedication and support as clients navigate this difficult, and often scary time in their lives. Highly recommended.

This is my 1st time at an inpatient facility, so there isn't a way for me to compare it to others. I have heard clients say that this is the nicest and best facility they have been to. The BHTs are all genuinely kind. My Case Manager was always on top of things that I needed help or guidance with. My Therapist was also amazing and I felt comfortable around everyone. This is not a 12 step program. Everyday we have classes to help us cope, learn about ourselves and what addiction is. Footprints has an amazing atmosphere.

I just want to say this place has changed my life and my perspective on recovery! The amount of patience the staff has to see change is incredible! I don’t take anything for a gain of salt and truly am grateful for being apart of what the program had to offer. I will take every ounce of information and techniques I learn to beat the odds and move forward in my life. I highly recommend you to give Footprints a chance if your looking into recovery and getting your life back because I can confidently say the process was successful. God bless everyone at Footprints !

Elgin Footprints is a very decent recovery center staffed by professional case managers, licensed therapists, group facilitators, and behavioral health technicians. There is 100% an underlying strategy to help you deal with your substance abuse issues and much, much more. The staff cohesion is great and they are always willing to work together with me as an individual not just a client. I feel as long as you are willing to be open with yourself and engage in everything Footprints has to offer, you will absolutely make progress in dealing with whatever you are struggling with.

Footprints Staff has made this the best possible place to go for recovery and treatment. From Case manager Becky, intake coordinator Courtney, Therapist Madeline and all of the behavioral health techs. Each one of them went above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable. I am grateful to have been able to receive treatment here

Footprints was paramount in beginning my journey to sobriety. The facilitators and therapists were knowledgeable and actually cared about me as a whole person and armored me with tools to cope with all of my triggers of addiction. As a “for profit,” facility I challenge them to create a more organized environment, standard operating procedure, more employees for clients, higher quality amenities, update their website, and continue to be better. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to fix their life.
