If your in a life or death situation and you come here then you opted for death. I am a documented asthmatic came in with shortness of breath. 3 hours later still haven t been seen. This place has been empty for 2 of those hours. It s legit me and a family that just came in. This place needs to be shut down obviously they are over paid to do nothing.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

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.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.

Treatments

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 rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
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.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Clinical Services

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.

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.

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.

Trauma therapy involves working through the psychological and emotional impact of a traumatic event. You learn to identify the triggers and develop coping mechanisms that build a sense of safety and trust in yourself.

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.

nutritional-therapy iconNutritional 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.

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.

Medical malpractice and lack of empathy from some staffHonestly the staff here are not that bad. Many are supportive and genuinely care about your medical and emotional well-being . However some cross the line and are not empathic or even sympathetic .After labor, I was still heavily medicated because I lost a lot of blood and hydration after birth. I also had a failed epidural which caused me nerve damage because it was injected 4-5 times by the anesthesiologist. This caused me extreme pain after birth and people had to help me carry the baby because I could not walk. I had hip, back, and sciatic nerve painI was bonding with my baby and breastfeeding and then I was rudely interrupted by 3 of the staff. Some were social workers and some were psychiatrist. Most of them were male too. First of all have some decency, my breast are out I need privacy. Second you are intruding on my bonding time.Then this social worker ( Ana Gonzalez) says she thinks I won t be able to bond with the baby. Maam just because I had trouble answering your questions doesn t mean I hate and will neglect my child. 1) I am heavily medicated and can t focus 2) hormonal changes make you cry easy after birth which is normal and biological 3)my bonding with the baby was disrupted by you and other staff

I had an unfortunate experience at Elmhurst Hospital due to the unprofessional and rude behavior of a security guard stationed near the main entrance to the pharmacy. This individual, an older man in his early 50s with a darker complexion and glasses, didn t even give me a chance to speak when I approached to ask about pharmacy hours. Instead, he made me feel unwelcome and even spoke to me in Spanish, a language I don t understand, assuming I was there for other reasons. It was 3:45 PM, and I was trying to confirm whether the pharmacy was still open, yet he responded dismissively with ma�ana, ma�ana while waving his hands. This encounter was very frustrating, and the guard s demeanor showed a lack of professionalism, especially for a hospital setting. I would suggest more training on respectful and helpful interactions with visitors, as this was a disappointing and unnecessary experience.

The few kisses I've had have been a bad experience but I heard I exceeded the limit, waiting more than 12 hours in the emergency room and you ask and no one knows anything. It's the most horrible hospital you can ever see. I came here because my son couldn't stand the pain and it's the It was closer to me but I am so sorry for having come here, don't go to another hospital because you will end up regretting it.

I am sitting in the waiting room in pain. A deli cat punctured my hand with one of its nails by accident and my left arm is itching with a horrible heat sensation. I was inside of the room where patients get their bed. A patient that had been in pain for the past 6 months was told by a nasty male nurse we aren t playing these games today . I think he should have his medical degree or license whatever he has permanently. Just because you can t understand his language doesn t mean they are playing these games today . Same nasty nurse saw me in pain and has made me wait for the past 4 hours with my name not being called with barely any patients coming in or being admitted.
