Ascension Illinois Presence Behavioral

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Westchester, 1 offers a bed.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Hines, 1.5 miles away.

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them under a mile away in Broadview.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Westchester.

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

They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Westchester are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.

The list comes with you and gets reviewed. Nothing on it should change on a policy rather than a prescription. Anything needing a blood test or a monthly injection has to be scheduled around the program, which is easier arranged before admission. Any change to what you take is a conversation with a prescriber, never a decision from a page like this.

A medical leave is the normal route, and the reason given to an employer can stay general. Where a workplace runs an assistance program it usually sits outside the management chain and keeps what it is told. Read what your own policy says before you tell anybody anything.
