Jackson Park Hospital & Medical Center

The Jackson Park Hospital and Medical Center is located on the south side of Chicago, Illinois, near the South Shore Cultural Center and just blocks from Lake Michigan. The center is a 256 bed short-term comprehensive care facility that opened to the community during World War I when it provided care to returning veterans.

Today, the hospital offers a variety of specialties and types of care including inpatient detox and stabilization. They have a partial hospitalization program too if you have acute or persistent psychiatric disorders that require a comprehensive and multidisciplinary team approach. The program is designed to help when you experience an addiction and co-occurring mental health condition, including depression, anxiety, mood or personality disorders. It can also help with relationship or family issues and life transitions.

On admission, your diagnostic and psychological evaluation forms the foundation of your tailored treatment plan. Your plan might include individual and group therapy sessions, case management to connect you with community resources, focused symptom education and management, and a therapeutic community. Each program includes discharge planning and aftercare planning to promote your recovery journey and support sustainable recovery in the community.

Specific programs are provided for substance use issues and mental health conditions to minimize the relapse potential in addition to addressing the psychiatric issues. The PHP program is offered in morning or afternoon and evening sessions of approximately 5 hours of structured treatment each day.

This allows you to maintain some of your responsibilities while receiving comprehensive care and living at home. Referrals to the program can be made by physicians, mental health professionals or friends, or you can seek treatment yourself. You can receive a free confidential assessment to determine if you are a good fit for the program. They will work with most major insurance providers in Illinois.
