About North Central Behavioral Health Systems

North Central Behavioral Health Systems (NCBHS) is located in La Salle, Illinois. They provide intensive outpatient addiction treatment to adults and adolescents in Central and North Central Illinois. They also offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT), DUI evaluations, prevention programs, case management services, crisis intervention services and mental health counseling.

To ensure treatment is as accessible as possible, they offer online counseling services for those who aren’t facing serious mental illnesses. Online therapy is completely secure and provides the same support as in-person therapy, while being much more flexible.

Their intensive outpatient addiction programs consist of support groups where you can share your experiences and learn healthier coping mechanisms with peers who can sympathize with your journey. The programs are split by age to ensure group discussions are relevant to the attendees because addiction affects every age group differently. These programs are also suitable for those with a dual diagnosis.

Something I like about NCBHS is that the length of your treatment is easily adjustable. They can provide intensive, long-term support for chronic mental health conditions, substance use disorders (SUD), psycho-social rehabilitation and other long-term concerns. This is great when dealing with chronic behavioral health concerns or when starting addiction treatment for the first time.

They also provide short-term, solution-focused counseling for things like stress, depressive episodes or situational anxiety. If you’re sober but concerned about relapsing due to a life event then this type of brief program can support you through the difficult time. They’ll give you tools to manage yourself well and remain sober while working through the challenge.

Do yourself a favor and pass this place up. To call them inept would be giving them a compliment.

Called to ask about group housing for someone. Weither it's this place or someone from Macomb, you get a "We will call you back" and never get a call back. It's been going on 2wks after this weekend that I'm waiting on a call back from them. So, I don't think I'd recommend the place for a loved one. If they don't communicate before, they aren't going to communicate while your loved one is there. No stars if I could.

Accepted Insurance

North Central Behavioral Health Systems 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Treatments

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 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.

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.

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 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.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
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.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
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

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.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

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.

Counselors provide understanding and support for their clients at North Central Behavioral Health - LaSalle. They work with their clients to help facilitate change. That means more than just talking about problems; it means learning to change the way one thinks about them and learn new ways to cope with one’s feelings. The process can include both individual treatment and group work. It can be focused on a specific issue or focused on broader patterns of thinking and behavior. Regardless they both require an individual to learn new, healthier ways to think and interact.

My therapist was a joke. She wrote down my information wrong 3x while not making any eye contact with me therefore she was typing all this info in while ignoring me than got me red flagged. The only thing this place does is help you get SSI if your truly mentally struggling they don't care. My ex therapist left me a voicemail saying "all systems are a go kid everything is good on our side" talking about extremely needed medicine that without causes seizures. Instead of doing her job she made dumb comments like being excited to take me on as a patienr because of how stressing my life is. I made it 3-4 visits and for my mental safety and for my life I had no choice but to walk away. You caused me more harm than good. They truly don't care

Their turn over rate for therapists is ridiculous, the worst thing for someone in need of mental healthcare is inconsistency. When you try to talk to the supervisors there, they tell you that you need to learn to adapt to new people, or refuse to speak to you in general. Unacceptable and seems even the higher ups are there for a paycheck.

Only good thing about this place is my therapist Rhonda.I ve been out of my meds that are dangerous to miss one dose for 10 days now. Last week, I left a message with the nurses line to reschedule an appointment with my psyche and get a refill, never received a call back. Tried again today and there is an issue with their phone line.Before that I went six days without my meds, stated that in my voicemail. It s now been another 4 days and thankfully my pharmacy gave me an emergency partial refill.Really sick of this place just not caring about their patients. I have a friend who s been waiting 6 months to a year to see a therapist, keeps getting one and they keep leaving and he s left without anything.DO NOT COME HERE FOR HELP. Try to find somewhere else. They leave you in the dark.
