About Counseling Associates

Counseling Associates is a State Licensed and Court approved Agency located in Joliet, Illinois. Counseling Associates specializes in DUI and SAP DOT Evaluations, classes, and treatment.

The outpatient program is best suited for individuals who do not need a high degree of structure and accountability in order to succeed with treatment. This program offers evaluations, SAP/DOT addiction counseling, mental health counseling, anger management services, DUI services, individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and continuing care.

Once a person progresses through the outpatient program, he or she may move into an aftercare phase of treatment that allows the individual to reduce the frequency of their treatments each month.

Counseling Associates can be contacted to learn more about the fees of their programs and insurance options. If individuals want to use insurance for any kind of treatment, they may contact their insurance provider to learn about coverage. This is helpful prior to starting treatment because out of network benefits may vary.

This review is specifically for John Kizhakedan. I was needing a new evaluation, because Care Clinics messed up my evaluation, and needed them to correct some errors they made. Rather than redo the mistake they made on my assessment, they wanted to charge me another 100 dollars for a mistake they made. I decided to go somewhere else, and I googled other facilities that can help me, and sure enough Counseling Associates LLC, was highly recommended, and there is a reason for that.Firstly, I reached out via email to this establishment. And they replied back within an hour, after I explained my situation of needing an Evaluation for court. Needless to say, they make things so easy and convenient when your filling out the forms, even on your phone, it's so easy to get it done. They literally fill out most of the forms for you. Secondly, They were went above and beyond to give me my evaluation over Zoom, within two days.If you are looking for an evaluation or compassion and no judgement, John Kizhakedan, is the person to see. He was very understanding and nice and very helpful thorough this process. Not only that, he got my evaluation done the same day, without having to wait days for my evaluation for court. He certainly went above and beyond to help me out. This is rarely ever done by anyone, especially when it was close to the Holidays. John truly is an amazing person, and he does listen, and does not Judge, and makes you feel welcomed. If you are looking to get an evaluation, or needing classes. I would recommend to anyone reading this review, talk to John or ask about John. He truly was a pleasure to work with and he definitely will help you. Thank you again for your help John.Anyone who reads this review, look no further. Cause you will certainly, Be helped in your time of need!

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

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.

Treatments

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Clinical Services

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.

I learned and enjoyed these classes because of the facilitator John. If you're thinking of signing up for these types of classes trust me John is your guy.

Thank you so much Brian!

Brian Hufstedler

John was extremely approachable, respectful and knowledgeable. The office was clean and comfortable. I felt comfortable there seeing that my situation was uncomfortable. So, I give them 5 stars!

If you're in need of a program, this is the place. Mr. John was a great help and mentor. If you think you know alot, you might be surprised of the stories others have, in fact you should be so that way if you're headed down the wrong path, you might wake up and realize your actions affect literaly everyone.

Thank you! We're so glad that we were able to help you on your journey.

Ryan Armour

John honestly made my classes worth every bit of time and money. He truly made me believe in myself again and helped me realize the meaning of being a safe individual not only for myself but everyone around me. Thank you John

Thank you for sharing your experience Ryan. I'm glad that the classes had a positive impact on you and wish you all the best.

JiveTurkey Monster

I took my time to find the right place for me to do my substance abuse counseling. I'm happy to say that I found it. The structure of the classes is easy to understand and John made to open up. Classes ranged from 12-20 people which I feel is the right amount. You get a wide range of stories from the people in class without the classes feeling like they are running long. If you a honest you will get a lot out of his courses.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and glad to hear you found our courses helpful!!
