About New Vision – Thorek Memorial Hospital – Chicago
New Vision is a substance withdrawal management program offered through hospitals, including Thorek Memorial Hospital on West Irving Park Road in Chicago, Illinois. The program provides clients with a medically supervised detox from opioids, heroin, alcohol, cocaine, and combined substances. The New Vision program is a medical treatment service only and does not include behavioral health treatment. The program accepts most insurance plans.
The New Vision program is part of SpecialCare Hospital Management which is a BayMark Health Services company. New Vision focuses specifically on inpatient withdrawal management and medical stabilization.
Clients are patients in the hospital and are typically admitted for three days. The program treats those 18 and over. During their stay, clients are monitored by doctors and nurses while experiencing active or impending substance withdrawal.
The program accepts voluntary patients only who are seeking assistance in breaking the addiction cycle. They don’t take court mandated clients.
While in the short program, you’ll work on your discharge plan. The plan should include the next steps in your recovery which may be an inpatient or outpatient SUD treatment program.
The program does not offer a behavioral treatment component. However, they will accept clients with co occurring disorders as long as they’re already on a regimen of medication. For instance, a client with substance use and bipolar disorder will be accepted as long as the bipolar disorder is currently well managed.
Although the New Vision program is for substance withdrawal only, the hospital has a behavioral health unit for adults 18 and over. The behavioral health program offers comprehensive mental health services but does not have an SUD treatment program.
