Rincon Family Services

WHO WE ARE Rincon Family Services (RFS), a not-for-profit organization, was established in 1972 by community residents and individuals recovering from substance use on the West Side of Chicago. One of the first Latino-focused substance use treatment centers, we have expanded our mission over the years to address the changing needs of the larger community. With over 45 years of experience, we offer a continuum of culturally relevant care across the lifespan of the Chicagoland area. OUR MISSION We are dedicated to rendering compassionate and effective programs to promote the quality of life by serving as a catalyst to advocate, educate and empower individuals and their families. FOCUSED ON THE FAMILY In 2011, "El Rincon" became "Rincon Family Services" as a result of the awareness that substance abuse can have a domino effect on families. In the last ten years, Rincon has added seven new programs that engage children, teenagers, and parents with effective methods of treating and preventing addictive behaviors. Additionally, we are invested in diversifying our resources in order to provide the most comprehensive and sustainable care available to our clients.
