Alexian Brothers BH Hosp

They offer inpatient hospital, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Hoffman Estates has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 1 of the 8 centers near Hoffman Estates offers one at all.

They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Hoffman Estates that is the part that varies.

Alongside this, Hoffman Estates has 15 NA meetings and 2 free AA meetings.

One of their programs is built for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 4 named here.

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Hoffman Estates does.

The questions are much the same wherever you call, because every intake line is screening for the same few things. Where a program is not the right fit, a decent intake worker will say so and name somewhere else. Ask what they would recommend if money were not a factor, and then what they recommend given that it is.

Identification, insurance card, medications in their original labeled containers, and a week of ordinary clothes. A written packing list exists at almost every residential program, and asking for it saves an argument at intake. Put the medication list together before anything else, and include doses and who prescribed them.
