I was released 5 days ago. I thank Haymarket staff in Mater Hall for everything, as well as the few counselors in TWL who got me to stay when I was in denial of my substance abuse issue still. My case manager(Ms.British) and all the counselors of Mater hall made me comfortable, and really helped me turn my life around. I needed the structure and support. Major stuff like getting my legal identification all sorted to basic stuff like just my getting my confidence back was all done here. Ive never felt more capable of staying away from drugs and alcohol as I do now, as well as ready to go forward with IOP & NA/AA groups. &The food was not as bad as everyone makes it seem in the comments, Thanks to Lorenzo &his staff I was fed 3 meals a day. &Fed is best. Thank you Haymarket. I hope to continue my recovery path and use everything you guys have taught me for me and my family.

Be careful. The month i checked in my SNAP was stolen. Awfully coincidental that my personal info was needed by several employees there and my SNAP was stolen for the same months. They already get paid from my insurance so this is NOT normal. Now i have to go back if I want to eat, or find pantries this month.

Been through the program on 2 different occasions this year One time in April the counselors and medical staff are great the classes and curriculum is good I learned a lot The one problem is THIS LUNCH LADY NAMED “WANDA”. A OLD LADY THAT IS COMPLETELY RUDE ANS DISRESPECTFUL. I was in treatment this pass nov and I just left the program because of her. And haymarket seems to not do anything about her… and she still is working there .. she needs to be fired.

There is no reason to waste time complaining to google reviews. I reported this hole to the Illinois Department of Human Relations for the horrid treatment I experienced at Haymarket. I self checked in for treatment. My insurance covered the cost. I never heard of anyone using their insurance to check into prison. Wait! Prisoners get better treatment than this place. Also, the nasty, mystery food served is Aramark. They are contracted with cook county jail. I did not deserve this! I wanted help with substance. I did not want street people fighting and men who called themselves woman who resided in my unit touching me inappropriately. I had to sleep with the lights on. I got injured when two women got into a fight next to me. The staff had no education and talked down at me or at me. They were from the street too. I am so embarrassed to say I stayed at Haymarket!

Horrible place! The food is like slop. They do not give you your medication even if it’s approved by your doctor. I have horrible anxiety and they wouldn’t give me my medication. They said if I stayed the first night I got there, they would have to destroy it. So I told them to discharge me right away and they gave me a hard time about it. I was also the only one in the detox unit. You wonder why no one wants to be there? Terrible place! Probably worse than prison!
