Chicago Treatment and Counseling Center – South Ashland Avenue

Located in Chicago, Illinois, Chicago Treatment and Counseling Centers is an organization that offers substance use treatment services. Clients can receive confidential counseling, medication management and education. The facility specializes in treating individuals who are addicted to heroin, oxycontin and other opiates. In addition to the facility on South Ashland Avenue, the organization also has three other locations throughout the city.

Methadone and Suboxone are the two options that Chicago Treatment and Counseling Centers provide for treatment. Methadone maintenance treatment is designed to stabilize patients so they can be able to maintain productive and independent lives. You’ll receive this medication after an assessment, a physical, and the development of a treatment plan.

Once you’ve been stabilized, you can proceed with the required monthly counseling sessions, where you’ll learn coping skills and gain knowledge on your addiction. Suboxone treatment has similar success in reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms. This medication is administered on a 30 day cycle. Doctors, nurses, and counselors will meet with you on a regular basis to monitor your progress.

An additional service I like that this facility provides is the DUI program. Clients can receive an assessment, education, and early intervention treatment services. The program is offered in both English and Spanish, and you can take the class in the morning, evening, or on weekends.

Chicago has an abundance of attractions that you can spend time enjoying after treatment sessions. Some of the things you can do include walking around Millennium Park or visiting the Art Institute of Chicago.
