They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Lombard, about a mile away, if you want something to compare it against.

One of their programs is built for people dealing with past trauma, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 7 named here.

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

Older adults, plus young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask how the groups are arranged in Downers Grove, because a wide age range often still means one room.

The list comes with you and gets reviewed. Nothing on it should change on a policy rather than a prescription. Any medication you were prescribed by someone else is still their decision until a prescriber at the program takes it over. Call (844) 822-5800 if a specific prescription is the thing making this complicated.

There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to put to two programs. Family education is often the part that changes how a household behaves, which is what the person comes home to. Ask what the visiting rules are in the first week and after it.

Identification, insurance card, medications in their original labeled containers, and a week of ordinary clothes. Phones are allowed at some centers, restricted at others, and the rule is often different in the first week. Leave anything valuable at home rather than arguing about it at intake.
