Northwestern Medicine Woodstock Hospital

Northwestern Medicine Woodstock Hospital, formerly called Centegra Hospital, offers multiple behavioral health services for adults struggling with mental health and substance use. They have inpatient treatment for mental health as well as multiple outpatient programs for addiction treatment.

Northwestern Medicine accepts multiple insurance plans. However, they are not in network with Meridian Medicaid. They also have help for those without insurance coverage.

Woodstock Hospital has three levels of outpatient care: partial hospitalization programs (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) and general outpatient care.

Their PHP can provide a similar level of intensity of care as residential care, except you go home at night. The IOP meets three times a week, three days a week. General outpatient care meets once or twice a week.

Services in all levels of outpatient treatment include having a primary therapist helping you create a treatment plan and set goals. This professional will also monitor your progress, provide individual counseling and help you schedule your group and family therapy sessions.

There are also expressive arts specialists on staff, so you may get to participate in art therapy, music therapy and other complementary approaches.

I like that they involved families in treatment because addiction can impact the whole family. There can be rifts between other family members over disagreements about how to handle the loved one with a substance use disorder.

Family therapy can help restore those relationships and teach everyone to set healthy boundaries, communicate well, and become essential supports for the one in recovery.
