In 1974, Healthcare Alternative Systems (H.A.S.) began as a response to the health disparities among Chicago's Hispanic community. After more than 40 years of service, H.A.S. has firmly established itself as a leading provider of mental health and substance use treatment services for under-served communities throughout Cook and DuPage counties. We remain proudly committed to providing a continuum of multicultural and bilingual (English/Spanish) social services that empower individuals, families, and communities. 

Each year H.A.S. provides approximately 4,000 individuals the supports needed to live a self-directed, dignified life. Our programs include: outpatient and intensive outpatient substance use treatment, medication assisted treatment, residential and transitional housing support, and domestic violence support and prevention services. Additionally, we are one of the only providers in the state to offer Spanish-language services to women experiencing postpartum depression.
