Outpatient Substance Use Treatment & Recovery

We provide treatment for substance use disorders involving opioids, alcohol, stimulants, and other substances. We also support individuals facing non-substance addictions, including gambling, food, shopping, and gaming disorders.

Yes. Substance use disorder is a medical condition—not a matter of willpower or simply “quitting cold turkey.” Like many chronic conditions, it often requires ongoing, whole-person care. Effective treatment typically combines medication (such as Medication-Assisted Treatment), counseling and behavioral therapy, mental health support, and strong community connections. Recovery isn’t always a straight line, and setbacks don’t mean failure—they simply mean the care plan may need to change. With the right support, long-term recovery is possible.

Our substance use treatment and recovery services are provided as an outpatient program. This means you can receive structured treatment, medical support, counseling, and recovery services while continuing to live at home and maintain work, school, or family responsibilities. If a higher level of care is needed, our team can help discuss options and next steps to ensure you receive the support that’s right for you.

Medication Assisted Treatment and Recovery (MAT/MAR) are game-changers in addressing opioid use disorder. It combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to support both physical and emotional recovery.

MAT/MAR helps stabilize brain chemistry, reduce cravings, and lower the risk of relapse and overdose—especially during the early stages of recovery. For many people, it provides the stability and support needed to focus on healing, rebuilding daily life, and moving forward. With the right care and support, long-term recovery is absolutely possible.

Yes. Most major insurance plans are accepted, including: private insurance plans, work (employee-sponsored) insurance, Health Marketplace, Get Covered Illinois plans, Medicaid, Medicare, and MCOs.

We offer a sliding fee scale to make care accessible for uninsured or underinsured patients.

If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room right away.

Our department is committed to saving lives by increasing access to overdose prevention resources in our community. We offer free Narcan® (naloxone) trainings to help individuals recognize and respond to an opioid overdose with confidence. Participants learn when and how to administer Narcan®, what to expect after giving it, and how to take steps to keep someone safe until help arrives. We also provide free Narcan® to community members at any of our locations—no cost and no judgment. Naloxone is a safe, easy-to-use medication that can reverse an opioid overdose and restore breathing. It has no effect if opioids are not present and can be administered by anyone with basic training. In addition, we maintain multiple 24/7 Narcan access boxes throughout the community, so life saving medication is always available when it’s needed most. Locations include:
