Questions people ask about LSSI

Is LSSI inpatient or outpatient?

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

Can you detox at LSSI?

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

Can a 16 year old be treated at LSSI?

They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Chicago is worth confirming before you drive over.

Can you stay overnight at LSSI?

Nobody stays overnight. Outpatient means you keep sleeping at home and come in for sessions, and the closest residential option is 3.4 miles away in Chicago.

Does LSSI offer appointments by video?

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Chicago.

Does LSSI take court ordered treatment?

They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Chicago is something they handle.

Should family be part of this?

There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to put to two programs. A release of information, signed by the patient, is what opens that door, and it can be narrow or wide. Ask what exists for the family separately from the person being treated.

What is not allowed?

Think documents and medication first, comforts second. A written packing list exists at almost every residential program, and asking for it saves an argument at intake. Ask how much cash, if any, is useful to have with you.
