Treating addiction as a disease is a fundamental factor in helping individuals break their dependence on drugs and alcohol. Our team of specialists staff multiple drug rehab centers around the nation, and we understand that an individualized approach to treating the disease of addiction is essential to a successful recovery. At our substance abuse treatment facility in Chicago, Illinois, we are a leading addiction treatment facility specializing in supervised detoxification and dual diagnosis. We promote a secure environment and a facility staffed by caring individuals whose priority is helping our clients get well. We can help individuals take the first steps towards ending their dependence on controlled substance and guide them to appropriate aftercare facilities for lifelong success.

The detoxification process is an uncomfortable one for many individuals struggling with addiction, which is why our drug detox clinic provides monitored detoxification for clients. A monitored detoxification is done within a drug rehab facility, ensuring individuals have professional supervision throughout the process. Monitored detox allows for increased safety measures since some individuals experience adverse side effects during withdrawal. In case of an emergency, our staff are available all hours to provide or call for assistance. And for clients experiencing mild discomforts like mood swings and nausea, staff and peers can provide a support system to encourage individuals who are struggling to hang on. Detoxing under the supervision of our trained staff is safer and more effective in the long term than attempting to detox at home.

One of the goals of therapy is for clients to talk about and understand their initial descent into addiction. Only through developing a trusting relationship can clients open up with therapists in a way that allows underlying causes and triggers can be discovered. Staff at our addiction recovery center specialize in identifying clients who suffer from a co-occurring mental illness as well as addiction. Also known as dual diagnosis, clients who are diagnosed with mental illness receive treatment for both the co-occurring mental disorder as well as addiction. Mental disorders that go undiagnosed and untreated can lead some individuals to self-medicate, which may eventually result in addiction. Not only does treating the co-occurring disorder put an end to the need to self-medicate, it also allows individuals to discuss other triggers during psychotherapy, enabling a more personalized treatment plan.

Another form of therapy integral to our addiction recovery program is group therapy. During these sessions, multiple clients meet with a trained therapist to discuss topics pertaining to the recovery process. Clients are free to interact with their peers at our addiction recovery facility, but group therapy sometimes provides an opportunity for more intimate and healing conversations. While encouraging peers is helpful, sometimes the most helpful conversations are those offering constructive criticisms. Clients who resist staff suggestions can benefit from these sessions if they keep an open mind while listening to others who are further along in their addiction recovery.

We believe aftercare is essential to maintaining one’s recovery goals, which is why staff at our substance abuse treatment facility work closely with clients to locate aftercare facilities near home. Sober living homes are less intensive than our addiction treatment center, but individuals still live among others who are in the early stages of addiction recovery. These facilities also provide a structured routine and chores for residents, which can help individuals ease back into their daily schedules later in the recovery process. And just as we place an emphasis on therapy as a cornerstone of our recovery program, we also believe in its importance as part of aftercare. Clients are encouraged to continue therapy with a local therapist and go to support group meetings as they continue the path to sobriety.

Fighting addiction with compassionate care is our goal at our addiction recovery center in Chicago, Illinois. We believe our individualized treatment plans and supportive environment are the best tools for achieving sobriety, and a sober lifestyle can help individuals begin their lives anew.
