South Shore Hospital - Medical Detox Services

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

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines and methamphetamines. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 2 of the 8 centers near Chicago offer one at all.

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

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

They prescribe methadone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Chicago offers both.

They treat both. Depression and anxiety alongside a substance are common rather than unusual, and one place handling the two together beats two handling one each. Chicago has 8 other centers if this one cannot.

Compare the specifics, because almost every center describes itself in the same words. The daily schedule is the most revealing document a program holds, and most will send it on request. Ask whether the person on the phone works for the center or for a referral service.

Nobody can give you a real number from a listing page alone, including us. Medicaid covers addiction treatment in every state, though which centers accept it varies from county to county. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can go through what your coverage is likely to reach.
