It’s with great pride that we’re finally able to announce the opening of the county’s first FREE 24-hour access Narcan vending machine. It’s located outside of our main offices at 210s. 5th street in St. Charles. Anybody can access the machine any time day or night - you do not have to be a client or affiliated with Lighthouse in any fashion.
For those of you that don’t know - Narcan will reverse an opioid overdose. It has saved the lives of countless friends and family members over the years, and should be readily available to anybody that needs it - regardless of their ability or desire to access services in any other capacity. When someone is treated in this fashion - with compassion instead of shame - it could give them that one last chance to realize that help is out there and start them towards the path of recovery.
To be able to offer this and other services for free is a central philosophy of Lighthouse. While some other treatment providers will deny access to this or other forms of care (unless of course you have a PPO) we have based our entire business on treating the people that need help - regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay. We do not believe in, nor will we ever support, a corporate treatment model that only treats those that can afford the help. We are grateful to the Kane County Health Department for their financial support in assisting us in the purchase of this machine and continuous supply of Narcan over the years.
Tell your friends, your family, your coworkers, anybody that will listen - that help is out there. If there are any questions about this service or any other service that Lighthouse can provide do not hesitate to contact us at 630-940-2468.

Sheriff Ron Hain, Dr. Steve Holtsford, Coroner Rob Russell and I will be presenting tonight at the Arcada in STC - talking about current trends in substance use and substance use treatment. Please come out if you have any questions or know someone that needs help. We will also be training and providing Narcan and fentanyl test strips at the end of the evening. Hope to see you there!

So proud of Rick and all the men and women who are working every day to change, grow, or heal in these programs.

Former detainee, Rick Swain, who exited through our return-to-work program came back to share his success on the outside with other men from Recovery Pod who are hoping for a second chance. Re-entering people with wrap-around support is the toughest on crime we can get. .

Great job by Sophie in completing her murals and continuing to work on herself.
