Alcohol use disorder (alcoholism) can be severe, moderate, or mild. Symptoms include spending a lot of time drinking, wanting to stop but being unsuccessful, and feeling strong cravings that lead to overuse of alcohol. At any severity level, alcohol addiction is treatable through alcohol rehab in Illinois. Most comprehensive rehab programs include medical detox, inpatient rehab, and ongoing alcohol counseling/support (maintenance).

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.

Dual-diagnosis addiction treatment in Illinois focuses on integrated care for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. These specialized rehab programs include detox, medication-assisted treatment, residential drug and alcohol rehab, and outpatient programs. Treatment incorporates a combination of trauma-informed and evidence-based therapies — like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing— support groups, and skills training to holistically address addiction and co-occurring disorders at the same time, enhancing your mental, physical, and emotional health.

Specialized dual-diagnosis rehabs in Illinois, have the expertise to treat both mental health and substance abuse. Usually offered on an inpatient and outpatient basis — depending on your individual needs — these comprehensive treatment programs include medical and psychological support, experiential therapies, counseling, and evidence-based therapeutic interventions aimed at addressing substance use disorders and improving mental health. Typically, you’ll learn how to reframe unhelpful patterns, skills to overcome relapse triggers, and improve your mental health.

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.

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.

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.

At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.

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.

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.

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse or mental health treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. From the day the patient is admitted, every possible step is taken to ensure she will receive ongoing care.

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. In order to continue helping women in need, Timberline Knolls offers Partial Hospitalization Program for mental health, substance abuse, eating disorders and co-occurring issues to women age 18 and older.

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.

Expressive therapy has been clinically proven to promote healing and recovery, in addition to providing a needed creative outlet for women during treatment, and after they return to their home environment. Their expressive therapy program includes a variety of outlets a woman can select based on her personal interests: art therapy in a historical art studio that supports painting, sculpture and other medias, dance/movement therapy, empowerment group (experiential trauma recovery), self-defense in their on-site fitness facility, outdoor recreation such as volleyball, basketball, soccer, badminton or gardening on their 43 acre campus.

They integrate the use of DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) skills, clinically proven to be effective in working with trauma, along with experiential therapies to help women with unresolved trauma learn to release feelings of shame, fear and anxiety in a constructive way. This awareness reassures them of their ability to make recovery-oriented choices in the future when they are confronted with reminders of trauma. The skills learned in DBT reduce a woman’s need to rely on her symptoms for self-soothing and instead provide growth-enhancing alternatives.

Timberline Knolls helps each woman with anorexia nervosa, bulimia, or another eating disorder develop the skills she will need to experience the joys of lifelong recovery.

Peers give each other encouragement as they share their unique stories in a non-judgmental setting, which can reduce the shame associated with addictive diseases.

IIndividual and/or group psychotherapy sessions help many women suffering with alcohol and abuse to better understand the addictive disease process and alleviate their symptoms.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
