Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Persons appropriate for outpatient programming are in need of structured treatment focused on prevention of illicit use, but are ready to begin incorporating sober lifestyle changes into settings outside of treatment such as family, work, school etc. Recognizing substance abuse as a multidimensional problem, outpatient treatment plans can address many issues including HIV, Hepatitis C,and other infectious disease prevention, job-readiness, perinatal addiction, domestic violence, criminal justice issues, parenting, concurrent health issues, and mental health in conjunction with the overarching goal of freedom from drug and alcohol abuse. The outpatient service menu includes substance abuse assessment, group counseling, individual counseling, case management, and periodic drug screening.

inpatient iconInpatient

The primary goal of residential treatment is to provide the substance abusing and substance dependent client with a structured environment that optimizes a positive treatment outcome. Residential Rehab is a residential therapeutic community that is professionally staffed 24 hours a day. This residential community is designed to improve the client’s ability to structure and organize the tasks of daily living and recovery. Clinical programming is designed to develop and apply recovery skills, including relapse prevention, interpersonal choices, and development of a social network supportive of recovery. Clients admitted to Residential Rehab must be at least 18 years of age. The client must have a substance use disorder which he or she is currently unable to effectively control without the structure of such an intensive treatment environment. The client must be willing to engage in treatment and become abstinent.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient services provide concentrated intervention focused on assisting the patient in establishing initial abstinence. After a comprehensive substance abuse assessment, an individualized treatment plan and service schedule is established. Patients are educated on the disease process of addiction and participate in highly structured and highly focused treatment sessions. Group, individual and case management sessions address the individual’s personal addictive history and use patterns as well as concrete steps for interrupting the illicit use pattern. Related problems such as employment, family, legal, health and mental health concerns are also addressed. Patients attend a minimum of nine hours of counseling per week and are provided with periodic drug screening to help track progress.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have had services here for over a year and now all a sudden my services was cancelled over lies that one Mary O'Malley made against me that wasn't true at all I've had many issues in the past with them cancelling meetings out of the blue as well when I was there at the inpatient services my personal belongings was mishandled. One I was there at the inpatient services there was federal inmates that smelled like marijuana as well as was smoking marijuana on the grounds and when I brought it to the receptionist at the desk she then informed me that the federal inmates there pays there bills and I shouldn't worry about it. I wouldn't ever recommend this facility to any person in there right mind these people care nothing about helping people in my eyes because if they did these kinds of things wouldn't be going on.

The nurses in the dosing clinic are great. The counseling used to be good but now they are down to one counseler and my husband needed to guest dose and it never got done so he went 3 days without dosing. They need to hire more counselers

If I could give half of a star I would. This place is a joke. They have staff hooking up with the clients. They take in people who don't care or want help about their addiction and turn away others who do. Their turn over rate is ridiculous. This place is garbage

Just like any place you go, you get what you put in. If your not willing to get better and actually want to, no program is going to work. Rick is a lovely person and I have always had good councilors. The nurses are friendly and helpful. Treatment can save your life.

MY wife is a patient here and she's absolutely loves the counselors and staff! She also used this facility for her in patient rehabilitation and thankfully and graciously by the grace of God she is still sober to this day! She recommends fully anytime she can or someone is questioning about where they can find help in or around Springfield Illinois.

As a former employee I apologize to the people on here who had a bad experience while at FGC.I was actually scolded for being too nice to the residents. TOO NICE! How you can be too nice to someone who is going through one of the hardest things in they're lives is beyond me. Certain staff in particular is rude, disrespectful, and just a horrible human being at best. Hopefully any of the paitents who were there while I was there remember that I tried my best to treat them with compassion and empathy. I would not recommend this facility to anyone. I was so glad to get out of that place and find a job where I am appreciated, and I am able to treat clients with respect without being belittled for doing so.

The staff is incredibly rude and disrespectful. They have authority hunger and treat clients like dirt. They blatantly harass by calling clients inappropriate names. The staff does not communicate with eachother so everything is lost in translations. Rules are not followed. This is not the place to get help unless you have no choice. No one cares here. I m appalled and surprised this place has not been shut down

I ve been to the Harvey office for Methadone treatment, Manteno for inpatient, and Springfield for inpatient....and my life has been saved! Mr Marvin In Harvey is absolutely amazing and has great personal, but totally professional relationships with all his clients. Manteno: outstanding! Ms. Yolanda and Ms. Carol are were once where we were...now they save lives, like mine. Springfield, Ms. Kathy rocks!!! I can t speak on Chicago because I ve never been there. So seriously, for all the ones with negative comments, the problem was more than likely YOU weren t ready to be honest with yourself, and YOU weren t ready to surrender to the program. This program isn t new, if you paid attention you d know when it started, where it started, and by whom started it. Instead you are complaining about a counselor or 2 and forgetting if YOU didn t make the choices you did you wouldn t of had to go to any of the places, or fluctuate your Methadone dose amount, or deal with attitudes. When I was using I woulda dealt with anyone s attitude to get clean, considering I was hanging out with the devil everyday. Time for some folks to get honest and stop pointing fingers!! Be blessed everyone!
