Inside our Outpatient Facility in

Rolling Meadows, Illinois

Recovery is a lifelong journey,
and life doesn’t stop for it.

Addiction is a disease and it doesn’t resolve on its own. Without the right support, it becomes harder to interrupt. Maybe you’ve tried to stop substance use on your own and it hasn’t worked. Maybe you recently completed a residential program, and you need additional structure. Or maybe the idea of stepping away from your job, your family, and other responsibilities has kept you from recovery. 


Getting help doesn’t mean putting your life on hold. Located just outside Chicago in the northwest suburbs, RCA Outpatient Services in Rolling Meadows, IL, are designed to help you maintain sobriety while balancing work, school, family, and personal life. You can participate in our flexible, evidence-based, and nationally recognized outpatient programs in a compassionate, convenient setting, and still be home for dinner.

Outpatient Programs

Built Around Your Life

TL;DR – RCA Outpatient Services in Rolling Meadows offers three levels of outpatient care (PHP, IOP, and GOP), available in-person, hybrid, or virtual formats, so your treatment intensity can meet you exactly where you are.

Virtual IOP
& Hybrid Options

Evidence-based care with increased accessibility.



RCA’s virtual IOP program delivers the full clinical experience of our in-person IOP through a secure, HIPAA-compliant tele-health platform. For patients who prefer a combination of in-person and remote sessions, hybrid scheduling is available. Virtual-only and hybrid options are ideal for patients with transportation barriers, demanding work schedules, or those located beyond commuting distance of our Rolling Meadows facility. Also available statewide across Illinois and select additional states.

Learn More

General Outpatient
Program (GOP)


Ongoing support as you build
long-term stability.



GOP is designed for individuals who have completed a higher level of care and are transitioning to greater independence. Sessions occur weekly or as needed and focus on relapse prevention, coping skills reinforcement, and continued therapeutic support as you navigate life in sustained recovery.

Learn More

Intensive Outpatient
Program (IOP)

Flexible enough to fit a working schedule.



IOP provides structured group and individual therapy sessions at a frequency that allows most patients to maintain employment, attend school, or manage family responsibilities. Sessions are scheduled 3 days per week for 3 hours per day, during the day or at night, to minimize conflict with your commitments, and your treatment plan is updated regularly as you progress.

Learn More

Partial Hospitalization
Program (PHP)

The highest level of outpatient care.



PHP is designed for individuals who need significant daily support but do not require overnight residential care. You’ll attend programming five days per week, approximately five hours per day, and receive a full clinical schedule including group therapy, individual therapy, and medication management and psychiatric support where indicated. PHP is often the right step immediately following detox or inpatient residential treatment.
