What is outpatient addiction treatment?

Outpatient treatment is a flexible form of care where patients attend scheduled therapy sessions at our Rolling Meadows facility while continuing to live at home. It is designed to provide professional clinical support without requiring a residential stay, making it ideal for those maintaining work or family commitments.

Who benefits from Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)?

MAT is highly effective for individuals recovering from opioid or alcohol use disorders. It combines FDA-approved medications with behavioral therapy to significantly reduce cravings and physical withdrawal symptoms, lowering the risk of relapse.

How does dual diagnosis care work?

Our dual diagnosis program treats substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, such as depression or PTSD, at the same time. By addressing the root causes of addiction alongside mental health, we provide a more stable foundation for long-term recovery.

Do you provide transportation for outpatient services?
