Alcohol and Drug Outpatient Rehab and Mental Health Services in Chicago

Substance use issues and other mental health conditions often go hand-in-hand. Treatment should, too. A helpful place to start is to ask yourself if your alcohol or drug use could be contributing to difficulties you've been experiencing, like relationship troubles, issues at work or new or worsening mental health conditions. These are clues that your substance use might be impacting your ability to cope or function well—and that you might benefit from treatment.

To get an even better perspective, contact a Hazelden Betty Ford care navigator. Confidentially and at no cost, our care navigators can help assess your situation, share the types of behavioral health programs and services we offer in Illinois, and guide you in determining the most-effective next steps.

You can also ask our care navigators about the different levels and components of addiction rehab available at our Chicago, Illinois, treatment facility, including:

• Day treatment (partial hospitalization/PHP) - An especially effective outpatient rehab level if you've experienced a recent relapse or you've made multiple previous attempts at an inpatient or outpatient drug rehabilitation center
• Intensive outpatient treatment/IOP (In person and virtual) - An ideal level of care if you are completely new to addiction treatment or you are transitioning out of a residential/inpatient addiction treatment setting
• Low intensity outpatient treatment – An ideal level of programming as you transition from clinical care and incorporate recovery skills into your daily life: building new routines, strengthening your sober support network, managing mental health symptoms and recognizing/addressing substance abuse triggers

There is a strong correlation between trauma and addiction. Many people who are diagnosed with a substance use disorder also have a history of trauma. Our special-focus, trauma-informed groups provide a safe and supportive setting for you to:

• Talk about past trauma and its impact on your daily life
• Explore the connection between trauma and addiction
• Cope with thoughts and emotions related to your history of trauma
• Learn and practice grounding and self-soothing techniques

Participating in a trauma-informed group during rehab could make all the difference in your recovery journey.

We do not provide drug or alcohol detox services at our Chicago outpatient clinic, but our residential treatment centers in Minnesota, California and Oregon have fully staffed medical units for detoxification services.

Due to the unpredictable and potentially severe side effects of alcohol and other drug withdrawal, it's important to seek out medical advice about the detoxification process. Detox services are often required before starting an addiction rehab program because the process helps to ease withdrawal symptoms and reduce drug cravings so you can focus your attention and energy on treatment.

Video conferencing technologies have opened the door to treatment and therapy for many more people seeking help. Hazelden Betty Ford's virtual programs are a great fit if you have accessibility or mobility challenges or you aren't located near Chicago.

For some Hazelden Betty Ford patients, access to virtual treatment has improved participation rates because attendance is so convenient.

Our Chicago-based virtual intensive outpatient program (IOP) incorporates evidence-based behavioral health therapies, Twelve Step principles and practices, and the latest scientific research about addiction recovery. Your care plan will be based on bio/psycho/social assessments and will include individual therapy, group sessions and sober living skill-building.

Your treatment team will connect you with effective post-treatment resources based on your specific needs. Addiction is a chronic disease. Regaining and maintaining your health and sobriety involves developing healthy new lifestyle routines and practices.

Hazelden Betty Ford offers a wide range of recovery resources to support your long-term sobriety and mental health goals. Online and in-person recovery support resources are designed to inform and support your recovery, reduce the risk of relapse, and introduce you to healthy new ideas and routines. Some of our most popular resources include:

• Web/phone-based recovery coaching
• Monitoring and accountability services
• Mobile apps
• Self-help books
• Daily inspirational emails
