About Northern Illinois Recovery Center

Located in Crystal Lake, Illinois, the Northern Illinois Recovery Center offers addiction treatment to teens and adults who are suffering from drug and alcohol addictions. They also offer dual diagnosis services which means that they treat mental health in addition to addiction. They specialize in a complete spectrum of care that includes detox services, a residential program, a partial hospitalization program, an intensive outpatient program and a standard outpatient program. They also have a sober living program.

When it comes to their detox service, they offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT). This can help in big ways by using medication to minimize the intensity of cravings and avoid any dangerous withdrawal symptoms. MAT services are provided in conjunction with therapy to treat the physical and psychological aspects of addiction.

Their residential program has room for 16 clients and allows them to access many services such as individual counseling, group therapy and family therapy in a safe, sober environment. This can help them identify triggers and learn coping skills. They offer these services in their outpatient programs as well.

They also use cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to treat their patients. They also offer more niche services like gambling addiction therapy. You’ll have medication management to make things easier for you and you’ll learn the practices of the 12 Step Program.

I like that you’ll also have access to more holistic treatment options like art therapy, music therapy and yoga. This is a great way to not only work on recovering from addiction but on cultivating your joy and brain health as well.

Accepted Insurance

Northern Illinois Recovery Center 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

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.

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
When participating in an inpatient rehab program, you'll reside at the treatment center for the duration of the program. Your housing and meals are provided, allowing you to focus on your recovery without outside triggers, stressors, and other distractions. You'll receive daily addiction counseling, drawing on various psychotherapeutic approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing. Many inpatient drug rehabs also offer complementary holistic therapies, such as yoga, meditation, or animal therapy, and creative arts therapy.
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.
12-step icon12-Step
Participants in 12 step programs focus on emotional, psychological, and spiritual growth as the foundation for long-term sobriety. They engage in regular 12 step meetings, which are anonymous, free, and accessible day and night, year-round, in most communities. Participants also receive one-on-one mentoring from a self-selected sponsor. Though the 12 steps of recovery are based on spiritual principles, religious affiliation isn't required. Specialized formats are available, including programs for seniors, teens, and families.
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.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
Loved ones can utilize a drug intervention in Illinois to help with addressing a family member's problematic substance use. The goal of the intervention is to educate the individual about the negative effects of their substance use and encourage them to accept professional treatment. Intervention services can help families initiate this conversation and plan appropriate follow-up care, such as inpatient or outpatient rehab.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
Addiction treatment often begins with 24-hour clinical care in Illinois. This supervised setting is the best environment for detox.where medical staff can provide 24/7 supervision and responsive care as your body is cleansed of addictive substances. Doctors may prescribe antagonist and partial agonist drugs to counteract the effects of drugs or alcohol, or they may slowly taper down dosages of substances to end physical dependence on the drug.

Treatments

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 provides you with a safe and supportive environment so you can address a traumatic experience. Your therapist helps guide you to understand your emotional, mental, and physical responses while developing healthier coping skills. This helps to improve your emotional resilience and ability to function in the community.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing

A therapist who specializes in creative arts therapy in Illinois helps you communicate your feelings through expressive activities such as painting, music, or acting. Skill in the art form is not required to benefit from this type of therapy.

Both inpatient and outpatient substance use disorder treatment programs may offer experiential therapy in Illinois. This method is often provided in addition to talk therapy. It offers opportunities for creative expression and reflection on emotions through activities such as adventure courses, animal care, music, or culinary arts.

NIRC has been the sixth rehab I have been to in a year's time and I can't say enough about this amazing place. It is by far the best in so many ways...the knowledge that they have and the way the people here truly care and get just as vulnerable with us as we are here with them...the compliments that come to mind are endless.. I will miss this place and I know that I am taking with me a better me... someone that I respect and love and I'm ready to face the world day at a time. I didn't have that walking in these doors and I'm a better person than I ever imagined I could be. I owe so much of my success to them.

I ve been to NIRC twice now and both times truly saved my life. The therapists and the holistic approaches to recovery are one of a kind. NIRC s PHP with housing program was a perfect transition for me between inpatient treatment and sober living. I now feel ready and prepared for living a more independent, sober life on the outside . Because of this program, I feel more connected spiritually and mentally stable than I ever was before. Today marks 100 days sober! Thank you (again) NIRC staff and clientele for making these past 2 months informative, fun, and unforgettable.

Your kind words mean the world to us wishing you continued strength and success as you move forward!

If you are struggling with alcohol or drug addiction I would definitely recommend Northern Illinois Recovery. The staff genuinely cares about each person in their care. They do a great job providing the tools and support for you to achieve success in the program. Pastor Bill runs the best groups and also holds a recovery program at a local church. My only complaint is the medication management. The nurses don t follow up with you as frequently as they should. I have to remind them each time I need a script or dosage change.

Response from the owner1 month ago
Thank you for your kind words and recommendation! We re so glad to hear you felt supported by our staff and benefited from the program. We also truly appreciate your honest feedback about medication management. Your input is invaluable as we continuously work to improve our services and provide the best care possible. Thank you again for sharing your experience!
