About North Central Behavioral Health Systems – Ottawa
North Central Behavioral Health Systems on East Etna Road in a suburban corner in Ottawa, Illinois, provides mental health care including specialized programs for youth and adults with addiction and substance abuse issues. These programs are offered in a variety of methods, including outpatient, intensive outpatient, residential and community support services.
When children and youth are in crisis, they need support that is available immediately and that responds effectively. North Central Mobile Crisis Response and Referral Entry Services (CARES) means that services are just a phone call away. It’s also neat that the county health department is literally next door, so you can get referrals if need be.
These services include medications such as naltrexone and buprenorphine. These medications will help minimize the symptoms, discomforts, and dangers experienced during withdrawal.
Those caught driving under the influence are often sent to DUI education programs such as this one to help them understand the risks and possible outcomes of driving while intoxicated. Drugs and alcohol treatment may be ordered along with DUI education.
There are residential programs for those who cannot manage living on their own right now due to mental health concerns. Many of these programs can be accessed through the East Etna location.
There are also permanent supportive housing projects for those that want to live independently but still require some support to enable them to successfully do so.
The intensive outpatient treatment program is there for individuals who may need daily support in not abusing drugs.
Weekly outpatient programs are available for those who are on the road to recovery and have successfully completed withdrawal and the initial struggles of addiction treatment.
Online counseling may be the perfect option for individuals who can’t or don’t feel comfortable doing in person therapy. Whether it’s because of transportation issues, life responsibilities, or anxiety, a lack of ability to meet in person shouldn’t stop you from being able to access treatment.
There is a long list of health insurance providers that North Central Behavioral Health Systems works with. They also accept State and Federal plans such as Medicaid and Medicare.
