Arlington Center for Recovery LLC

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Arlington Heights, 2 offer a bed.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Arlington Heights offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They do not prescribe medication. For opioid use that is worth knowing before you choose, because medication changes what the first weeks look like, and Arlington Heights has 8 other centers.

They are outpatient. If someone needs to be away from where they are using, Arlington Heights has the nearest beds, about a mile away.

Arlington Heights has 20 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

There is no fixed length. What is on offer tends to be a 30, 60 or 90 day program. Longer time in treatment is associated with better outcomes, which is why the step down to outpatient care matters. Ask how many hours of treatment a day the length actually contains.

Documents, prescriptions, clothing, and the phone numbers you would struggle to replace. Chargers, razors and anything with a cord are often held and signed out when needed rather than kept in the room. Ask whether you can bring your own pillow, because the answer is often yes and it helps.

Outpatient programs are built around working hours precisely because most people cannot stop working. An employer generally needs the dates and a clinician's confirmation rather than the condition itself. Read your own leave policy before telling anybody anything.
