IL Institute for Addiction Recovery - UnityPoint Health Methodist/Proctor

They offer inpatient hospital, outpatient and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Peoria has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Coming off opioids without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 1 places near Peoria that do it.

They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Peoria.

Peoria has 83 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Peoria that is the part that varies.

Adult women are one of the 5 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

Someone will want to know how recently you used, because that decides whether detox comes first. Understating the amount is the common mistake, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. Call (844) 822-5800 and that first conversation can happen now rather than being scheduled.

A medical leave is the normal route, and the reason given to an employer can stay general. A medical leave of absence from a college is normally reversible, and usually a better record than a failed semester. Read your own leave policy before telling anybody anything.
