There are moments in history when a group of individuals/ organizations coalesce and create innovative solutions to some of our community’s most significant challenges.

That’s the story behind Maryhaven’s Addiction Stabilization Center and the impact it’s having on people struggling with addiction. First, we saw a problem: A lack of in-patient beds was feeding a devastating downward cycle. Treatment must be available when someone decides to seek help or they may retreat back into their disease. Next, the idea: Convert an old hospital on the South Side into a 55-bed facility to specifically treat and stabilize people in crisis until long-term care becomes available. Then a group of community leaders stepped up and gave Maryhaven the resources and guidance needed to design and build the center in seven months. Since its opening on Jan. 19, 2018, the center has served nearly 900 people; 86 percent of these patients have chosen to enter long-term treatment.

The faces of Wealth Management Adam J. Smetzer, CFP®, CPA Robert A. Mauk, CFP® Joseph A. Chornyak, Jr., CFP® Joseph A. Chornyak, Sr., CFP® - Managing Partner Shortcuts don’t lead to the best financial planning, and that’s why Chornyak & Associates doesn’t use them.
