WELCOME TO EL RINCON COMMUNITY CLINIC!

We are a not-for-profit substance abuse treatment program that has been available to the community since 1970.

Started by the church, community and gang leaders to combat the epidemic use of heroin and violence in the West Town and Humboldt Park communities, El Rincon Community Clinic has been an oasis of hope for an under-served Latino Community in Chicago: the narcotic addict. The agency has had a commitment to bringing change to a disenfranchised community for years.

We know that addiction can create a mosaic of problems including HIV/AIDS, prostitution, crime, poverty, child abuse and neglect and the general decay of entire families.

As a result of El Rincon's long-standing support of and involvement with West Town and Humboldt Park, we bring an invaluable perspective as to the roots of addiction as well as how to deal with its personal family health consequences.

Our Board has long-standing relationships within the community and various members in government in order to enhance our mission to the fullest. Our Board is reflective of the clientele that we serve in order to enhance sensitivity on many levels.
