About Healthcare Alternative Systems – West Armitage – Chicago
Healthcare Alternative Systems (HAS) has provided affordable, culturally appropriate and bilingual behavioral health services across communities in Chicago, Illinois for at least 50 years. They target the underserved and people from the inner cities who lack access to quality care.
HAS operates about 14 outpatient clinics that provide accessible care for individuals seeking support. The Logan Square clinic offers integrated substance use recovery and mental health support as well as anger management, domestic violence and DUI services.
HAS adopts a whole person approach to recovery that sets individuals on a path to lasting healing. Both general outpatient and intensive outpatient care are available to accommodate clients seeking different levels of support. Your recovery journey in this clinic begins with a thorough biopsychosocial assessment to help the care team identify needs, recovery goals and barriers to healing.
You’ll work with the care team to create a personalized care plan to guide your healing journey following the assessment. Therapy is primarily delivered in a group format alongside individual sessions to help you build a strong foundation for a healthy and hopeful future. You’ll learn about the disease of addiction and stages of recovery and gain practical tools that inspire a healthy lifestyle and prevent relapse.
Your tailored care may incorporate medication-assisted treatment if you’re struggling with opioid use issues. Mothers dealing with substance issues and co-occurring postpartum depression can benefit from HAS’s accessible community-based interventions. They manage symptoms and foster recovery via clinical evaluation, therapy and support groups.
HAS offers DUI services to help individuals meet legal requirements and support safer driving habits. The goal is to promote informed decision making, prevent recidivism and fulfill court-mandated requirements for DUI classes.
Their anger management program uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help clients regulate emotions and develop healthy coping strategies. HAS’s free domestic violence program offers tailored counseling and support services, focusing on keeping survivors and their families safe. Their trauma focused and strength-based DV counseling encourages independent decision making.
They offer DV crisis intervention and safety planning as well as court and legal advocacy and referral to community support services. It’s all about helping victims achieve safety, self sufficiency and lasting peace. Domestic violence and anger management services are important because both can result from or lead to substance dependency.
