Above and Beyond Family Recovery Center

About Above and Beyond Family Recovery Center – Chicago

Above and Beyond Family Recovery Center is a drug and alcohol rehab facility located in Chicago, Illinois. They provide treatment for people of all ages who suffer from substance use disorder and alcohol use disorder. They treat people who struggle with addiction and mental health disorders as well.

They offer an intensive outpatient program to their clients. This means you will attend therapy several times a week for a few hours a day.

This is a very unusual rehab because of all the different treatment programs they have. They provide both spiritual and secular treatment programs. You will undergo an intake meeting during which you and your therapist will determine the best treatment program for you.

You may select a traditional 12 Step Alcoholics Anonymous program. This is a peer based program that involves mentorship and reliance on a higher power to help with your recovery.

Their Self Management And Recovery Training is for people who do not wish to incorporate religion into their recovery program. It is a four point program following the principle that all people can take control of their addiction.

Recovery Dharma is a spiritual program that is based on Buddhist philosophy. It teaches people to meditate and look within themselves for a path to recovery. You will use your own inner wisdom and that of those around you as part of your treatment.

They have gender specific group therapy programs for men and women. People often benefit most from group sessions with people they have the most in common with.

Their secular recovery program states that you have the power to change your habits. It shows you how to use logic and reasoning to overcome your destructive behaviors. You must choose two of these programs for your outpatient treatment.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12 step programs such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous are support group style programs for individuals who are experiencing alcohol or substance use disorder. At Evoke they use a holistic model of addiction care that includes using 12 step programs. These programs are an integral part of most relapse prevention plans and provide continued support and accountability that support sobriety.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
