Alcoholism

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.

Drug 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.

Dual 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 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.

Opioid 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.

Cognitive 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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical behavior therapy in Illinois typically involves keeping a diary to track actions and emotions. Your therapist will use this diary to determine what to focus on during each session. In addition to individual sessions, you'll also attend group meetings where you are trained in coping skills.

Group Therapy

The staff have developed and provide a variety of group programs for both mental health and substance abusing clients as well as family members. Using input from clients and the community, the staff members develop relevant group programs that address the needs of the consumers. The goals for the group are to enhance the individual's functioning through the interactions made available by the group process. Groups are available to treat multiple issues including sex offender treatment, anger management, offenders of domestic violence, parenting, coping skills, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, etc.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. CRC programs offer individual, face-to-face counseling, assessment, crisis and referral services to clients presenting with mental health or substance abuse disorders. Education, counseling, referrals, etc., are used when appropriate in the provision of treatment. HIV/AIDS risk reduction education and TB education and referrals for testing are provided routinely.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational interviewing in Illinois is person centered and collaborative. This method allows the therapist to come alongside the client to address the issue of ambivalence toward change. By listening and reflecting, the therapist helps the client see the need for change and commit to making changes.

Trauma Therapy

TREM is an evidence based, facilitated group approach to healing from the effects of trauma. TREM is a fully manualized group-based intervention designed to facilitate trauma recovery among women with exposure to sexual and physical abuse. M-TREM is a fully manualized, group-based intervention designed to facilitate trauma recovery among trauma surviving men. TF-CBT is an empirically supported treatment model designed to assist children, adolescents, and their parents in the aftermath of traumatic experiences, through a components based hybrid approach that integrates trauma-sensitive interventions, cognitive-behavioral principals, as well as, aspects of attachment, developmental neurobiology, family, empowerment, and humanistic theoretical models in order to optimally address the needs of traumatized children and families in weekly individual appointments.

Couples 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.

Family Therapy

CRC staff attempt to involve family members in treatment whenever possible. Sessions for individual families are offered as well as group programs. The goals are to enhance understanding within the family, work toward problem resolution, enhance overall family functioning and improve family relationships. In addition, intervention training for families is provided.

Life Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. Community Support is a community-based treatment service designed to foster independent living and optimal functioning for individuals who require a higher level of care. Community Support Specialists work with individuals teaching skills to improve identified deficits and practice those skills in the community.
