Timberline Knolls - Residential Treatment Center

They provide inpatient residential and detox. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Bolingbrook is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Lemont, not all of them do.

They treat pregnant and postpartum clients. Ask whether prenatal care is on site or coordinated with somewhere else in Lemont.

Lemont has 7 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

They offer treatment in Sign language. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Lemont has 8 other centers to ask.

What you pay depends more on insurance than on which center you choose. Detox is the most expensive stretch because it is medical care, and it is also the shortest. Ask for the all in figure, then ask which parts of it are estimates.

Confidentiality here is unusually strong by law, and that is a different thing from nobody noticing. The form sets both who may be told and what they may be told, which are two separate choices. Ask how long the record is kept and what would have to happen for anyone to see it later.

Most people who recover have more than one attempt behind them. A recurrence is treated as part of the condition rather than as a failure of character. Say what happened last time and what was missing from the plan.
