About Remedies
Mission Statement: To empower individuals to renew their lives.
Remedies provides critical and often times lifesaving services to adults struggling with addiction and to victims of domestic violence and human trafficking and their children or vulnerable family members. Remedies works to end the cycle of abuse, exploitation and addiction through education, support, and community involvement.
We provide the only domestic violence shelter in Winnebago and Boone counties. Each year Remedies provides a variety of domestic violence program services to approximately 1,100 adult and child survivors of domestic violence, approximately 15% of which are children. Remedies substance abuse programs serve an additional 2,000 adults each year. We provide a safe, supportive environment and critical, client-centered services designed to promote the healing of individuals and families.
Remedies is a private, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization governed by a voluntary board of directors.
