About AMITA Health Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center Chicago – Saint Elizabeth Campus

AMITA Health Center- St. Mary and Elizabeth Campus provides mental health and substance abuse addiction treatment services to men and women seeking recovery. With multiple locations across the United States, their Arlington Heights, Illinois location focuses on high level intervention services.

AMITA Health Center- St. Mary and Elizabeth Campus offers inpatient, residential, intensive outpatient, and outpatient services.

Inpatient treatment is for individuals who need a high level of care and support at the beginning of treatment to help them stabilize mentally and emotionally. This program offers clinical interventions through individual and group therapy.

Residential treatment is for individuals who are unable to receive treatment from home due to mental and/or physical instability, or the inability to positively apply treatment without a higher degree of structure on a daily basis. Clinical treatments such as individual and group therapy are offered.

The intensive outpatient program is for individuals who no longer need to reside in a treatment facility while participating in their treatment program. Clinical treatments such as individual therapy, group therapy, classes, and connections to outside resources can be offered.

Outpatient treatment services are available as aftercare programming. This includes either 1 meeting per week or referrals to outside professional care teams and meetings that can support continued recovery work.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

In addition to child, adolescent and family therapy, they provide an Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), where teens can learn to recognize, cope with and talk about their symptoms, needs, thoughts and feelings. IOP participants are ages 12-17 and are working on a range of mental health and psychosocial issues needing a more intensive level of care. The program is held for 4 hours after school and includes a complimentary dinner. Teens attend at least 3 days per week, usually for 4-10 weeks.

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

12-step icon12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

aftercare iconAftercare Support

All patients are evaluated by a social worker for discharge planning needs and for initiating community resources. Home health care services, support groups, skilled nursing center placement, and financial services are arranged for the patient as needed. These programs provide the counseling, support and ongoing treatment needed to prevent relapse.

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

Drug rehab in Illinois is designed to help people recover from addiction to a number of substances. The length of each program and its intensity tend to vary, and the plan of care is based on your individual needs.

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Eating Disorder Treatment

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

family iconFamily Therapy

Patient and family education promotes health management, self-care and disease prevention. Education is offered in a variety of ways, from one-on-one talks to print materials and videos to classes and support groups. Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

life-skills iconLife Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

They don't care about the patients, or about giving proper care to them. They allow many 'medical mistakes' without realizing that this could cost someone's life. If you value your life, stay away from this place.

This is the worst hospital I have ever been to. I walked in needing a service, was immediately taken for blood and urine samples but then sat in the waiting room for two hours. Understandably, they were busy so the wait did not frustrate me as I would hope they would take emergency cases and mine was less immediate.I went to the front desk and told them I didn't need the service anymore and walked out. Two months later, I received a $2,500 bill for what? No services were rendered. I did not receive any of my blood or lab work and was never admitted. This is fraud, beware of your charges when you go to this hospital and keep an eye out on your bills. Getting this reversed also takes quite a bit of effort from the patient.

Update: I have since taken the COVID test many times. None of the tests I subsequently took were nearly as painful and uncomfortable as the test I took here at this facility . Not only was the nurse who took the test here rude and unprofessional but she was also incompetent, didn t know how to take a COVID test and, as a result of that, caused me a lot of pain and discomfort.I took the Covid test there this morning. The nurse taking the swab was rude and unprofessional. It was my first test. I was very uncomfortable and kept pulling back and she threatened me rudely that if I keep pulling back she will not do the test. How compassionate and rude- to threaten me that she is not going to do her job if I keep pulling back because of the discomfort I feel. Couldn t she have come up with a nicer and more professional way to make me feel better about what I was feeling. The Covid test is a very uncomfortable test and numerous people have said that. As a nurse she should be used to people reacting to it and should know how to deal with. Threatening in a rude way that she will stop trying to do the the test if you pull back one more time is rude, insensitive and unprofessional. Never going back there because of how that nurse behaved. Probably having a baby there would not be a good idea - if all nurses there are like her the moment you scream they will rudely threaten you that if you scream one more time they re not doing the delivery anymore.To update I had the Covid test done somewhere else. It was a much better experience and I was not nearly as uncomfortable as I was at AMITA. The reason I was pulling my head back at AMITA was because I was hurting because the nurse was doing a sh***y job. Her behavior and attitude were sh***y as well,

Called to inquire on an older medical record. I recalled retrieving an older medical record from Norwegian Medical Hospital - they were very help and still had records from over 10yrs back. Under Amita at Saint Elizabeth and St Mary's, they (Amita) made a decision to no longer store records older than 10 years. All these records from say 2012 and older have been destroyed due to cost of storage. I get paper is hard to keep records, but the Hospital made the decision to be in the business of Health which record retention is crucial especially for historical medical data and proactive path forward (using older records as a baseline). Very disappointed at Amita and hospitals under them making decisions to save money but still remain in the business of health. I reached out to an out-of-state hospital for a visit I had , they have record retention dating back 30+years - this is basically GOLD to any doctor treating a patient (having older records to observe any patterns and baselines). I would gladly pay for any of my historical medical records, unfortunately the one visit I had at St Elizabeth it is no longer available. If companies are in the business of health, then medical record retention should be a prioritized requirement (and not just for 10 years either).

Stay away from this hospital. They treat their patient s horribly and could care less. I cannot say one good thing about the care I got there. Oh, excuse me, there was no care except a pretty good whipping by a crazy sitter that should have been sitting with her pt.

Just wanted to give a huge shout out to Dr. Randhawa! Have struggled to find a good psychiatrist until I met him in 2017. He is beyond patient and incredibly understanding. I love that he always wants to understand all aspects of a situation / issue before providing a solution. Dr. Randhawa is also incredibly personable and makes every meeting super comfortable and inviting. Can't express in words how much I appreciate all he has done for me! Thank you, Doc!
