Providence Farm
Jan. 10, 2023
Stephanie Zwilling is a Northfield-based therapist who was frustrated and saddened by watching clients who wished to return home to the North Shore from out-of-state treatment or sober-living environments return to find no community to support them. Research is clear that a supportive fellowship of other recovering young people – connection – is the single greatest asset in sustained recovery. In 2017, she was able to open Providence Farm, an extended care community-based and community-supported sober home for 18–30-year-old men who have completed treatment for substance use disorders. The house is on 2.3 acres in Northbrook, Illinois, central to Chicagoland’s North Shore and Northwest suburban communities. It is a unique recovery community environment, providing comprehensive age and gender appropriate support in addition to a drug and alcohol-free residential environment.
