About Matteson,IL Sertoma Star Centre Inc. – Matteson
Sertoma Centre focuses on mental health counseling and substance misuse for adults and teens. Services include outpatient counseling, residential support services, and crisis stabilization. They offer START, a psychosocial rehabilitation (PSR) program, and a community support team (CST) for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities who also have a diagnosed mental illness. You’ll find ’em located out in on Chicago’s South Side in Matteson, Illinois.
The site is trauma-informed and ADA accessible. Individuals who need a court ordered alcohol and drug evaluation can have one completed here by a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC).
Depending on the services you need, they accept payment through Medicaid, commercial insurance, Employee Assistance Programs, and self-pay.
Outpatient counseling helps people with substance use, trauma, grief, and other mental health issues. Therapists use proven methods like dialectical (DBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), along with trauma-informed care.
One thing that stands out about outpatient counseling here is flexibility. You can join group sessions one or two days a week or opt for weekly individual sessions. They cover topics like trauma recovery, emotional regulation, and mindful meditation. An art therapist oversees the expressive arts therapy groups. You pick what fits your recovery goals best!
I also really like how integrated they are with the local community. They address not only substance abuse, but also social factors that can impact your mental and behavioral health. Sertoma Centre provides in-school counseling across the South Suburbs so that students have a safe, supportive space to get help for things like anxiety, substance use, and trauma. The program includes confidential group therapy sessions during the school day.
START helps people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and mental illness build skills to manage their condition. The program includes groups for practicing coping skills and connecting with others. CST offers weekly home visits to support daily needs, healthcare, and medications. Plus, they help with housing and jobs. They’re available 24/7 to make sure individuals have the support they need to live independently.
