About Loretto Hospital

Located just 15 minutes outside of downtown Chicago, Illinois is the Loretto hospital. This is a non-profit healthcare facility that’s committed to providing quality care to residents throughout the community.

Providing a welcoming environment to people from all walks of life, you’ll find compassionate, judgment free support and top quality healthcare services.

Support for Co-Occurring Needs

Their behavioral health department addresses struggles with mental health and they have dedicated programming if you’re working through a substance use disorder. They also have a Driving Under the Influence program if you’ve lost driving privileges or are involved in the legal system because of drug or alcohol use.

Services are offered in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. They accept Medicaid and Medicare.

Supportive Addiction Recovery

Although this is a traditional medical facility, you’ll find that the staff and medical team here work cohesively in support of you to address your recovery goals. It feels like a partnership when you move through your treatment plan and you’ll be served in a therapeutic environment where you’ll learn recovery skills that will help you build positive habits.

As a traditional hospital facility, you can expect evidence based practices including medically supervised withdrawal and clinical care. Medication management might be weaved into your treatment to address symptoms, especially if those symptoms exist alongside a cooccuring mental health struggle.

Many people with chronic addiction struggles will start care under their residential rehabilitation program and step down to outpatient care located in the same building. With services under the same roof, it makes it more streamlined to receive care.

Mobile Crisis Unit

This hospital’s commitment to serving residents throughout the region is exemplified through their Mobile Crisis Unit. This unit will deploy at any time of day if you’re experiencing a crisis, are struggling with thoughts of suicide, or need something as simple as a mental health assessment to determine how to start the recovery process.

My first time going to the Outpatient Clinic at Loretto Hospital with my special needs sons thought it will be a overwhelming process but to my surprise was not …The staff was so friendly and the clinic after a bit of time to know where the proper location to do this and that at the clinic went smoothly..The Doctor my sons saw her name is Elmira Thomas she is a Professional with a Good Bedside Manner dealing with Special Needs Patients..The Clinic was not gloomy and dark ..It’s bright and very clean … I am glad I choose this clinic for them cause some doctors do not take the time or patience they would rush u out like cattle..But I enjoy my visit and everything went well …..I know Loretto not for everyone cause this hospital not made to do everything like the top notch hospital BUT don’t judge a book by its cover especially the clinic section

Accepted Insurance

Loretto Hospital works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.

outpatient iconOutpatient

Clients in outpatient rehab receive a variety of services based on their unique and evolving needs. Typical outpatient treatment modalities include individual, group, and family counseling, recovery-focused life skills training, and community reintegration support. Many programs also provide medication assisted treatment (MAT) for clients recovering from alcohol and/or opioid dependency. Clients exiting inpatient treatment or those who are at an elevated risk of relapse may engage in more robust treatment, such as intensive outpatient (IOP) programming.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

As a flexible option, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is tailored for those who don't require 24-hour care. PHP treatment can include daily therapeutic sessions and services such as relapse prevention and medication management. Based on your needs, PHP treatment duration can average 90 days and require a minimum of 20 hours of commitment weekly. While a partial hospitalization program typically requires a commute, telehealth may be available. PHP treatment costs can vary but are often covered by most insurance.

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.
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.
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.

Clinical Services

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For many years, I unknowingly faced the challenges of living with fibroids, which ultimately led to a myomectomy in 2011. However, my journey toward recovery did not conclude there. Over the last several years I've consulted with three to five different obstetrician gynecologists (OBGYNs), each possessing the requisite medical expertise but lacking the drive, compassion and connection that I so urgently needed. Despite articulating my concerns regarding symptoms such as shortness of breath, irregular heart rates, brittle nails, hair damage and detected low hemoglobin, I received little more than a prescription for iron sulfate, with no comprehensive dietary guidance or follow-up interventions (without firm request). This experience left me feeling unheard and my health concerns dismissed. However, my perspective shifted dramatically when I consulted with Dr. Pierre Johnson. His approach combined prompt, professional service with the compassion I had been missing. Dr. Pierre took the time to educate me on my procedural options and treated my uterine health with the seriousness it deserved. He respected my choices and connected me with a supportive community of women with similar experiences, providing both emotional support and educational resources. When cardiac clearance was necessary, Dr. Pierre acted quickly, ensuring I secured an appointment within 24 hours and completing an echocardiogram and stress test within 72 hours. This responsiveness was a significant relief, as it made me feel supported and prioritized. As an African American woman and a professional nurse leader, I am acutely aware of the disparities that exist in women’s healthcare. The importance of finding a compassionate and dedicated healthcare provider cannot be overstated. My experience with Dr. Pierre was exemplary. From the moment I entered his office, I was met with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Dr. Pierre, a young Black male OB-GYN, demonstrates a profound understanding and respect for the unique experiences of his patients. He and his exceptional staff cultivated an environment that facilitated a seamless experience. I am committed to sharing my positive experience within my nursing network, sisterhood circles, and community connections. Compassionate care is essential, and Dr. Pierre embodies this principle beautifully. I am forever grateful for my experience. Jacqueline Morris DNPc, PMHNP-BC, MSN, BA

My brother is currently in addiction center, and every time we talk on the phone he tells me all pts in that specific floor which is 8th floor are treated like shit. I can’t believe there is no one there that really cares for this people that are trying to get help. I hope this nurses, security’s front desk and whoever is involved in mistreating this pts don’t go thru a family member that gets treating like animals. May god bless all addiction pts in this hospital I can’t imagine what support they are getting it’s really sad. Who ever is the director in this floor needs to do something with staff not being professional and rude at the same time.
