They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Arlington Heights is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Vernon Hills, 4.6 miles away.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Buffalo Grove.

Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Buffalo Grove has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.

Buffalo Grove has 1 free AA meeting as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. Where a program has no prescriber, your own doctor stays in charge of what you take. Call (844) 822-5800 if a specific prescription is the thing making this complicated.

A mental health condition alongside substance use is the common case rather than the complicated one. A diagnosis made during active use often changes once withdrawal is behind somebody. Ask what happens to your current psychiatric medication during the program.

Legally it is private, including from family, and including from an employer who is paying. That rule exists because people avoided treatment when they could not rely on it, which is worth knowing when you weigh it. Ask whether messages can be left for you and who is allowed to leave them.
