Questions people ask about Westcare Illinois Inc
What treatment does Westcare Illinois Inc offer?
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 Westcare Illinois Inc?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Chicago offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Does Westcare Illinois Inc offer appointments by video?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Chicago.
Are there free support meetings in Chicago?
Alongside this, Chicago has 83 NA meetings and 876 free AA meetings.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Westcare Illinois Inc?
They do not prescribe medication. For opioid use that is worth knowing before you choose, because medication changes what the first weeks look like, and Chicago has 8 other centers.
What happens when I call?
It is a screening conversation, and the answers decide what gets suggested. Nobody needs a diagnosis to make this call, and most people making it do not have one. Ask what the next step is and who is responsible for arranging it.
How long would I be in a program?
Expect days for withdrawal management, weeks for a residential program, and months for anything outpatient. The 28 day figure comes from what insurers once reimbursed rather than from anything about how recovery works. Ask how many hours of treatment a day the length actually contains.
Is there a waiting list?
Detox beds turn over fastest because the stays are shortest. A medical need moves someone up a list, and withdrawal risk is the usual reason. If the wait is long, ask what the next level down could start on.
