About Chestnut Health Systems – Granite City

Chestnut Health Systems is a behavioral health clinic in Granite City, Illinois, that offers some substance abuse treatment for anyone with substance abuse disorders that are co-occurring with their mental health condition. They have intensive and general outpatient programs.

They also have gender-specific programs that focus on women’s health and pregnancy care. Having women geared towards women and having dual diagnosis treatment certainly gives this clinic an advantage over others that may not offer that benefit.

As far as their actual drug addiction services, however, I was a bit disappointed in their variety, or lack thereof. They do have detox and various outpatient programs. But as I looked into their programming, they spoke very little of actual drug or alcohol treatment, and instead talked about giving referrals to nearby clinics.

They do, though, offer individual therapy, couples therapy, and family counseling services, but it’s unclear whether substance abuse treatment plays a major role in these services or if they’d refer you somewhere else for that kind of treatment. Either way, this clinic is worth checking out if you think their services would suffice your needs.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient programs 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. Outpatient services are provided on an individual and/or group basis each week at one of their facilities in Belleville, Bloomington, Joliet or Maryville. Each individual is recommended to attend one to six hours of individual or group counseling each week while still living at home, attending school, and sharing in family activities. The assessment and individual needs will determine the length of treatment. Counseling groups will focus on various topics including communication/decision making skills, drug education, leisure education, life skills, stress management, self esteem and relapse prevention. Each young person and their families are encouraged to attend family programs.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one’s body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal. Chestnut Health Systems provides 24 hour short term supervised care for persons aged 18 years and older experiencing a withdrawal from most substances that do not require acute hospitalization. Admission to the Detox unit is voluntary. They accept only those individuals who choose to come to the unit. The facility is not prepared to work with persons who are experiencing serious medical problems or complications. The unit is staffed with nurses and behavioral technicians but it is not a hospital.

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. Inpatient services are designed for youth who need more clinical services than their outpatient program can provide. Youth participating in inpatient treatment live at their facility in Maryville and participate in day and evening treatment and recovery support activities. The inpatient program is an opportunity for a young person to focus on his or her recovery in a gender specific and structured daily environment.

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

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

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

Intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) services incorporate most of the components of inpatient treatment, but on an outpatient basis. It requires nine or more hours of counseling each week. This level of care is appropriate for those who are experiencing significant substance abuse problems but are demonstrating a willingness to work toward an addiction free lifestyle while remaining in their home environment. IOP uses a small group format, meeting on weekdays or evenings. The length of treatment is individually tailored to the client's unique circumstances.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

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.

Our Policy: Chestnut Health Systems – Granite City works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact us to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

family iconFamily Therapy

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. Chestnut Health Systems strongly encourages families to participate in their loved one’s treatment experience. Substance usage affects the entire family and may create breakdowns in communication and trust. It is their belief that in order for a young person or adult to be successful in overcoming their alcohol or drug problem, the family needs to understand addiction, learn the importance of the family support in recovery and make adjustments in their own behavior. Family members also need support during the treatment process.

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.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

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.

This location has come along way compared to the way it was before. I ve been coming here since 2022 and have had better progress and experience than I ve had with any other facility in my part of Illinois/St. Louis. Although the psychiatric program is horrible and the therapy program would be excellent if you weren t spending more time getting to know a new therapist every 6 months instead of working on your issues. (so when another job position opens up and pays more these therapist up and leave). For the most part I don t have anything bad to say about this place my doctor is Kevin Garner and he s the best primary care Provider that I ve ever had. He cares and if he can help me with anything he does are points me into the direction I m supposed to go. I recommend this place for anything from drug addiction to the flu are just getting your meds filled. Just go find a therapist or a psychiatrist somewhere else!!!

First off, if you are going to just copy/paste a disheartened don't bother. Instead, go and work on fixing the problems. This place is 100% policy over patients. I am a current patient and this is my real name. MAT, perfect. Medical care, the best. Therapy, Awesome. Psychiatric (don't)care, Garbage, Go somewhere else. They don't care about you or anything you need or say, here's an SSRI, now on your way.

The company defends and supports racism and homophobia. The housing programs often perform illegal actions and their managers use staff as escape goats for their errors.

So aside from not getting called back, little to no support and a facility with minimal services for the veteran community it is probably wise to find another location for care and case management.Madison County Veterans assistance commission, DAV, VFW and American Legion are far better equipped to provide these services. Also the VA offers a robust system across the river with far better outreach and resources.

I cry just thinking about someone trusting this place. I took on their services for a few years now at chestnut. I went through a few services and I am now stuck in housing. Words can t describe the dread I feel allowing these evil people to accompany me on my journey to wellness. I received no good treatment. Just over hear the staff calling people stupid and unfit. I believe the medication wasn t what it should have been. I and others have no idea why we stay but something isn t right with us anymore. Our self respect was purposely taken. My youth wasted dealing with small minded occult like people. They put up a good front, even trying to get me to believe they came from money and were decent people. Only to find they come from the unhinged population

I am not too happy with the receptionists/people who answer the phone as they are not clear with the info they re giving regarding when to call as a new patient etc. Very nice , but unclear with their information. My provider however, Jaime Campbell, is why I am leaving this review. I ve seen a few psychiatrists over the years and they always talk to you for 5 minutes, don t seem to really care, and seem to solely just be there to write prescriptions and get you in and out of their office as soon as possible. Jaime is the exact opposite. She seems to care, is a great listener, and never rushes me off the phone. Thank you Jaime for all your help and for being a great doctor!

Response from the owner1 year ago
Ashley - We are delighted you've had a great experience with Jamie! Thanks for bringing our attention to the issue with the phone staff, if you would like to provide additional feedback on this part of your visit, please send us an email at info@chestnut.org.

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT GETTING CLEAN! I mean look at their generic reply they give to everyone that gave them a bad review, very genuine. They are horrible in every way rather it's customer service, returning your calls, or caring for the patient. They will let you withdraw & won't think twice about it. Find a different place that takes your recovery serious because this place is not it!
