i don t know the situation but i highly discourage using thresholds for anything at all. there is a center right next to my house and ive seen some of the worst neglect from the staff and actions from the young men who live here. the cops are here every single day but never end up doing anything. the staff lets them do whatever they want, even at sometimes forcing/leaving them to stay outside for hours in the cold i just hearing them banging on the door and screaming for hours.just now as i write this, something must ve happened and there is a kid from this house outside throwing bricks at an ambulance and fire truck that came here for him..the consolers watch them fight eachother jn public and do absolutely nothing. it seems like they are just waiting for the kids to age out to 21 half the time when they wont have to deal with them anymore

Thresholds kills people by enabling drug users. They give them free lodging and money which offers zero incentive to get better. No money monitoring so the money given to occupant went to a $700 sweatshirt. Poorly qualified service providers. And the wait list is so long yet I know of a 2 bedroom apartment that had only one occupant for months! And that person never even stayed there because they opted to stay in hotels with the drug addicted boyfriend! What a waste of time and resources for others who actually want to get better

Their website states that they are Chicago s only citywide mental health homeless outreach program, and our primary goal is simple: to get people living with mental illness off the street and help them recover and regain their lives. Thus, I called looking for assistance for an unhoused individual with need of psychiatric support and the intake receptionists were incredible rude to say the least. The first woman, Shayna, spoke to me with no respect and in anger misunderstood the information that I was trying to relay and hung up on me. I was told that the unhoused individual would need to have a cell phone available through govt assistance programs and when I said I needed her to go back a step and consider that before obtaining a phone she is having psychiatric issues preventing her from getting assistance through the programs that Shayna was mentioning (why I was calling)! She didn t even let me finished before yelling that no, you need to take a step back, clearly not hearing what I was trying to say. Before she hung up on me, I asked if I could speak to someone else and she responded No! I m intake. She ignored my requests to have her name and to speak to anyone else who would listen and help me find assistance for this unhoused individual sitting out in the 14 degree weather and pouring snow. Though she refused to provide me with her name, I found out later that her name was Shayna. When I called back, her colleague, Andrew, yelled at me that his colleague had already explained to me the services that they provide and when I repeated that I didn t understand and was just trying to help someone he insisted that his colleague had already helped me and refused to further help as well. He stated that the call was recorded and I assume that the corporation has access to this, but it breaks my heart to know that nothing is being done. If this is how local supportive services are run in the Chicago area, there s no wonder we are in such dire need of change. They made it clear that they did not believe who I was or why I was calling; which was extremely unexpected and peculiar! I hope this message reaches someone who can assist with equity training in their office and can help to make this a place that actually provides services rather than gatekeeping those that reach out at intake. Otherwise, investigations to the legitimacy of their service claims should be investigated by the federal labor bureau, whom I will be reaching out to with my concerns in addition to making their donors aware of how the public seeking assistance is treated upon intake. Their funds are evidently not being spent towards assistance or staff training. This is such a shame.

Accepted Insurance

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

Blue Cross Blue Shield

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

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

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) enable clients to receive high-level care while living at home. Clients may choose to enter IOP instead of enrolling in inpatient care post-detox or they may transition from an inpatient rehab into IOP. Intensive outpatient treatment involves multiple therapeutic sessions per week and includes a combination of psychotherapy and addiction and recovery education. Many programs also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) and/or holistic therapies, such as acupuncture and massage.

Medically Assisted Detox

During the medically supervised detox process, licensed medical professionals monitor your vitals and administer medications meant to help alleviate the physical symptoms of withdrawal. The process can take between five and seven days, although the actual length depends on your individual needs. In most cases, medically assisted detox is partially, if not fully, covered by 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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Hearing Impaired Program

A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.

Clinical Services

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.

During couples therapy in Illinois, you may work on a variety of relationship challenges. Couples therapy can address topics such as finances, children, health, addiction, intimacy, external stressors, and family relationships. You'll develop tools to address these types of challenges in healthy ways.

Family therapy helps to rebuild trust and strengthen relationships that have been affected by addiction. Therapists use guided interventions to help families improve their interactions and address underlying issues that impact their relationships. This helps create a supportive atmosphere for the recovery process.
