Outpatient Drug and Alcohol Treatment at Banyan Chicago

Step 1: Call into Our Admissions Department
Clients or family members can call into our admissions department and speak to one of our treatment specialists. Our team is available 24/7, ensuring that help is always within reach. During this initial call, our specialists will provide compassionate support and gather preliminary information about the client's situation. This includes understanding the nature of the substance use issue, any co-occurring mental health conditions, and other relevant details. This step is crucial as it sets the foundation for the subsequent stages of the admission process.

Step 2: Initial Assessment
After the initial call, we schedule a comprehensive assessment to determine the medical and clinical needs of the client. This assessment is reviewed by our experienced medical and clinical staff and includes a thorough evaluation of the client's physical health, mental health, and substance use history. The assessment may involve standardized questionnaires, interviews, and, if necessary, medical examinations. The goal is to create a detailed profile of the client's condition, which will guide the development of a personalized treatment plan. This step ensures that we can identify the most suitable program for the client, whether it be residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, or another level of care.

Step 3: Verification of Insurance
Understanding the financial aspects of treatment is a crucial part of the admissions process. Our admissions team will work with the client's insurance provider to verify benefits and coverage. We strive to ensure that clients and their families have a clear understanding of their insurance benefits, the estimated costs of care, and any out-of-pocket expenses they might incur. This transparency helps in alleviating any financial concerns, allowing clients to focus solely on their recovery journey. Our team is also available to answer any questions regarding payment plans or financial assistance options if needed.

Step 4: Admission into Program
Once all preparations are complete, individuals are officially admitted into the treatment program. This marks the beginning of their therapeutic journey. Upon arrival, clients are welcomed by our staff. During the initial phase of treatment, clients will undergo a detailed orientation to the program's rules, schedules, and expectations. This step ensures that clients feel comfortable and supported as they transition into the therapeutic environment, setting the stage for a successful recovery process.

Patients will participate in these programs for several hours a week or even daily, depending on their level of care.

Our staff will closely monitor their physical and mental health progress to ensure they are on the right track.

Our goal is for patients to leave our facility with all the knowledge and tools they need to succeed. We aim to instill confidence in our patients, assuring them that they can maintain sobriety outside of treatment. By providing comprehensive care and support, we help our patients build a strong foundation for a sober and healthy life.

Banyan Chicago is an extension of our network of nationwide addiction rehabs, Banyan Treatment Centers. At Banyan Treatment Centers, we have spent several years helping people from across the country overcome their substance abuse disorders as well as their mental health problems and lead happier and healthier lives. We believe in a comprehensive approach to addiction treatment as well as creating personalized and tailored treatment plans for each patient. These individualized plans are designed to give patients their greatest chance of long-term success.

Not only will we work with our patients to help them overcome their physical dependence on a substance, but we also strive to dig deeper to decrease the chance of relapse. We also strongly believe that sobriety is a life-long journey and requires support throughout the process. Because of this mantra, our patients can confidently leave our facility knowing that they are not alone. Even after walking out of our door, we continue to reach out and provide resources for the lifelong recovery process.

Banyan rehab centers are recognized for their commitment to high standards of addiction treatment, ensuring both initial sobriety and sustained recovery. Accredited by the Joint Commission, a symbol of quality healthcare nationwide, our facilities provide evidence-based resources tailored to each individual's journey. We strive to support long-term success by equipping our clients with the tools needed for lasting sobriety, distinguishing ourselves as leaders in the field of addiction recovery.

Telehealth, also known as telemedicine, allows patients to receive treatment and counseling virtually. Healthcare providers use videos to chat, call, and message patients about their symptoms and treatment. Advancements in technology have made telehealth for addiction treatment in Illinois more accessible, even for those not proficient with technology. Patients in our outpatient programs can use telehealth to meet their treatment requirements and stay connected with counselors, sponsors, and specialists.

Our Illinois rehab facilities offer various addiction treatment levels for in-person care, but telehealth services are provided at an intensive outpatient level, known as an intensive outpatient program (IOP). This program includes evidence-based therapies and is ideal for patients who have completed medically monitored detox and intensive care (such as residential treatment) and need help adjusting to a sober lifestyle.

The IOP consists of 3-hour sessions, three days a week, where patients work with therapists on their progress and challenges. Family therapy may also be included to help patients mend relationships and build a support system.
