About Emages Inc – Chicago
EMAGES Inc. is an acronym that stands for establishing, managing, and generating effective services. They were established in 1992 in Chicago Illinois, where they offer substance abuse, DUI, anger management and sex offender treatment. They also offer mental health treatment for co-occurring mental health disorders like anxiety, dysthymic disorder, personality disorder and mood disorders. Their treatments use a holistic approach that addresses each person using culturally competent strategies. Their goal is to empower you using individual, group and family counseling interventions.
The substance use treatment program begins with an assessment and evaluation to determine the level of service that’s appropriate to meet your needs. These evaluations look at the spiritual, political, social and biological factors that impact recovery. Your initial treatment plan is developed based on this evaluation. They offer level one and level two outpatient services that include individual and group counseling.
Group counseling is their primary treatment modality, focusing on addressing daily living issues. They believe that group therapy is a powerful clinical tool to help you work together with your peers to find solutions that strengthen each other and help you cope with common problems. These challenges might include addiction triggers and relationships that keep you from moving forward. You also receive at least one individual counseling session each week.
Your discharge planning begins right away during intake, when your treatment plan and goals are established. An aftercare plan is developed to support your sobriety. It may include weekly treatment sessions or additional services that support your needs as you integrate into the community.
