About AMITA Health Medical Group Behavioral Health GlenOaks – Glendale Heights

AMITA Health Medical Group was located in Glendale Heights, Illinois. The group partnered with community stakeholders for the health needs of all. Priorities included preventing and treating mental health and substance use disorders. They worked on enhancing access to meaningful health care based on a holistic model of care. Additionally, the group worked on developing safe, affordable housing.

Glendale Heights is a suburban community only 30 miles west of Chicago. The village area has several parks with playgrounds, splash pads, and recreational facilities. Despite the amenities, the mental health services were inadequately funded.

The medical group wanted to ensure that behavioral healthcare and substance use treatment services were integrated into the continuum of care for a better overall health outcome. Additionally, the group worked to build an effective and efficient person centered model of healthcare to create meaningful access to care for all DuPage County residents.

The former medical group offered comprehensive treatment services for substance use and mental health disorders. The services included inpatient and outpatient treatment programs with tracks for clients with both disorders. Additionally, the treatment facility offered medically managed detox.

The medical group has been through several name and program changes and no longer operates under the AMITA name. The facility is now UChicago Medicine Advent Health GlenOaks.

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).

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

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.

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.
