Recovery Centers of America - St Charles

They provide inpatient residential and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Saint Charles is set up for.

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 Saint Charles that do it.

Saint Charles has 15 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

They treat both. A diagnosis left untreated while the substance use is treated is the usual reason a first attempt does not hold, and St. Charles is the nearest place to try instead if this one does not fit.

They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which not every center around Saint Charles does.

The number quoted is almost always the first block, and the whole arc of treatment runs longer than that block. Where a plan approves days in batches, the length you start with is not necessarily the length you get. Find out whether the program can be extended before you are in it.

Residential care is a bed and a program. Outpatient care is a schedule of appointments. Withdrawal from alcohol or from benzodiazepines can be medically dangerous, which pushes the choice toward supervised care. Ask what the step down from residential care looks like at that center.

Treatment often qualifies for job protected medical leave, though the rules depend on the employer's size and your length of service. Schools and colleges have their own leave of absence process, and a medical withdrawal is often reversible. Ask the program what its letter to an employer actually says.
