Elmhurst Hospital Center - Opiate Dependency Treatment Services

They provide inpatient hospital, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. The nearest alternative is in Woodside, under a mile away, if you want something to compare it against.

They detox from opioids. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 1 of the 8 centers near Elmhurst offers one at all.

They treat pregnancy and the postpartum period, which matters because withdrawal in pregnancy is managed differently and not every place near Elmhurst is set up for it.

They treat both, and the rest of what they are set up for is adult men, adult women, court referrals, hiv/aids, lgbtq, pain management, past domestic violence, past sexual abuse, past trauma, pregnant/postpartum and veterans.

The nearest other center is a few streets away, in Elmhurst, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Anyone outside that range is worth a call rather than an assumption, and Elmhurst has 8 other centers to try.

The questions are much the same wherever you call, because every intake line is screening for the same few things. Having your insurance card in front of you shortens the whole thing considerably. Ask what the next step is and who is responsible for arranging it.

Identification, insurance details, prescriptions in their labeled containers, and about a week of clothes. Anything a prescriber gave you should travel with its label attached, because an unlabeled container is usually refused. Ask whether you can bring your own pillow, because the answer is often yes and it helps.
